    One phone call from the gas supplier to the governor’s office......
    Usually one good snow storm and a week of winter weather sends everyone into melt down.......

    no one wants inventory till it’s cold.......

    117 hours on the books was my record......

    Last few years I just laugh and say no.... work legit hours like the rest of the year.

    screw the exemption....... you just sit in line waiting to load anyways

    The only reason I'd be inclined to consider running on the exemption is if I had a sleeper, and that's only because I'm paid by the hour, so the horror stories of other drivers in my company of years past when lines to a certain propane rack that could only load 2 trucks at a time was 30-40 truck deep would be quite a payday. But I don't have a sleeper, so I'll continue to run on the 70.

    the only reason why most of us aren't with the brown boys cause the starting pay is too low for class A,
