    Plus breaks and fueling and 10 hour rest.

    these trucks must be equipped with blue origin rockets.

    I know that's 90% of their problems without ever having seen a freight bill.

    Always inexperienced 0/0, they're always in a huge hurry, and always look strung out.

    "$1,558 in a SINGLE DAY? Where do I sign?"

    Later that day: "Fuel costs HOW much?"

    Appreciated the article......most particularly the bra ads.
    Amazon is a ##### and acts as such
    This is where the rouge companies come from. And you get what you get

    I agree Amazon has fallen big time this year. They use to have good loads and a CS team that would fix issues asap. Now, I have done maybe 2 loads for them in the past three months.

    they are dead to me.

    They were dead to me 2 - 4 years ago.........
    Picking up in Peoria......it takes 3, 3, people to come out and seal the trailer......seriously, 3 people. And that's if your load is ready.

    Then you deliver, and it's another science project.

    Just, no. Ok? No

    Dunno. Um, not bras. But maybe boobies. That could be the ticket.
