Worth noting this is EXACTLY the same argument living wage advocates employ.
When people complain that raising working class wages will drive up retail prices activists invariably respond that the C-suite and investors can simply not extract so much money to cover the difference.

Campaign #34 is in the books. Got some of those long loads I like (San Antonio to Minneapolis; St Louis to Denver). Made good money this go-around. Trucking volume and rates appear to be picking up just in time for summer.

If I'm reading this situation correctly the son/daughter and spouse of a Schneider driver brought his granddaughter to the truck stop to get some hang time with Poppop in the lot.
He adores her; can't stop smiling at her.

Fucking company tried to get me to haul a heavy load from Laredo to Oxnard in 3d for $1/mi.
Predictably I called bullshit on that.
Now I'm hauling 10k# of fancy-boy Starbucks food from San Antonio to Minneapolis for a rate that at least hits my Mendoza line ($2/mi).

NOTE FOR NEW CDL HOLDERS:
The guy who completely blocks a busy yard to open his trailer doors instead of laying up perpendicular to the docks and doing it before beginning to maneuver?
Yeah, rookiebro. Don't be that guy.

Last night I encountered two flatbeds from Duran Trucking of Garland TX side-by-side at the fuel pumps.

Can any rightist/republican point to any positive outcome of the years of Republican 'leadership'? Anything? Trains run on time?
Rightist governance has turned this state into a rival for Mississippi as 'shithole of the Union.'
Prove me wrong.

When I was a kid growing up along the Atlantic flyway I remember seeing duck/goose migrations numbering in the multiple hundreds. Enormous, seemingly endless chevrons.
Haven't seen anything like it in probably 30y.
It worries me.

So fucking stoked for the next season of Dark Winds on Netflix I kinda can't see straight.
The series is based on Tony Hillerman's Leaphorn-Chee detective novels, all set on the Navajo/Diné reservation. So thorough and sensitive...so gripping and engrossing.
You should watch the series, my dudes.

Usually run 0300-1300. Had an overnight tonight. Pulled into a mom & pop truck stop I like about 20mi from my 90 and found one beautiful perfectly unblockable spot.
Now I know how my preferred schedule amounts to a blessing for other weary drivers.
Biscuits & bed.
