Not that I'm not in a rat race with steel, I would turn in my CDL before pulling a van OTR. Guess I'm a spoiled local driver LOL. Sadly cheap rules all, and the brainwashing from schools and learn to drive programs is terrible and then the quiet yes men that take every load they are handed (as a result of mileage pay) I just don't understand getting stroked and poked by some jerkoff in a cubical somewhere, I worked for one large co. and even then was protected by a decent agent and younger also. Took my truck left that and vowed never to work for a large co. again, I like then kick the office door in and go toe to toe with the owner kind of setup, not that I have ever done that it's nice to know where that door is at. I feel for coworkers of yours, my friend is a teamster and lives with that threat every few years.
