    Truckers' Lagging Earning Power

    It's the same reason we are paying 3.50-4.50 a gallon.. Because we will (some of us have to. I understand that) It is the employers job to maximize profit and minimize cost. Employees cost alot. If I can get someone to accept my job at minimum wage, why should I pay more? Now, if drivers where...

    A quick "tech" related question

    I am probably a tad bit more high tech than most here because my second job is computer networks and computer repairs. I can scan, print, copy, fax, teleconference and more from the front seat of my truck. Yes. My van has a fax number ;) There are many ways to send and receive faxes on the net...

    Companies that fine drivers

    I didn't say I supported it. Just that I have seen guys do it. Still not in their defense, I'd bet a 10 ply on a steel wheel is closer to 100 lbs with the jack and tools. I still remember the day I had 2 flats and still made it to the drop in time. Spare fixed one, plug kit fixed the other. I...
