I spoke with the COO of my carrier last night. We had a long discussion on the state of things. They are struggling with drivers who left in the last year. They are rushing newbies through the CDL maze made more difficult by the hazardous load requirement. They are not getting any help from the automatons at the home office of Pritzkanistan. The more I hear the more I think this is a concerted effort of the cabal against any thing and everything petroleum. If you are a capable and productive driver for my carrier you will make $125,000-$160,000. Given the cost of living up here it’s livable but for fuck’s sake.....I know multiple people who would kill it for that coin. The powers that be are making it really tough to get that license. Mother fucker!!
