    actually its not ball busting. The JB Hunt yard manager hired a guy to tarp their loads for them, so when they come to work their loads are tarped and strapped. They just have to untarp and roll straps up. How many flatbed guys do you know have their loads tarped and strapped for them.

    Wow, when 50% of the country makes 50k or under. I didn’t realize a “basic” income was over 100k per year plus benefits.

    Why do people continue to lower their self worth. Every American Truck driver should be making what I Suggested.

    If you are thinking its a job....you will earn job wages.

    50 k is just above poverty for a family and will leave you broke when you retire at 65.

    Meanwhile, the CEO is making millions...sitting behind a computer.
     
    Beaver9, HD_Renegade and feldsforever Thank this.
