Looks like FedEx is cracking down on drivers! Like it.

NASCAR is dumb. The racing is awesome but the organization is dumb.

They can pass it but I am willing to put money down they will never enforce it.

So both the Synagogue ramming and Old Dominion University shooting are confirmed to be terrorist attacks. Insane. Also the students at OD stopped the terrorist, by killing him…without a firearm… weird times

I’m thinking of going up to MATS for a day trip. What day should I go?

Well, I took almost 2 weeks but today the world learned that this Driver was also here illegally

Some heroes wear capes — Chief Aaron Edwards wears blue.

@AmYankees @supertrucker I would be interested in seeing those numbers. Unless your customers suddenly increased their rates by at a minimum, 10% in the past week, it is just not possible. Rates have not increased that much versus what they were according to like a dozen social media posts

@steveoatley @supertrucker I have my own authority

This is just dumb. Whether people know it or not, this is gonna lead to a rash of trucking bankruptcies unless something happens to bring fuel way down, guaranteed

@AmYankees @supertrucker Under your authority or you are leased on to a fleet getting a FSC?

@steveoatley @supertrucker 42 years as a trucker sir at 7.8 mpg I’m making 50% more profit than I did a week ago

@Vertzy24 @supertrucker huh?

@steveoatley @supertrucker Ah must be company steering wheel holder

@PJLTBD @DoodlesTrks Those are not the companies that will be impacted first. It is the mom and pop companies.

@steveoatley @DoodlesTrks I DGAF if Wingstop, Dollar General or Walmart suffer

I am guessing you are not a trucker by this comment. Sure, larger companies have a fuel surcharge table they go off of, that will eat up some of the increase, but that is typically for contract freight. Small companies, the ones working off the spot market, do not have this luxury and rates are not up as high as they need to be for a truck to operate. I will explain. Fuel was $5 a gallon at this location. For a truck that gets 8 mph (if they are lucky) thats a cost of .625 for their fuel alone. With average costs to operate being around $2.26 per mile on the low end, add the difference of fuel that bumps the coa to 2.36-2.4 or more. Now look at the national average dry van for the week which are sitting at $2.42 per mile. See the problem there? The national average dryvan rate only includes LOADED miles. The COA for a truck is essentially the same regardless of whether they are loaded. They lose money.

@steveoatley @supertrucker Trucking companies and o/o make a much better profit when fuel prices are high.

I get that the ground control is important but I wanted to see a brawl

Is paramount down?

@NateTheTBC Yeah I am not sure. I was hoping Jones or something legendary. This is not a legendary card!

@steveoatley I wonder what fight fell off the card last second that people are talking about, but even then I don’t know if it would’ve been saved

The UFC card for the White House fight was release and it is dumb.

This is insane. They just stopped a terrorist attack in NYC! Man seen lighting a BOMB on camera. He threw it at Anti-Muslim protesters but it did not explode. This is America now. .
