This company has been paying drivers $14,000 each week, which equates to $60,000 a month, and over $650,000 a year. No matter what freight you’re hauling, it’s practically impossible to find another job that pays in the same realm as this.

I saw that. My buddy would jump on that in a heartbeat if it wasn't in S TX. I guess they haul the OS loads of windmill tubes. His wife would love it (Because he wouldn't be home).
He just got rear-ended in Indy, Thursday, I think. I think he said it was on I465. A dump truck with 60,000 of gravel rear-ended his pneumatic tanker. I didn't ask if he was loaded or not. I think he runs about 40,000 lbs of product at a time.
He called me Sunday and said he was hurting (I'm sure his wife couldn't care less). Haven't heard from him since.
(Edit) I just heard from him. He's had his mashed up trailer to E&R in Middlepoint, OH and been to the MDs that did nothing. I didn't think to ask if they checked the bolts in his kingpin or fifth wheel. I'm sure they didn't. Bidet's wonderful new Uhmerikka.
I swear, everything's broken. How can you do that in eight months?
