Seriously? Guess things are getting cutthroat

Yep ... but based on a lot of posters comments, they don't get it. It's either megas haul cheap or get $4 for every mile.

Same with service ... it's less to do with how great the drivers are and more to do with the ability to pull lanes that others won't.

 

What is the point of doing this? Are they trying to make a statement or something?

 

When I was running a a lot of I 5 Cali , Oregon , Washington GTI (Gordon trucking inc) the blue trucks were having big problems with people stealing there trailer wheels and tires. These even put out a reward if someone caught who was doing it. When I drove for J&R Schugell a qc message came across saying someone was drilling lag bolts into the sidewalls of there tires ... sad but true

 

I bite mega drivers on occasion, but I don’t really consider that as rude, or mean. I take their attempted resistance as rather boorish behavior, however.

 

Yuck! Don't they taste, uhm, somehow "different"??

 

Someone will try that chicken$#!t crap with the wrong driver sooner or later. I carry a 2' piece of #3 rebar for a tire thumper. I am a light sleeper. Try me!

 

I don’t move until I tug test every time after I stop and leave my truck even if everything looks good, I still test. You don’t know how crafty some of these idiots are.
