    Shi-ite! I stopped being new my first week out, then. I've also helped a lot of other drivers leave the 'new' status behind, I reckon.

    I was hoping there’d be a ceremony where I’m presented a chain wallet.

    Dream crusher.

    If you need a chain to keep up with your wallet while driving a truck, then you’re not there yet.

    Well...where am I supposed to put all this money I make as a company driver after cash advance fees? My bank requires a minimum balance of $100 or they charge me a monthly fee. I mean who has more than $100 in their bank?

    I guess it’s time you step up. Ever thought about lease purchase?
