They had a better offer than Transport America?

Would’ve been cooler if it was 01 desu
Ayy we grainguy nao
Better than many, but super fucking uptight. Yes on the driver can, must also be clean shaven and wear Averitt uniform any time you step out of the truck, including when parked for the night at a truck stop. One big upside they have is their own network of many terminals with ample parking, shops, cafeterias, showers, gyms, free laundry, etc. Not bad if you can tolerate being a company branded drone.
Be sure to holler at me on the CB if you notice I’ve got a light out as I’m passing you. Kek
Won’t lie I’ve parked in a center turn lane so I could walk into Menards and buy two cases of root beer, on more than one occasion.

It's still Transport America, I just felt Trans Am Balam rolled off the tongue better
I'll be sure to get a CB and yell at every passing truck if they're Gundam

What different niches in transportation has the most understanding shippers and receivers?

I started out hauling lumber. The mills didnt give a fuck about the truckers. They would take the cheapest scum while it lasted until they went broke instead of giving a good dependable driver steady work at an average rate.

I'm now a dump truck driver. I've mostly been hauling sand and gravel from a quarry to a new stock depot they've acquired. I know the quarry pays tandem axle dump trucks $75/hour cause I see the receipts every day I turn into my boss. While in the large break room at the scales one day I overheard a guy coming in asking for work and the guy that manages the place said absolutely. Were hauling gravel out this week to the depot. The guy asked what drivers were charging and then he said he would do it for $50/hour. The guy told him to "get the fuck out I just asked if you could haul some gravel not work for niggers pay"

Thats the type of field id like to stay in if I ever became an owner operator, but dump trucking is extremely boring and uncomfortable.

Are there any other niches where people actually look out for the drivers best interest instead of trying to save a dollar? I was thinking hauling in agriculture would be a good field.

These burgers are gonna make me so fuckin' fat.

I don't know why I didn't make that connection. Eediot.

>That sweet triple double
Those burgers looked heart stopingly tasty.

>root beer

I'm an indie root beer fanatic.
In Texas on i-20 The truck stop attached to Texas best smokehouse carries a ton of them, out west Smith's (grocery store) has a fuckton, plus a made to order sushi bar.

Pic related, no clue why it turned sideways

Hopefully you'll have more time for leafposting. Where in Alberta thereabouts?

>Mother of god, my digits

Cooking is one thing I absolutely slay at. One of the only things I paid attention to in scouts/school (as well as woodshop, I learnt to build some kickass things, like a coffee table with an inbuilt chess board)/life in general.

My partner loves it, reckons he's spoilt with homecooked meals. Those burgers are most certainly on my to-do list.

Everything kills ya these days, i'd rather it be a burger than poisonous snakes.

>are we still talking about my stuffed bacon wrapped burgers?

I did those in the pic on a smoker. I recommend a grill so the bacon gets crisper. If it's medium like I generally like it's a pain in the ass to eat wrapped. Pic unrelated.
