    One of these Amazon jokers was parked on the southbound shoulder of highway 99 south in California with the trailer hanging out into the right lane.

    I didn't see it in time to change lanes because I was coming around a curve. And it was dark out and raining.

    And I couldn't have changed lanes because Super Trucker was passing me on my left. This left me with inches to spare, but I cleared the trailer.

    CHP immediately notified.

    I'm thinking that Amazon is the OTR of containers. Or the new container crowd if you will.

    Four. Yes 4.

    The other day on 70 west heading towards Eisenhower tunnel. The CB was chattering away, we saw (4) Amazon trailers smoking their brakes east bound.

    Amazing Amazon.

    guy is claiming a $7k week at Amazon. However, he doesn't show anything. If you can get passed the beard he needs to shave and the rambling. Watch away. I dunno.

    If you know what your doing you can do it. I’ve done it but then again I can’t claim it was ethical but 7k on 2k miles is achievable if you know how. You don’t have to believe it but a friend of mine with my help cleared 190k in 12 months on 60k miles.

    I wasn't implying that 7k is impossible, but rather that most guys overlook what their per mile rate is and get stuck in the more miles more mentality.
     
    LoneRanger and mjd4277 Thank this.
