    While we're talking about how " horrible" they are. They do a lot of things a lot of carriers would never think of... just to name a few
    1 provide $30 per month toward your cell phone bill.
    2 reimburse showers up to $20 per week if needed
    3 reimburse parking unlimited $amount per week,if push comes to shove and you should need to pay for a spot
    4 pay for 1 hotel per week if you want to or need to. (More than 1 if necessary with approval)
    5 Provide you with enough shirts/ outerwear that u should never need to buy any to wear while at work.
    While Ashley isn't what it was when I started. I will say, most of the propaganda garbage that they throw out is either To comply with a government mandate, or getting ahead of mandates that are to come. And yes it's garbage, but don't think for a sec that on coming mandates wont eventually be speed limiters, cameras(fwd&rear facing), auto braking systems on trucks, and etc...All of his sucks greatly, but government forced it to this point in many ways.

    Hold on a sec French Fry, I do not work for these guys but do work for a large company with a 62mph truck. We are also taught to be in the "lane of least resistance". While I understand that some of you guys have fast trucks, I also will stay in the middle lane in seriously congested areas such as I78 in NJ. I know it sucks for you guys and I usually get over to the right if there is light traffic but I have to limit the danger to me. Not to you because you are impatient.

    At least you know when to get over. I do the same thing. What pisses me off is when fast and slow trucks alike simply homestead and stay in the middle lane when there is NO Traffic, except the backup they are causing behindnthem.

    ....Especially on a left-lane restricted stretch.

    If their million mile drivers are quitting then something is seriously wrong.
