Try it and find out. You don't need to be involved in an accident to be tested for drugs. What about a random or pre-employment drug test? I average about one random every two years. More often if someone at my carrier reads my posts here. Marijuana is considered a controlled substance by...

Weed isn't legal. Some states yes, but not federally legal. THC can be stored in the body and detected as long as a month after using.

At least one of his Transits is a T-150. Must be on a dedicated airfreight contract.

That and if he is deducting fuel expenses for tax purposes.

They're former Alaskan fish factory workers, what do they know?

I like the flavored tuna in single serve envelopes. I mix in a little Miracle Whip or hot sauce from Taco Bell, spread it on a tortilla, add shredded lettuce or mixed iceberg salad and roll one up. One of my new favorite tunas is the beans and rice mix. Tortillas also make a good PB & J...

Do you pay your drivers by the mile or percentage.

At grocery houses it is more than not getting paid detention time. You do their work. You can have a trailer load of one item, wrapped, on 4-way pallets and have to knock off two or more layers. Or knock it all down and put it on small wood. That's just for a load all one item. Most loads...

Once you have been to one grocery house you will know what to expect from all the others. Sure there are some minor differences like pallet codes, block layout, break times, etc. Just expect to get jacked around and waste a day and you will do just fine. Grocery house dock workers are like...

I don't need an app to know that if I deliver to a grocery house or load at a packing plant I will get jacked around.

Please continue with your research. You may find that McDonalds pays at least minimum hourly wage, uniforms and other benefits for full-time employees. Employees are free to go home after their shift. Employee discounts for meals while working along with the added benefits of grease for one's...

Minnesota had a budget surplus of $1.5 billion for 2018. One of the newly elected governor's campaign promises was a .10/gallon increase in the gasoline tax for road improvement. Hate to use a surplus for road improvement when a tax increase can accomplish the same results.

Around and around it goes, where it stops nobody knows. I will report back when when my number gets called. Perhaps, but Panther's van fleet is non-CMV. As such we vanners are subsidizing the rest of the fleet for FMCSA, IFTA etc. compliance oversight.

It sure makes for pretty television graphics showing the U.S. map with reds states here and blue states there.

100 less cargo vans is a decent start.

I agree! But well after the fact.

You are certainly welcome cool! May we call you cool? This is an expedite freight site, but many of us have been involved in T/T truckload. and other trucking related occupations. You have shared some personal info and asked specific questions, which many newbies don't. So keep asking us...

A handful of O/Os traveling 100 miles at minimum posted speed through Illinois isn't really a show of strength and solidarity. Sure it will make the local and regional news, but that's as far as it will get. For nation wide exposure to the cause I suggest all truckers sport MAGA hats, MAGA...

Not trying to scare you off but trucking can be physically demanding. Even sitting on your butt all day takes a toll on your health. Loading and unloading a trailer by hand may be a good aerobic exercise but not so good for the back and shoulders. If you can afford to quit your HAVC job give...
