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
