I stopped driving because the company stopped giving me long hauls where I could actually make some money. What killed it was FedEx pushing for GPS in every truck. Now there’s no way to cheat the log book. And that’s the only way you can make a decent living.

GPS enabled electronic logs are now a requirement for all trucks - smaller fleets have until mid-next year to undertake the expense of installing them. I just plunked down over $200k to comply with my fleet.
