New rule: everyone who lives in a city of more than 500,000 population is hereby REQUIRED to utilize the public transportation system. The highways will henceforth be restricted only to truck traffic to supply your massive consumption. This change is necessary so that truckers are not spending all fucking day sitting in stop and go traffic while you fucktards drive to and from work in one car each when you should be on the subway or at least carpooling.

That is all.
mrbeast:
better rule, all 48 states shall stop the welfare train and divert the funding for it to a new truck only interstate system in which standard automobiles are not allowed. This shall facilitate trucks moving faster with all your stuff and make road ways safer, also the nationwide speed limit on said road will be 75 mph. unless you drive for swift, jb hunt or schnider, then you must drive with the 4 wheelers till they take your training wheels off.

It would be better still if the trucking industry converted to dirigibles. Despite their size, they would still have fewer problems with congestion owing to the volume of sky available for vertical stacking. It would also eliminate problems associated with drivers running out of hours before they could find a place to park, they would simply go on autopilot. Local delivery would still be the province of smaller box trucks I would imagine.

In any case, at the job fair today I was most favorably impressed with TMC trucking, they're all flatbed work wich you probably already know. I like them becasue you can go all over they country if you want and have a lot of power to get yourself into a good pay range if you do your job right. Noone else that I met with really could touch them in terms of having the opportunities I want. Other carriers didn't go to all 48 states, or were very local LTL deals. Trans Am has an interesting truck lease to own program but they pull all reefer units and I would like the option of having a quiet overnight at least some of the time.

TMC didn't hide the fact that working on the flatbed tarping can be dangerous and/or a pain in the ass. One of their drivers fell off his flatbed in january, hit his head and is still in a coma.

Freightlilner on tuesday was interesting. The columbia is a fine enough truck. The coronado certainly is a swank machine but it's just mostly decoration, unless you must have that 625 cat option. Today I was very impressed with the swankicity of the peterbilt that tmc brought, but the visibility was better from the cab of a kenworth. I might choose a peterbilt anyway if given the choice, owing simply to the aesthetic gloriousness of the model.

Well now I'm bracing for your destruction of my illusions about liking TMC. Fire away. Another choice could be Werner to get my first year in and then go somewhere else that pays real money. I was wondering if there might be two companies "warner" and werner. In german it's pronounced "Verner" as in Werner Von Braun. It would amuse me if I were to end up working for them to finish off my communications with "Ich fahre mit Werner veg."
