Thanks. I appreciate it.
Actually, my Navy recruiter was more truthful to me than ALL of the trucking recruiters that I have dealt with.
You should have read the whole thread. A comparison to unrelated topics is a common analogy to the "OH WOW!" factor. Had you read the whole thread...
Unfortunately, this is the mindset that demonises cops as a whole. To be sure, I have encountered cops on the road who it would have given me no...
I know plenty of truckers with college degrees. I even met a trucker who is a member of MENSA. I have a four-year college degree myself which I...
Best of luck in your crusade.
I do not disagree that there are some jerk cops out there. I've encountered a few that it would have given me great pleasure to plant a Tony Lama...
The long litany of your excuse is irrelevant. If you mouthed off to a police officer (off-duty or otherwise), you got what was coming to you. A...

Well, here's the stats I found: Source: U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety & Health Administration...
Fitness, Hygiene, and Diet on the Road Based on its research, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) says that obesity in trucking...

I can't offer an "inside scoop" except to say that a friend of mine who is a former Crete employee now works for Raven and has nothing but good...
