    He's implying false logs. Your log book shows you're on a 10 break in Little Rock,AR at the same time you have a wreck in Amarillo,TX. I ran false or two log books most of my career; not bragging, that's just the way it was. Discovered could make the same money on Elogs with proper time management and not worry about prison and lawsuits and ruining my health.

    No he has no clue. He rates outlaw trucking at 5 outta 5. I described the scenario to him, so he might think, but it didn't happen.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    I'm too green to even know what outlaw trucking is. They never taught me what outlaw trucking was at school.

    Yeah, I'm still doing my 1st year with USA Truck and as Chinatown said trailers can be hit or miss but looks like that's with every big company that does lots of drop/hook. They had me up to .37 after 6 months and I'm averaging around 2700-2800 miles a week for otr (did about 5-6 months dedicated). I had 13' Cascadia but got me into a brand new Prostar a few months ago. All trucks have a APU which is nice. Pretty much as long as you do your job, you don't have much interaction from the office. There are fuel stops planned but if you can come up with a better route, just call and get it changed. Also, just found out trucks will be turned up to 65 and a pet policy put in place. Also, USA no longer deals with C1.
    I don't have anything to compare it to but after reading some stories on here, I can say I could've done much worse.
