    You just need drivers strapped with debt.

    Nope. A guy strapped with debt didnt get that way by being stable with good decision making skills.

    ok...you go with that.

    it's called "refusing to work", and will get the young single guy fired.

    the married man has MORE responsibilities, and the company likes/appreciates that more than a flagrant single guy.

    let us know the next time you refuse a load, and how it is waiting in the unemployment line, cuz that reputation will follow you, making you in a way....BLACKBALLED

    and with that attitude, an accident/ticket, incident is imminent....not IF...but WHEN....

    I've been living my way since I started in this business. And I've accumulated 700,000 plus miles with zero accidents and zero tickets. In the beginning I had a couple piddly DACcidents, but those were long ago. And on top of this, I've not quit that many outfits. I've worked for maybe 8 over 23 years. That's good today. One needs only to research and talk with drivers. And, the past 10 years or so, come here to this site. Those have worked for me to keep me away from the spider webs.

    then you have NOT accumulated 700,000 accident free miles, no matter how long ago, you had them. accident free means from day 1.

    sorry, but you got a broken record.
