    Hey @Guntoter! Good to see ya!

    I first went OTR about then... tickets in the 55 days were just part of the job. Not sure if I can even remember all of them, and I've got a very good memory!

    Same here. MAY 88 .. should be past 4 mil by now. Never charged for an accident, but I've had everything from a police chase ending under a new truck 89... to 2 separate big trucks "calif ga" bouncing off me , 2x totaled spinners on ice that got into me.
    Tickets? Not in the last 5 years lol. But back in the day alot of states didn't even report to my home state as long as you payed on time. Alot of Oversize , van,tanker shotgun liquid and pnenumatic dry bulk, bull wagon, 42ft otr dumps, Boat trailer Sea Rays, then after years avoiding reefers I'm in line and dealing with lumpers at these grocery holes and hate it.

    Like the rest of us, I'll bet 54 of those tickets were from the TN Highway Patrol waiting at the bottom of a hill !!

    I have three million and change. Spouse earned about 250,000 to roughly 285,000 or so. Which is really intense as a team rookie straight from school to full reefer team with much expectations on her shoulders. She did well.

    Our best month was right at 31,000. There is no reason to dig up the hours for that month. Everything was maxed out and it became a REAL problem... or actually a liability. That's TWO oil changes a month. CRAZY.

    As a single it's close to 20,000 Legal logs? hell no. And hell yes. You can argue until the cats quit cauterwauling in the night if you like. Im long gone.
