    Yes everybody has the options of "tractor" "tractor/reefer" or "reefer only" The tax rates remain the same regardless of method of payment. Theu just have no idea what they're doing and paying excess tax.

    My office told me today that all drivers are get a penny a mile raise and that I am getting an additional 500.00 bonus for my former student completing 30k miles. And our services have been extended to every 10k miles; so much more convenient.

    This is not true, some company's have the option removed. Unable to select it on a corp card, as for cash I dont know as I have never fueled that way.

    Got a good load to GA but my recaps suck this time. I will probably have to get a 34 after I deliver.

    Hung out at olive branch getting serviced. Had to wait on a new starter so I was there for 24 hours. Vendor was slow as hell getting it out there. In Atlanta for fuel and on to Rincon. I wasn't planning on driving all night but feel froggy so I may as well do something.

    I went empty back to Atlanta and after several cancelled loads I am waiting until tomorrow night for a load. I will get my 34 and hopefully run hard to make up for the holiday slow down.

    Labor day weekend can be a Bish! plain and simple. Loads that were thought to be good go bad or the customer that was supposed to be open ends up being closed. This and memorial day weekend I just stay at home.

    Well...Phoenix called and made me give up my good empty to another driver who had been rejected. I opened his trailer and it was filthy, the chute was hanging down on one side, and it had a lot of ants in it. I was like, what the hell am I supposed to do with this? I hooked up to an out of service trailer I saw that is missing a turn signal. I will take it to Petro tomorrow to have that fixed. This one is filthy too and below a quarter of a tank. Does no one care anymore?

    Its the culture that is coming into this industry, along with the scraping of the bottom of the driver pool. Phx is already set to block on my phone, one to many calls at 3am.
