Lazy truckers at truckstop

Ok, I hear you on the lazy but. I left saint Louis area at about midnight last night. I got to the TA in Cartersville GA this morning. I hit the back row for easy Pickens and got a nap. Then I walked across the back lot down the stairs across the fuel island past the shop ( 4 hour wait for a pm) and inside bought breakfast and walked all the way back looking for what I consider the best spot in the whole lot ( non paid) and I swore I would get that spot. I got a spot in the second row and watched and waited and a spot real close opened up so I fired her up and headed towards it at 5 mph (elogs). I now am 3 spots away from where I want. I have in till Mon morning to get that spot. Yes, I am that bored. So it ain't always lazy.

I know at Schneider they can take the truck to another company after 1 year. I dont know about swift but he should know because he singed two leases. One to lease the truck from the finance company and one to lease the truck to swift. It will have to be writtrn in one of the contracts he singed snd it should have been explained to him in orientation

Buying the right truck

You cant get a running 379 for $20,000. With an old truck you have to be sure you can find a company that will lease ypu on as most want trucks that ate 10 yeats old and newer. If you must buy a cheap truck get a columbia with a 12.7 or a 14 liter detroit. That is the best bang for the buck. Most 14 liters have been by- passed already as it is easy to do. Lots of them around for 15 to 25 thousand and almost anyone can work on them

I agree. I have not pulled temp box since 2000 because i hate the way they treat us. These places are still the same

Yep. This is why i dont pull temp box. It would be beneficial to to do so because i live in south florida but i haye the treatment at these places. Have not pulled temp since around 2000 and these places have not changed.

Company Lies

You can get all of that by pulling a chemical tanker. You will be treated better and paid for everything you do. most are paying about 35 an hour
