    You are one cruel and funny sob. I can imagine what you'd be like if you got in with a group that messed around and did harmless pranks...

    I suppose Dart's acronym is better than Swift... And a few others. I've never had a problem on the road with a dart driver, but I think I may mostly see o/o's.

    Pranks are harmless, even to those that are real chop busters. The company is powerless, as no damage was/is done, other than an odorific scent, which may permeate the clothing, (can you imagine the looks he got at the terminal he went to each night?). He was indeed a cigar smoker, but only once in a while. That week, he bought so many cigars, Fidel Castro could have become more so a billionaire from it!

    Then as for me, 2 things.

    1) I had all those bottles of stinky stuff

    2) the TM actually looked at me one morning when I got back at or about 6 AM, but he didn't say anything, and I truly do believe it was because that driver? Was a PITA to him as well.

    All the guys on our shift, laughed so hard each night, no one knew who was doing it. The daytime drivers would laugh as well, and sadly, the other driver of that truck who used it during the day? Refused to drive it. But someone always got stuck with it, as it became a spare each day!

    New Driver: "I'd like to drive a truck. Should I go with A: CR England, or"

    Old timer: "B."

    Seriously, you might want to take a look at Swift. They aren't nearly as bad as people (who never drove for them} say, and they recently had a major pay hike (and another about to go into effect) that puts them near the top of the starting pay scale.

    Can you do better? Possibly, but you can certainly do worse.

    If I had the experience, I would be at landstar.
    Unfortunately,if you let your license expire, or don't have any recent experience,you'll have to make a few concessions.

    you don't have drive for a company that is a bottom feeder. There are other companies out there that one can dive for to get your time in Gordon Truckin. Schnieder, conway, Haney. Are a few if you live in the southeastern us Raven trucking out of Florida. May trucking out Oregon pays 10cpm starting out then England do your homework and beat the bushes. Go to college take some business management classes to learn how to run a business before you start to lease or buy a rig before you sign a lease have lawyer review the lease and have them explain everything line by line. Make sure that the leasor
    follows the Truth in Leasing laws set fortg by the federal government. If drivers did those things we all might benefit from it.

    I stuffed limburger cheese in the truck vents of a driver that was a snitch.
    The perfume is a good idea also.
