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?

I'm not the badass that I'm made out to be. Geeze, shoot one guy in the face that was trying to kill me.
I try to be a nice guy. I've got a ten year old girlfriend that I've laid off $95k to her trust. Her single father isn't complaining much. I knew that was gonna be a handful, but Nana (on his side) is helpin'.
Got yum-yums at the store today for her, meat was kinda outta the question.

LOL, talk to the FWPD. I had to call the desk sergeant to have a boot dispatched to make a report and get a control number after the garbage men ripped out 40 foot of my chain link fence. Four squad cars showed up, two took tactical positions with their M-16s out front.
The Fort Wayne desk sergeant's number is Two Six Oh 447 one Two 2 too. Call 'em up kiddo and let them know I'm not a killer anymore. LOL!
