    Crete knew this would happen. I'm sure Wal Mart wasn't to surprised either. Incidents like this are why WM currently strips all reefers of WM logo from units pulled by third party carriers.

    Nobody wants to drive be for these crappy mega carriers. Working for weeks on end for a $100 dollars a day. Reason I say they knew this would happen is because Cretes current DUI policy is older than 5 years. It was once a lifetime ban with 1. Then they lowered it to 10 and now 5 years. I'm assuming many other companies have done the same.

    Interesting observation....

    I wonder how this will play out in the long run, plus the new exemption for driving team with learners CDL

    If I had been that driver, when the trooper arrived, would have pointed toward the bushes and yelled, "I stopped to help, but the driver took off running that way."

    5 years is fairly standard in the industry from what I've seen.

    Arkansas will make sure that drunken lout pays a minimum of 10,000 in fines. Don't get caught down here.
