USA CDL JOBS TRUCK DRIVER FORUM

southern refrigerated transport says they want want you to run legally all the time but they do not give you loads that will let you run legal all the time and if your truck breaks they expect you to wait for it to get done then run all night long to del the ld and if there is a refrigerated ld you must insure that the reefer does not run out of fuel or quit and if it does while your truck is in the shop you are in big trouble.
