    I'm glad ure none of those! It just seemed that way from how u responded, especially the 'trying to live' comment, but I stand corrected. You be safe out here too!

    No sir, trucking doesn't work by seniority. Many would agree with me that it's trending towards 'the cheaper the better.' Just read many threads on this website regarding the topic. This most certainly is the case with the so-called "bottom feeders"

    friend of mine drove 2 years with May, from what he posted on Facebook at the time, he was consistently running more than 1,000 per load.

    Over here loads are given FIFO, first in first out. If you are empty near the end of the day you get the leftovers.
