    Wow...seriously. I have just been left speechless at times the last few days. I do admire the willingness to make a better life. I hope it works out for everyone. Many sincere and good folks.

    One comment today sort of sums it up, "I read in the magazine at the truckstop..." That info seemed to be the extent of their awareness about what they were getting into.

    The sad thing is that if you want to learn about companies, the lifestyle, the different niches of the industry, etc, there is so much information available on sites like this and other online sources. There really is no good excuse to be uninformed in this day and age.

    This site has been a wealth of info for me, and my hat is off to all of you who have been down the road ahead of us and are willing to help us. Thanks!!

    Yes, it's called 'delay pay' and if you use your bank card there's a fee for 'early withdrawal.'

    And the morons that claim when they drive their personal vehicles the reach for the air brakes and swing wide to turn.
    NO YOU DON'T! Unless you're a retard

    Never done that. But I sometimes catch myself waiting to take a turn because there's a vehicle a half-mile down the road. :D
