    Back when men ran spring ride two sticks with armstrong steering and today’s pantywaist wouldn’t last a day in this job.

    No shortage of drivers, shortage of good companies to work for, or they treat their people like ####.
    Might be more young people interested in driving if the companies weren't a holes, and the dispatchers didn't #### all over drivers.
    I don't even ( won't ) drive for a mega, just read the crap on here.
    Insurance rates, redo the courts, 90 million against Werner for a mother that was at fault. ####ing world going to hell. Bad for her family but this will affect a lot of people.
