Never seen Joel ever say anything about them. He has been running the michelin tires Super Singles on his truck and the other truck has Bridgestone.

 

So, there's no shortage. Just a scam by companies to keep entry level drivers in the pipe line. New business model to have perpetually low pay. Either flush em for mistakes or if they've been around too long.

 

Go to 9mpg group and search 709zl, you will see his comments

 

Only seen one comment but no worries. It was a while back and gonna guess he would not touch them now that he loves the new tires from michelin. He has been pretty impressed with the new tech they have been telling him about coming out. Let me know how you like those tires though. Would be interested in them if they are pretty cheap. I have been happy with my Bridgestones and most likely will buy them again in the future.

 

what bridgestones do you run?

 

M760

 

FMCSA’s proposed changes include:

• Giving applicants the option to take a CDL skills test in a state that isn’t their home state
• Allowing commercial learner’s permit holders who have passed the CDL skills test to operate commercial motor vehicles on public roads, without a qualified CDL holder in the passenger seat
• Removing the requirement that an applicant wait at least 14 days to take the CDL skills test following the initial issuance of a commercial learner’s permit
• Requiring third-party knowledge examiners be subject to the training, certification and record-check standards currently applicable to state knowledge examiners

The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, which represents small-business truckers, said there is no justification for making it easier for an unqualified truck driver to receive a CDL.
“Currently, far too many new drivers are entering the trucking industry and driving on the nation’s roads without the basic skills to safely operate a commercial vehicle,” OOIDA President Todd Spence wrote in comments submitted in April. “With that in mind, we question the agency’s proposal amending CDL regulations that would weaken driver training standards and fail to improve highway safety … FMCSA should be finding ways to bolster training requirements, not dilute them.”

The market was flooded with new CDL's in the past few years, but apparently that wasn't enough for them, let's fully destroy it like they are destroying the whole country and the entire world really fast.
Yeah, the recovery is just around the corner and the future is so bright...

 

I haven’t run as much miles this year as last.

 

I remember when JB Hunt was going to put us all out of business.
