i knew it wuold be just a matter of time before someone came on here and said pretty much "if you drive for a big company, you're not a real truck driver."
LOL....i'd like for those 'real drivers' to be allowed to not worry about the 70/8 rule, and then keep tabs on how many end up in jail, like Alvin Wilkerson because they fall asleep at the wheel. How can it NOT be about money, when those kids of drivers, i.e. the ones who have to cook their log book because they want to stay running, they do it because they dont want to sit? It can't be just because they love to travel and love the scenery. it is because they have child support, allimony or the wife/home needs a paycheck. All but 3% of the drivers out here are out here because they want to earn a good paycheck. lol...dont tell me 'it isnt about money'. You actually took me serious ? Jeeeez

did he not say "real truck drivers dont have qual-comm's..." seeing how most major carriers carry them(if not all)....my statement is pretty much on target. but seeing how he was just playin'....makes it a moot point anyway Last edited by Kevin0915; 12-12-2008 at 10:50 AM.
