    Please for your own sake you drivers out here quit doing that otr and get a good job with an ltl company. They are by far the best. UPS, FedEx, abf, reddaway, old dominion, saia, yrc,
    and even estes.

    No, thanks. I'll take OTR any day of the week. Can't wait to hear the complaints from LTL guys. Of course, they're out there.

    Love that picture! Nothing like a container hauler that screws up everyones day. The ports of LB and LA are full of them! At least this one is going to be down for a while. The streets are safe from this one!
     
    DrtyDiesel Thanks this.

    You're only screwing yourself, but thats okay someone needs to haul the cheap freight and make cheap wages.

    To be honest i know where your coming from brother.

    I make 32cpm. I know there are better paying jobs out there in trucking. For now im enjoying getting paid to see the country. I enjoy it. But i know one day when I have a family I will want to go LTL and be home every night. Ive tried looking at places where i live but i dont really live anywhere that i could work for ltl and be home every night ya know. I really dont wanna go to a straight truck.

    But I'm happy!!:biggrin_25520:

    I have a quote for you:

    "When I was five years old, my mother told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down, 'Happy.' They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon
