Trucking under Democratic or Republican Government
Some Democrats push more extreme environmental laws and penalties which impact drivers. What if the laws passed in California are made nationwide?

Didn't leave in a huff bud, just was wondering l. Im still tnt. For every horror story there's a good one. Thanks pj since you were lease its easier to understand.
I'm just anxious thats all, I'm ready to go solo, driving and dealing with shippers and relievers not that bad. ( only thing I got to get used to is the waiting which I am) wish they were all drop and hooks lol.
I decided to go company for awhile. I need to take advantage if primes dental and insurance, even though the cost is crazy for a single person. Prolly just do my year or alittle more,then get a yard jocky job or somthing local. Unless I can get lucky and gran a regional from prime,but till then just going to learn and keep enjoying it.
I should just be proud, not many people make it this far.
I see you watched one of my videos. This one discusses $10k negligence fees that most lease ops dont know. And how they are responsible for the freight.
Yeah I did i knew it already, one of the things that us making me go company, why rush. Someone said make your mistakes ( non serious) on company dime

I apologize didnt mean to act like that. I decided to just go company. I don't know why I wanted to rush things learn the buisness before anything. But my dream is to own my own truck one day, but cannot do that with no financial capital or little experience. My kids are almost of age. Im 43 now as long as this economy dont crash to dystopia measures I can drive as long as my health would allow.
I'm just excited and anxious. Most my life due to my choices I made, I been down and out,just happy somthings working out.

My story
No I had to leave prime inc due to family issues. But I'm driving for universal logistics. I pickup up general motors parts from battle creek Michigan and Holland michigan and deliver to fort wayne indiana gm plant. I alternate my days, battle creek one day Holland next. I'm home every day and paid by the hour which is way better than by the mile to me.
