    So u run honest and legal all the time? How do you make money doing this? Because last time I checked everything in America is getting higher but pay..If u not cheating your log every once in a while...then you possibly can't be making any money...and by money I mean 75k plus a year

    Originally from a DIRKSTEEL POST
    One driver on this thread (not me) has a footer that reads "I don't stop when I'm tired, I stop when I'm done."

    Good luck explaining that in court.

    That's as DUMB as saying if you have a footer saying I ONLY STOP FOR MINI SKIRTS and do not stop at a cross walk and the lady heading towards it but not yet there is wearing a PANT SUIT your GUILTY

    Who says anything about running legal 100%?....That's impossible....
    How many times have drivers had to run an extra 30 minutes because of parking shortages or...
    Shippers or receivers were complete #######ess?....
    Now with Loose-leaf paper logs.....It "Looks Legal" to DOT and that's all that matters....

    This is really your view on the subject....NO truck drivers are not insecure and NO we do not worry about machines,and YES truck drivers are needed and important.
