    The company that I work for operates around 80 power units, give or take. I averaged $85K / year for the last two years, logging 35-50 hours per week, and home 4 out of 5 nights per week. Weekend work only if I asked for it.

    Just say NO.

    Well the boss told me today that " I suck." And handed me two Benjamins. I thanked him and said I'll try to do worse.

    Paid over 20 an hour to start and make more now. Overtime after 40. Daytime hours too.

    Paper logs

    My truck still has it's nuts.

    They pay for my food on overnights when I do them.

    Just say no!

    I can't tell if that was sarcasm or not so I just ignored it.

    Today I'm dumping my tanker into the warehouse tanks then delivering drums with a pickup. Easy money, Monday I'm doing an overnight, fill tanker in east Dubuque, dump in rock island, sleep in Des Moines or somewhere on 80, dump in Des Moines. Refill at Sioux City and drive home.

    Im really glad to see its working out better than with those big carriers. Its always good to work for who appreciates what you do and pay for it.

    Small carriers, and the people that drive for them, O/O's, are the ones that stand against tyranny & oppression.
