A good amount of trucking is just plain luck. Most truckers who've driven enough miles have gotten dings and have come across dongs in uniform....
First option- If not under load, ask for some down time [personal issues] and take the trailer to a repair shop and have it repaired without...
Done. Thank you sir. Address is still El Paso, TX but I'm going to be based out of Dallas, TX.
Do you have a waiting list for drivers? I'd put my name in the hat for a spot out of Dallas, TX.
This has been the case in Chicago since November '22.
Just the ones that take advantage of their drivers. I would say the practice is common in certain areas of the country and certain cities. It's...

Ah, gotcha. Sorry for the misunderstanding. There are even percentages of fault in Canada? That's a much better system. For commercial license...
