    Yeah Brooklyn if you still have the authority and can swing the insurance and other things like a good trailer then you'll be ok! Seeing how you live in CO you might be wanting to run west so be sure that if you get a reefer that it's going to pass the CAB compliance rules so I would not buy an older reefer or if you do just stay the heck out of CA!

    now a lot of people blame the insurance companys for the hiring pratice of companys that apply stupid rules BUT its not all on the insurance company its the #### company o they will place blame on anyone that they can get away with but in fact there are a lot of drivers out here that are out of work and a lot of owner operators that have lost there truck and that makes for a whole lot of drivers more then most realise, that creates one helluva driver pool and the companys pick and choose from that pool as they choose, you would be amazed at how quick all those rules dissapear when drivers get back to work and they cant find anyone to drive there junk. can you do anything about it ? well yes you can, remember those companys and when the time comes turn your back on them just like there doing to you pay back is somtimes sweet. good luck to all. ---southernpride

    I was told today that a company is hiring...... but not experienced drivers. That's like giving a 3rd grader an AR-15 and sending him/her to Iraq. I know you have to pay me more but seriously the fact that I'm not going to tear up your truck has to account for something. Why would you risk the lives of them and the public all in an attept to save a few penny's per mile? It's not like the public doesn't already think that we are a bunch of drugged up, uneducated, domestic violence supporting, drunk, convoy running, loose cannons anyway, but hey as long as we save a few bucks lets just keep the stereotype going. I'll be back later. I have to go smoke a blunt, snort a line or 7, Do my Wii Fit workout cause Brenda Lee said its all the rage. Beat the wife (she talks too much) chug a 5th of Vodka (cant smell it DOT) and get the boys together so we can ride 15 cars deep to Wal-Mart to get some Cheetos
