    That is a good idea. No matter what rest areas are not free and need to be paid somehow. Remember a few years ago when all the rest areas in AZ where shutdown due to budget restraints?

    Yep. The one on 60 when you go into Wick was closed every winter because it got turned into a sudo homeless shelter.

    You think it's bad now? Wait until the ELD mandate kicks in....

    Just keep fingers crossed Trump trashes, or amends it.

    If not, these local gigs gonna be hard to give up.

    67th ave is just a cluster that I stay away from. Notice how much easier it is to drive down 59th ave now that the Liberty and Danny's is bulldozed down!

    Your boy hung onto Liberty until the last second.
    I think when the excavator came through the window, he finally said ok.
    That's the same guy that owns Liberty trucking. You can definitely make some coin leasing on with them. They do short and long haul refer that pays percentage.
    He's got a couple dollars saved up.
     
    Bakerman Thanks this.

    Perhaps a tax% based on the numbers of trucks each carrier has.

    Or just a flat tariff on each truck. Tax probably work better by state like IFTA.
