Can't even run a TV off it, never mind all that extra stuff. Nowhere to store it all, and no driver is sharing their sleeper with everyone at the Flying J.
I smell a rat, you've been talking to Wong!
CF, I can see, you don't know BRG and Wong.
And if you have 40 years experience, no accidents, no tickets, not late for an appointment in the last 5 years, your truck averages 3 mpg more than the national average, have never been put out of service in 20 years, never complain to the Dispatch, stay out 6-7 weeks, and pay all your tolls, you COULD earn up to 43 cents per mile..
Always strings attached to these pay raises....
What??!! Are you a recruiter for Coop now??
Wong wants to know if boardwalk driving is a chargeable? I know we have more than 4 of those alone.

Anybody notice the smoke at the back of the trailer?
Yone forgot to mention all the unpaid time drivers spend waiting at shippers, and consignees to load or unload being jerked around by lazy ass dock people,ignorant people in the window, their pumpers, I mean unloading service,excuses like, oh we have a 1 hour safety meeting,or, we are way behind. If trucking companies had the balls to start charging for men and equipment upon arrival, a lot of this would not happen in the truckload segment of this business.
Actually, my partner said you have appointed Donna’s nephew as truck stop liaison for coop Dispatch recruitment?
Yes. But I can't get that damn kid to wear the proper Coop attire.

More than 18,000 Freightliner Cascadia tractors recalled
https://www.ccjdigital.com/more-tha...a3c973&utm_term=newsletter-2-daily-position-2
"According to NHTSA, the brake caliper mounting bolts on approximately 18,105 Cascadias manufactured between Jan. 2, 2017, and May 19, 2018, may not have been properly tightened, which could result in the caliper detaching. This would reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash."
