I'm sure. But when your safety department says that's what they want, that's what you do. If I was wholly independent, I could do what I wanted,...
Its less on TMC, more on customer/shipper requirements. Every load I've hauled for this shipper has been tarped. I do know their coiled rod isn't...
So, yesterday I picked up a repowered load at the terminal in Des Moines. Other driver already had everything he needed pulled, so I just had to...
Bad timing on the Army's part. Was barred from re-enlistment while deployed (I didn't play politics, and mileage was taking a very noticeable toll...

Not at all, brother. I'm running about 6.7 mpg, and I was 96% sure I had the fuel to make it. But you know how companies are with wanting to keep...
So, yesterday I delivered to a Lowe's in Wichita. Sat with my clock ticking, after an hour, I message my dispatcher on the Qualcomm. Half an hour...
