    well let me back up here, the safety mgr was sitting in the drivers room when I said that. Most of all If you the driver are NOT worth at least $900.00 to buy shocks ? its time to go anyway

    I think that was a bit of sarcasm about "jinx trucking".
    "Jinx Trucking" is a one truck operation that does proper maintenance on my ride. Just put new 6 shocks on my truck a few months ago at a cost of $600.00. (monroe's)
    I was making a point that profit margins are small because there are some people/companies that haul this freight for nothing, there for costs have to be cut somewhere and maintenance is usually the first to be cut.

    when was the last time you saw the bottom line profits at a corporation ?? do tell ... if you believe the old wives tale that corporations don't make big bucks on your efforts, I have a paradise island to sell you and most of all when do you think a 2005 single bunk freightliner tractor was paid off ? 3 guesses and the first 2 don't count.

    Well,I guess you should take matters in your own hands, buy your own truck and do it your way.
    I would have never drove for them anyway. 0.30 to 0.32 cpm I guess they get what they pay for.
    "wives tale" lol

    the shocks were only the tip of the iceburg there are quite a few reasons to avoid this company due to L T I trucking incompetence and shop stupidity.

    And certainly your attitude and sense of entitlement had nothing to do with it.
