    Wow, it can be confusing. But I reckon the key word is "sold" isn't it? It is all about money.

    I use statistics bud. Don’t care what niches offer or who made what where.

    Averages = most, not a few = most.

    Taking swifts $917 per week x 52 = 48k
    Approximately 3200 hours per year.
    $15 per hour.

    that’s fast food money.

    US Bureau of Statistics
    Heavy and Tractor-trailer Truck Drivers


    And this next image is from swift directly.

    trucking is a entry level job. Yea you can work your way up to other niches but you can do the same in fast food as well.

    not sure the amount of illegals that crossed the border 20-30 million ? One may have a better than average chance on guessing they're illegal than legal.

    Reefer is part of my religion rules say i cant use they're tramplin my constitutional rights to practice my religion. Or are they protecting travelers from a hi driver ? A requirement to read write and understand english is a safety matter too i would think.Also should be enforced b4 youre allowed to haul 80k down the road at 67.99mph . Btw its a governed truck .

    Jorts would go a long way to improving our image. Between that and posting your truck you will not have to turn a key for less than 3 bucks per mile.
