    There are laws against bullying drivers, problem is MOST COMPANIES VIOLATE IT DAILY!!
    The business model of most companies RELY ON EXPLOITING DRIVERS. THEY CAN'T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO RUN LEGAL AND IF THE RULES WERE ENFORCED 100% OF THE TIME, THEY WOULD GO OUT OF BUSINESS!!!

    Of course the way the SUPERTRUCKERS carry on, they would make it illegal to for a driver to turn down a load!!!

    Do you drive a semi? ..and why are you making assumptions? I don't remember him saying that he "screwed up his first break".

    Why are all the pro-Abers non truckers and all the anti-Abers truckers? Could it be that they see a little of themselves in Abe?

    These unprofessionals are afraid to stand up to their dispatchers.
