    It appears that the race to the bottom is now in the home stretch.

    If you can't shift it smoothly, you shouldn't be driving it.

    sadly I think rev is right. I've seen truckdrivers advertise they would work for just enough to survive. This might work for single ppl but I have a fam to suport and .26 cpm won't cover that. Cost of living is going up and pay is going down? lol, no wonder the contry is in such a state now, we are cutting out the middle class.

    Heh, yeh, well I'll beleave that when I see it. so far it's as I expected. Lot's of talk but in the end he's like any other president, he really don't have much say or control or really more of a clue than any of them that came before him. He might be a good speaker but thats about it.

    Typical craigslist posting.
    I wouldn't trust many of the adds there as far as one could throw them.

    I tend to agree with that. I applied with several jobs that were non trucking jobs and over 90% of them were fronts so spam you or try and sell a service, lucky for me they only got my spam email account

    I saw one on the St. Louis Craigslist a while back for an OTR job advertised as paying .22 CPM CASH. Emailed them, and the dude seemed legit but good luck to the driver taking that job.

    Arguing on the C.B. is kinda like running in the Special Olympics, 'cause even if you win your still retarted.
