Listen up folks, it is gettin’ real close to condition critical when it
comes to profit margins and makin’ money with a truck right now. I
wish we could all keep actin’ like it doesn’t matter - we’ll just run a
lil’ harder, but we have to be smart right now and get as efficient as
feasibly possible, cut our operating costs every chance we get, while
still not sacrificing our comfort or style.

The trucking industry has always been known for its toughness; heavy
loads, long hauls and late hours. Hardworking men and women fighting
against the cold and rain and sleet for weeks at a time; safely
delivering each and every load from point A to point B so they can head
home for a few days, get a little rest and hit the road again.
