    And I think you are correct for thinking correct. However, I was wrong once.

    They should make it law that if you're caught post an instagIns pic during your commute to work and home or at your job while on the clock you have to go pay a counselor 500 dollars for useless information that most everyone should know.

    And as far as thinking it's the company not paying you what your worth or you can't make your money because of the new laws on driving time well your just a parking spot sitter and if you got your ### up and sat in the seat and done your job you would be getting great checks.

    If you want to know what is going on in the trucking industry today it's the mentality of the ####### applying for the job. They think well hell I can drive across country and not really do anything and get paid for it.
    And their whole everybody gets a trophy mentality keeps them from ever becoming real men. Because most of them can't take an ### chewing and whine about being mistreated.
    Well boo hoo .

    I laughed internally too......there have been so many guys in those days that we're going down the road high on something, getting messed up on time off, partying and living it up prior to these many regulations.. apparently that was swept under the rug. Regulations come from people screwing up
