    If you are looking to haul cans out of the St. Louis area I see Jung from Mascoutah IL, pulling cans every so often. They also pull plenty of other stuff, may be a good place to work to get extra experience if thats what you are looking to do.

    Only 2 oos? More than 20% of brakes failed and an air leak. Is the fuel leak oos also? Anything else?

    To be fair, #4 and #5 axles are the trailer, unless he has more than 3 on the truck obviously, so the chassis prolly got hit hard as well. But then it's not too often they don't. Heh. What really cracks me up is the no turn signal violation.

    Thanks for the tip, kind of eye opening, Jung Express pays $15 hr and 32k a year. I guess that’s the trade off for M-F, days. But like you said, it would be good experience, kind of like paying them for training in that sector. I was thinking about Hub also. But if their pay is comparable I may be barking up the wrong tree.

    I delivered 2 empty 20’s to a Memphis container trucking company. They had a wall of shame of 300+ point inspections on the wall.
