Same here. I never drink while on the road, not even during a restart. I do drink at home, but you have to be careful. I knew a guy that was over...
I'm in the midwest. The idle % I listed for each qtr was for a full bonus. The idle max is even higher if for 1/2 bonus. A recent policy change...
My posture isn't the best in the world either. I can't imagine stooping even more. I think the smaller trucks are slightly shorter as well as...
You have some good points. But there are some bad ones too. You have to work with chemicals. You have to live in a truck with a low ceiling. I...
I don't know what idle is for a tanker. For van, idle is 5% for 1st and 4th qtrs which isn't hard with a webasto heater. 2nd qtr is 15% and 3rd is...
Which TAs?
I've delivered into a couple of caves in western MO. Hard to maneuver...and your tandems have to be all the way forward. The rock walls are...

Right. I always write down my directions and follow them instead of the GPS. But a GPS is priceless when visibility is bad or the road is not...
You have to look at a GPS as a guide. I constantly override my GPS instructions. The best way I've found to approach the problem is to respond to...
Was on an account once where I got home every weekend...it was a living hell. Takes me 1 day to unwind when I get home, and another to prepare to...
You make a good point. It depends on the loads you get (out of your control). You get a lot of live loads or short loads or bad routes, you are...
Life is about choices. If you stay out longer you make more money and see your family less often. If you stay out less you have more quality time...
SNI has multiple options available which is one of the positives of driving for a big company. Tanker division will get you more money. Dedicated...
You are right about SNI not having enough miles for people who want to run hard. I have good weeks and I have bad weeks as far as miles are...
You should be able to survive on 2000/wk. Fortunately miles fluctuate and you'll have better weeks to offset it. When you are on the road,...
