    No good rates will be the same cameras will be in trucks watching your every move everybody will be governed at 55 mph you'll be told when your tired and when your not all the trucks will be running on natural gas which will cost as much as diesel cause the government will get their hands in on that the trucks will look like there some outer space you will only be allowed to deliver in major cities at a certain time cause of traffic so yea the future looks real good lol

    There is no future in trucking.

    And everyone knows it.

    Trucking used to be fun. Remember when it was fun? Can't even say that anymore, so what's the bloody point?

    We are entering the global age. With many jobs already you are not just competing against your fellow Americans for that job, you're competing with people all over the world. Already, a lot of hospitals send X-rays off to "doctors" in India to read them as radiology is outsourced. http://www.nbcnews.com/id/6621014/n...e-us-hospitals-outsourcing-work/#.UQs1D78dyGw

    So this is the way everything is going, it can't be stopped regardless of unions, politics, or whatever. When it comes to the CSA system do not be fooled, businesses will always find a way to go on the cheap to make that bottom line. I used to wonder how some of these foreign drivers can stay in business with their shoddy equipment, poor driving, and language skills. But they are like an army. When one gets shut down another will come and take his place. It's just like the endless number of drivers coming up through the starter companies.

    A good CSA score and record will simply be necessary, but I don't count on that to improve income or conditions for the driver any. We are like laborers in the field.

    Some things will improve like internet and technology benefits. And that is good for watching movies and playing video games, stuff like that.
