    I see so many drivers that make me wonder how they passed a physical.

    And I see so many foreign drivers that can't speak English and I wonder how they got their cdl license.

    I must admit, on my long runs, I do like driving with my shoes off. :anonymous:

    Back to the salt mines. First world problems I know, but I hate having a brand new truck. Everything is going digidash, I hate having to scroll a screen. It's small and hard to read. And this truck is slow...

    One of our drivers is retiring today. So my start time has been bumped up and I'm sure I'll be getting some overtime now like it or not. I don't mind some overtime as it makes the check nice. Just hoping for a little work life balance. I've been getting overtime with this company ever since I started with them so it's good, 45 to 55 a week is enough for me, lol. In a perfect world 5 tens is what I like but it doesn't always work that way, just depends on the work load. Anywho humpday!

    NPR quick blurb on driver training. Mostly a promo for one specific driving school. On the one hand I see how the industry is solely focused on 160h training to pass the test and get in the chair at $50-$60k beginning salary. And that’s decent money compared to some jobs out of school. But sustainability is a big question for anyone young entering trucking, especially with a college degree.

    What is really missing is an option for one day a week/2 days a month supplemental driving like the Uber / lift model. Maybe trucking doesn’t lend itself to that very well given the need to stay current. But I think something more like that would make a lot more sense for a lot of people who like it enough to dabble but won’t last long full time.
