    I've heard from many companies that complain there's a shortage of drivers.

    What do you think?

    I have noticed that drivers keep getting shorter and shorter as the years go by, not as many tall ones these days. Buffet food perhaps?

    I've seen bakeries in truck stops. Now a Bakery in a truck stop, is like a drug store in a halfway house. It just doesn't belong.

    I know so few drivers that actually make 50k a year. Most seem to be making 400-700 a week.
