    I always get nervous when there's a Subaru around.

    Biggest complaint so far are truck drivers that stay in the middle lane on a 3 lane lane highway and don't move for trucks that want to pass. Creates a sticky situation when the dude is cruising 60mph and the passing truck is doing 70. Like move the #### over buddy. I understand in busy metropolitan areas the middle lane is best but I'm talking about areas with not that much traffic.

    I only hauled milk for 15 months

    Only got scaled 3-4 times driving 2500-3000 miles a week around Chicago from Michigan to Wisconsin.

    Never once inspected.

    If the guy next to you shuts your reefer off just turn it back on and then start a regen.

    I love the energy of that response, but I sleep heavily enough that I'm pretty sure you could back into me and it wouldn't wake me up... God knows I can sleep through a jet engine starting up outside my cab

    House of service and government labor board.

    Why is trucking the only industry to essentially be told when to work, rest, how much you can work, and throwing out some basic labor laws like, working 60 hours straight without overtime after 40.
