I saw a video of someone complaining about the HOS and how the government makes you drive after 10 hrs off. Not true at all. You drive when you are ready, not before. Grow a backbone and tell your company you need sleep.

I recently read an article about an Uber driver who was complaining about the amount he received for taking someone to the airport. OK, so what? Just like in trucking, he continues to take people so they continue to pay him the low amount. If you sit around without getting paid, don’t complain. Action is the only way. Let your fingers do the walking and find a better place. The reason trucking companies pay so little is because people accept the pay. You don’t get what you deserve, you get what you accept.

I am sick of these different pride months. When does it end? This month is disability pride month. You should not be proud of something you are. You should take pride in something you do. An accomplishment. A victory. If you were born a certain way, that is not something to be proud or ashamed of. It just is. Plus, you don’t need a flag for everything!

An accident where a driver is killed is headed to court and I agree. Please do not park in an unsafe manner no matter what the circumstances. If you are not parking in a legal spot leave your parking lights on. That could have saved this person. Safety first no matter the company rule.

Sunset Logistics abruptly shut down and left drivers around the country without a working fuel card. While I understand these things can happen, they knew full well what was going on. The same week they had no money for payroll they had four new hires getting started. This to me shows a lack of integrity that is so prevalent in the country today.
