    The big companies are retarded to work for with all their “safety ########” Fake s#it made up to give useless people jobs...... If you can drive and not complain and work hard you can make lots of money driving in Canada, until elogs come in next year or 2020 their pushing the legislature now so fight it now before we lose any freedom we have left.....

    I once had CBSA in Kingsgate, ask me "why are you a truck driver" "cause I got laid off from my career, and I enjoy it" "we think you should be in jail..." "......D:"

    I also had an officer in Sumas ask me "So why did you come back?" "Because they wouldn't let me stay" "well you shouldn't have" "......D:"

    The red KW on north side of road. I followed for a bit. The truck was only travelling about 50km but kept getting into serious wobble. You’d swear lead trailer was empty. I did not see it happen. I waited for passing lane to get by him. Saw truck in ditch next night. He lost it shortly after I passed. So he was eastbound and piled it up after crossing westbound lane.

    I didn't bother renewing my medical, I've given up on trucking for now, it's ridiculous. Constantly forced to operate vehicles that should be out of service, forced to violate HOS, cheated on pay. Lied to about there being work when there isn't. There are guys that do well, no doubt, but there are a lot that just throw their hands up in the air and leave it.
