learning,

I will do the same , poor guy must be loosing his truck, anytime a rig is sitting, money is being lost BIG TIME, price of gas going up..tire`s..

Price of gas goes up, more guys loose there rig every day, if it sit`s for a day, that person is loosing money.. the repo-man...even if that truck is paid for bills are constantly building up daily....trucks like every thing else need to be replaced, hook mechanic`s out there waiting on you.

Can`t quarantee a load at your destination, sometimes that load is gone, other time`s not even a full load, each one of these scenarios you loose money, companies never pay on time..

If dispatcher`s don`t like you, they may give your load to someone else, send you on a trip with nothing waiting for you..life begans to look like a haze..

How much to fill it up........

Don`t hire a driver, they will tear up your gears, hit bad roads, have accidents, don`t show up....

Frustration, lack of sleep, trucks breaking down, taxes, bad loads....tickets, bad weather...

Great thing about it though, it will give you back what you deserve, you can tell in the personality of the depressed trucker....
