Good for you Steelhorse, otherwise this guy will never learn anything and continue on in ignorant bliss until something much worse happens!
It just irritated me because I leased as an O/O with Schneider for 4 years and this is the type of guy who gives their company a bad name. They have well over 50 guys with 2 million+ safe miles, and the rest are just as good. It's just the comapny has started hiring anyone to move the freight, like most companies seem to do now-a-days. It is truly a shame..... I have only been trucking for 9yrs but my father has been in this line for 40+ and my grandfather started back in '44 after he got out of WW2. i spent all my summers as a kid riding with my dad. I love my job and profession, but the good-days are long gone.

Hey I am from IL myself Just not from CHITCAGO. As far as I am concerned that whole 6 county area could fall into Lake Michigan and I would not GIVE A 48K lb LOAD OF CRAP OVER ANY OF THE PEOPLE UP THERE.

Too bad the Mexicans in Laredo couldn't see these pictures. At my customers place in Laredo, you see an American truck (or Canadian) go past doing 5mph. Then you see some beat up p.o.s. go by doing 40mph, its Mexican of course.

Back when I was driving I was refueling and getting ready to tie up for the night in Tallulah, Louisiana one night and the danged truck stop parking lot resembled the Indy 500 time trials! I nearly got clobbered while backing into a parking spot!
