    As a Dallas local it pains me so much that Garmin made you go through all of those side streets just to get to I-30. It would’ve been so much easier to stay on Woodall Rodgers and merge to I-30 using I-345, especially with driving a semi truck.

      First thin first make sure that your cost per mile is loooow, (My cost per mile is 0.94cents a mile and where a team me and my wife) second this is get awaaaaay from dry van, and try to work in a open dick like i do (Flatbed) you always can make a little profit over there especially if your cost per mile is low like mine, i don't have trucking payments and i don't have trailer payments, and i have my own companie so i don't have to pay any fees to get an MC number.....and on top of all that i book my own loads me and wife, cause you never ever gonna be satisfyed whit a dispatcher job, cause he don't care and your not he's priority he have many many other trucks to dispatch for so it dosen't matter to him if you get a load paying you 3$ or 2$, but if your the one ho's booking your own loads at least you try to get the best of the best for your self

    Wow I am old and done driving. I only had a Randy McNally truckers atlas and pay phones in 1992 To get directions it was a phone call to the receiver or shipper truck stops used to have 50 pay phones. When you called for directions it was taken for granted that they will say they get trucks daily no problem. Big difference in a 25' box truck over a 53' trailer at 13'6"
    When I talk to my nephew he is lost without his iphone and gps and he is just driving around locally in his toyota car. You don't miss what you never had.

    @9:30 Why would the shipper load the truck with an oppositional facing pallet? As a forklift operator, I can tell you firsthand this drives me nuts. You can pick up pallets from the notches but it increases the chances of the pallet collapsing on itself and the chance of damaging the product. Sometimes, it's a disaster waiting to happen. That's just lazy work right there, turn the pallet around with the forks. Unless they're PECO block pallets, then it doesn't matter.
