That's awesome breh. So I'm guessing John Deere getting parts from overseas and you haul the parts from the ports to the warehouses?

I guess it's something like that. I just know whenever we go to the ports we're either bringing in empty containers or loaded ones or picking up empty ones or loaded ones (sometimes both at once).

John Deere is pretty big. Like multi multi-billion dollar.

Interesting, why do you think the Trucker shortage is bullshyt?

I see alot of Trucking owners/companies begging for Drivers to come haul freight for them

Turnover is high. There are openings all the time because they want people to work for pennies on the mile.

Yeah and our daycabs are governed at 70 mph as opposed to the standard 65 you normally get.

I just got a 2022 Freightliner assigned to me last week. Bring the keys home with me.

You get to go 70 mph & they are fine with you taking the keys home?? Damn, my drivers could NEVER!!

You gotta big dawg it with A nice 53ft step deck trailer… You can get about 4 to 5 picks on there.. one pays for your fuel and the other 4 picks is your profit…

Having a Semi pretty much opens everything for you.
