    Usually I'd agree, but it's somewhat sickening to see drivers start their journey as O/O or L/O by associating with a crooked co., thread after thread, Court cases even.....It just shows a lack of research on one of the riskiest endeavors one can take.....starting a new business....

    10 cpg fuel discount is garbage. That just means they are keeping the other 20+ cpg that every large carrier gets.
