    What is a "Supper Trucker"?

    Is that a driver who works for his supper?

    Well, there were a lot of drugs in the beginning of this story. Kind of expected it to take that kind of turn. Still wonder if there's maybe not something festering there for some reason.

    But the wreck really is all you need to make yourself ineligible at most companies in this economy. There have been many similar threads and the advice is always to seek some smaller operations, like an O/O who owns a few trucks and might take a chance on you if you make a good personal impression. You could also try going to back to CRE. They just might take you back, really.

    You could also try getting some local job, that would probably pay a lot less, like driving a box truck. But if it comes down to it, you're going to need to do something eventually. Good luck.

    Couple of rib eyes, fresh corn on the cob, squash from the garden and a dogfishhead 60min IPA clone beer that I brewed. Its on the grill now. I am definitely a "Supper Trucker" with the waist line to prove it

    No "supper trucker " here.......but, in my investigation from said story, and being a new driver with a roll over in your short career, can you repeat after me, "would you like that super sized"?

    So it was the black pick up truck that caused the roll over......not excessive speed?.......kind of sounds like that famous deer that keeps jumping in front of trucks.
