    What these mega's do is wrong. This POS killed someone, so he's at the top of the class. How many of their team / trainer acts do you see at the truck stops, and they all look stressed or just have a vibe about them that spells bad cess?
    I don't care what anyone says, when it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, smells like a duck, IT"S A FRIGGIN DUCK.
    And these mega's are getting WORSE.

    Knock on wood, I have a clean record, squeaky clean. I run my nads off for months at time. Many of you guys do the same, and can say the same.

    This mega BS is just so wrong on so many levels. I hope that Almighty God balances the books on these POS.

    I said the same thing to myself after I read that to. All of a sudden that traffic control becomes a top issue for installation, and money is readily available for it to. A death for a traffic control signal installation, that just don't even sound right.

    Yep. Tired of hearing automatic truck driving, I need a microwave,flat screen and inverter in my truck( that's how I pick who I drive for) college dropouts who have to stop and put ( Gas ) in their rig ,trying to dictate what trucking is. Drivers are a dime a dozen. Truck Drivers are , or used to be somethin special.The Drivers out there These days Ain't ####.

    Point is, the guy called him Trucker as an insult. The correct insult was Driver.
