    well it can be frustrating to sit and watch others come and go. How much pull they think you have really? I think what you are seeing is how to treat customers and what might come from it. be a jerk, well driver, how about you sit and think about that for a bit......

    I dont care how frustrated someone is over their situation. Regardless there is no reason to confront someone else about your problems. Happens to everyone. Pretty sad when the spotter comes after that driver and says hes been crying about the same issue. Only thing im going to "sit and think about" is how sad it is a man more than twice my age allows something like that to get him so rattled and almost try to make it seem like its MY fault. Please.....

    Now imagine if one of the drivers took the time to get out of their truck and say something like "thats not fair."

    and I'll tell him welcome to the trucking business where everybody gets cheated. I have a friend who work the docks, tells me how annoying it is when the driver comes over and over asking for an updated. once or twice is okay but every 15 minutes is pushing

    Me either I just take off when needed. Aug going camping but that's just a Fri-Mon deal. The cruise will be my first vacation ever since I started driving back in in the early nineties. 10 days of nothing but drinking and visiting different countries.

    I might take a few weeks off in August or September. That's my one year anniversary date. Pretty sure I'm moving on, but we'll see. I want to buy a Motorcycle and ride around the whole radius of the US. 11,000+ miles I believe. One of those bucket list items

    Just wondering but I've been noticing that I always seem to get passed by solo company trucks when I am cruising at 60. Could my tach be off slightly?

    They could be just over speeding, some drivers don't care about bonus. Or it could be team trucks. Not all trucks are set the same either. One guy on our account when he has the cruise on is about 2 mph faster than me with mine on.
