Charles Bowden, has got to be the most honest reporter talking about Mexico, drugs, murder, gangs, NAFTA. Juarez is labeled "the most violent city...
Sorry for you two. Hope you can get something good, whether it's trucking or not. Give Old Dominion, Fed Ex, UPS, UPS freight, ABF a call. LTL is...
Thanks. You were saying just what I was thinking. Back in the 70s, you could drive OTR and then cash out in a few short years if you were smart...
Hell! You outta run for office!
Stay local for now so you won't waste your life waiting without pay for too few loads and too many trucks. Try beer trucks, dump trucks, I'd even...
There is no "pot of gold" trucking company. It's the industry, not the company that is the problem. Too much competition and not a high enough...
If you like camping in the driver's lounge for a few days while they do mechanical work on it, then by the time you get it home to take time off...
Don't worry. You won't have her for much longer. And, she'll get the car, and the house, and the kids...probably the dog too.
I could care less about what a deer thinks. Our Western region safety man told us, "Just hit the ##### deer. Don't even slow down." Too many...

I feel your frustration here, but joining the rat race is the last thing to do if you want to preserve your sanity. I think rush hour in any metro...
Sounds more like wishful thinking than fact. I've been out here a while, and have rarely heard drivers say they were cited for improper lane...
If the cop is stupid enough to ticket someone for not moving right for a speeder, then I think that driver should just stop in the #### left lane...
I'm no auto engineer, but believe best mileage is while being in highest gear while holding rpm at peak torque. For my pickup, that's about 40mph....
There are too many drivers like this one out here. They lack any ability to look in the mirror having little if any self awareness. They...
I'm glad you note your own biases. More people should. Maybe Canada is different from the U.S.; since you mention, "efficient packing". I never...
When traffic is very light, I would think there is no issue either way. Most cars never hesitate to take any and every lane, sometimes even the...
Was a college student/crop scout/stock clerk/cashier/electrician helper/lawn maintenance man. Was looking for more money and more freedom. I think...
Hasn't truck parking always been like this? It's worse now for sure. Lack of parking wasted so much of my time and the missed meals and showers...
