    I will be letting mine lapse in January. I do not need any more holes in the head.

    After 6 years of working 14+ hrs per day and enjoying other trucking "privileges" , I just don't understand drivers (especially company drivers) jumping on the trucking industry wagon. Let the biatches burn, as far as I'm "concerned". Yup, I'm truly "upset" about not being able to put 11+14 hrs of work ($11/hr all thing considered) every day in order to grow a mega sized hemorrhoid and develop a dozen of other chronic diseases. Hopefully, government (on the behalf of insurance industry, naturally) will regulate trucking into dust, hopefully it will regulate trucking into 8 hrs work day so YOU all would GROW BALLS at some point in time instead of killing yourself to make up for the miserable pay and working conditions.

    When I read the title to this thread, I though it was going to be interesting and nostalgic.

    I was wrong.
