Drive them trucks too. I'm in the 541 Heavy Haulers Union. Mostly run Tri-Axles, End Dump and Lowboy. Spent some time OTR, hated it. Running teams was even worse. My Tri-Axle is a 07 Sterling with a M.B and a hate to admit 6spd Auto. The tractor I pull my Lowboy and End-Dump with is a 2011 Pete 379 Ext. Hood Daycab. It's got 525hp and a 15spd. Spent way to much time in them trucks. At 32yo I'm already feeling the effects of it. Restless legs, acken back...

Don't know if any truck driver will be able to make it to retirement with the new rules. They are getting strict, and fast. We go all paperless logs next month at our company too. The truck goes into "limp mode" if you go over your time and other infractions. This system also won't let the truck go more than 2.5 mph over the speed limit or over 25mph without the seatbelt buckled. Sends a message to boss anytime you brake/accelerate hard. The Snowman (Jerry Reed) would probably just drive his rig right off a cliff if he had to put up with this crap.
