  1. Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.

Am I crazy ?

    Yeah that is wishful thinking. I had it made for about 4 years when they paid for my health insurance. Last year when the company we were hauling for dropped us things went south. They bought me a 2004 Columbia, had a tank attached to it and a new pup trailer with another tank. They trained me and helped me get my class a. The truck was repoed a couple moths ago and we had a hard time making it through the winter ( we haul drinking water and without that chem tanker running there was that much less money coming in). For a month or so I was the only driver ( down from 5 last winter )

    I know your pain!!!

    Austin has got to be the worst place I have ever been for traffic Jams and I have lived in Atlanta, LA and DC and none compare.

    At least your getting paid by the Hour and not the mile. You would be screwed then in Austin.

    I was recently home for vacation and it took us 2 hrs to get from North side to South side (less than 20 Miles) in a car taking every side/back road we could find.

    Not like it's a once in a while thing, It's every single day INCLUDING Sunday when most major city's traffic is slow.

    I will say for the most part it doesn't seem to be stupid drivers but just poorly laid out roads!!
