I never slept in a truck in my life. This "must have OTR experience" thing is fairly recent.
Dry freight and reefer is a lost cause. Most of those guys will drive a truck for free. I really don't understand them. And the "training...
You look at it all wrong. It is protecting my investment from the rate cutters.
I am so glad I have union brothers to keep the rate cutting big riggers off the job. I was working up in the Bronx when this guy with chromed out...

The word "DRIVER" isn't anywhere in this post.
It is a constant. Almost the same as the 14.7 for gasoline. Those figures are by mass and not volume. Diesels are quite a bit more flexible in...
Yeah I use the 3 dollar number for running around as a minumim. 250 mile and over kind of stuff. Local I don't want to talk unless it is hourly....
I'm thinking if this is a long term thing there has to be a provision in there to adjust for fuel prices. Just because it's down now dosen't mean...
