    File a grievance with the Union. They’ll take care of it.

    According to one of the government agencies that tracks this sort of information, more trucking companies have ceased operations in 2019 than any other year.

    From my short experience in Driving. I would hypothesize that the problem is mismanagement. Would you people agree?

    Absolutely. For every one of them that goes under how many more manage not to. Part of owning a business is knowing how you are gonna deal with the not so good times. Doesn't matter if it's a mega carrier, single truck operation, or the corner coffee shop, they are all the same when it comes to that.

    A little after 10last night mr carrol fulmer finally shut his truck down, ending our fued. Just to be nice I finshed the song, and I had a corner spot so his truck muted the sound getting to the guy on his right, all he could was fulmers engine/fan
    Heres the last song before bed. Great sleepy time music, btw. If I had the hours, I was pumped to drive..

    Bosselmans calls the shots at Bosselmans. It's a Pilot affiliate. They started a remodel during the summer. Haven't been by since.
