    That's why everyone needs to apply to level the chances agains culling.

    Contract freight does not equal guaranteed freight.

    I have a lot of buddies who are waking up to that reality this morning.

    Add the 5 yr 500k Cummins warrant with tow for $5000 and be out the door at 147. That’s what I do anyway.

    I remember about 5 or 6 years ago they had brand new Cascadias for like $115K with a Cummins.

    I wouldn't be real excited about used company trucks, from guys that can't manage their money, that have had the guts run out of them by company drivers either
     
    Rocks, Dale thompson and tommymonza Thank this.

    I drove past the Woodburn, OR POE yesterday. It looked like there were workers passing out food boxes and bottled water to drivers after they went over the scales. Who would of ever thunk it.

    I keep hearing about these driver care packages. I haven't seen one yet.

    And Facebook added these little virus sayings to your photo ( the virus is trendy now that Tom Hanks had it ) and one is "Thank a trucker".

    But so far, I'm the only one I've seen using that one.

    I wonder if someone handed the care package givers back a full pee bottle???
     
    Dale thompson, tommymonza and PPDCT Thank this.

    Did you notice the banner on the I-5 overpass that said "THANK YOU TRUCK DRIVERS"? Now I can't remember exactly where it was.
     
    Rocks and PPDCT Thank this.
