I suspect fuel costs and lack of goods to be shipped may be a factor.

Jimmy Hoffa and his pals, both in gummint and the rackets are the real issue with trucking companies.

Since the inception of satellite tracking systems, the over the road driver is the most controlled human worker since Lincoln freed the slaves.

I really feel for those folks that drive the 18 wheeler rigs.

My son just left the OTR company he was driving for and is applying for other trucking jobs. Hopefully this won’t hurt him much.

The electronic oversight was bizarre. They called him out for idling too much but also told him it’s ok to idle all night to stay warm.

I frequently use a trailer for my job and have to log my travel, A DOT cop told me I needed an electronic log. Big brother is watching.
