Sound familiar, guys?
It's just so predictable now to read these postings by people who feel good about trashing others.
Yup, it's a jungle out there, just barely moderated by those wiggly yellow lines, late at night.
"What Happened and What's Wrong" with this industry (my title) is that people have no respect and Christian love for one another, being willing to give the other fellow the benefit of the doubt, and ONLY LOOKING at his own pocketbook, ONLY LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER ONE. So if somebody goes broke, loses his truck, loses his home, goes berserk, takes too many prescription drugs to help his depression, and ends up killing himself, his wife, and his children -- well, he's just a loser -- he's not a good businessman -- the industry is better off without the dead weight.
Trucking Companies have no monopoly on this problem. LEASING AGENTS, DISPATCHERS, RECRUITERS, and COMPANY ACCOUNTANTS/ LAWYERS/INSURERS - will conspire to double-cross and lie to the driver.
They have no scruples.
But FELLOW-DRIVERS will do the same thing today.
Any cursory look at the Avatars on this messageboard, let alone the macho outfits worn by men and women in the truckstops, show that virtually everyone has 'bought into' the savage, brutal, crude, tatooed, metal/rap culture which has been marketed across America to deliberately destroy the soul of this country.
What you reap you will sow.
Excuse me?
THAT is a rebuttle to the well thought out observations of such benign business men as no-worries, etc? It seems, I believe, that you go off on contemporary culture, and supposed character flaws of the trucker populous and don't speak to any of the points.
