    Will Work For Fuel ! ,,, Ha, Ha, that's funny FastForward.. but here's the idea!

    Any trucks sitting for more than three days at the truck stops, should get a card board sign made up.
    "Will Work For Fuel ! "
    And then All the drivers stand up along the Road with their signs!


    How come you don't hear this on the news? what the drivers are going through?

    Taco Bell? Hey, I want extra stuff in my order. Used to be a night out was a really nice restaurant, now Taco Bell and White Castle. Two reasons, one it's only 8 miles from the house and two, its cheap. Sad, sad, sad.
    Mustard, are you going to the one in Springfield? I'll visit.
    Good luck guys.

    Thanks, I appreciate the words of wisdom from the experienced drivers and I am glad you can see that I am not like alot of the new drivers on here. I know the industry is WAY down right now, I dont have any unreal expectations about the $40,000 a year my school recruiter lied to me about. Thankfully I am in a financial postition where I can afford to not make any money for awhile while I pay my dues and get some OTR experience. I dont see how some of these younger guys with a family to support are gonna make it but I wish them all the best!

    Why do all the new guys just except it and let these companies kick them around like dogs just to try to get a start in a industry that flat out sucks right now,..And probably will not get better anytime in the near future,...

    If your gonna do the job,.Make #### sure you get payed right for it,..Otherwise you become part of the problem that has brought what once was a respectable industry to it's knees,.......

    I was saying that with the state of the economy there isnt alot of money to be made right now and I can live with that, I wasnt saying I'm gonna bend over and let them screw me out of what little bit I do earn!
