    Thank you god.
    Finally somebody slowed down these reckless
    Ram rods. I no longer have to fear for life when I
    See a FedEx truck in my rear view mirror.

    Well, here is loads I had few times a month , 20151115_101811.jpg 20151202_142243.jpg Message_1453207946307.jpg
    Is it possible to do it in 65 mile truck? Well ON PAPER YES, but I can't count how many times I was stuck in traffic, construction zones,etc, and now with ELD you have to find parking lot in a middle of a night (gl with that), I was on paper, and that was only 1 reason why I was taking this loads.

    They haven't even approved that. They had a meeting in Chicago about it but nothing conclusive. And if it does happen, it will take a year to be enforced. That's just your contractor lying to you!!! Hehehe

    Look on the positive side think of all the Diesel fuel you'll be saving and in the long run you'll be well practiced for when you transfer over to Swift Transport.
