I've been out of the truck for just over a year now. Occasionally, I get a longing feeling when a truck goes by, especially if he's hauling...
After five years with JGR, I turned in the keys last May, 14th. I'd informed management that I would only be available for local runs and when I...
Depends on how you define author. I started writing over 30 years ago, but only published my first novel last year based on short stories from the...
Still with JGR. Not a lot has changed since Daseke bought us out. Well, we got a bunch of brand new trucks and trailers, but outside of that...
That would be interesting. But, you probably know as well as I, just getting two drivers in the same place, at the same time, is difficult. Many...
Depends on where you live. We only hire close to our terminals and all trucks stay on the yard, when not on the road. Starting pay is 38 cpm, with...

I drive for J. Grady Randolph. Our primary customer is Metromont, who has a plant in Bartow. They're a prestessed concrete manufacturer and build...
Talked to the company owner yesterday. Told him about my plans to move and he said he didn't want to lose a good driver and had no problem with me...
Thanks y'all. Four of those look interesting, especially Joule. thanks again.
My wife and I have decided that this past winter was our last in SC and we're going back to Florida this summer. Either the winters are getting...
Just a piss test, when I started. Haven't had a followup since.
The "brothers stepdad" part, or the 30 years with TMC part?
Chainbreaker was dead on. With a little practice, you can move the trailer axles to have a balanced load before getting to the scale. Look at the...
