Funny...Wayne has NO idea WHAT is involved in being a Truck Driver.

$50,000 is **** wages, considering you have to feed yourself while out on
the road. That is deducted off the top line, leaving you **** all really.
Truck Companies DONT give a **** if you have a Family, they just want the
**** going down the road.

He should find himself a job..

The truck driver has to feed himself each day, wether he is driving or
watching Oprah.

Do you seriously not understand the difference in dollars, buying
prepared food on the road, or cooking your own at home? When we go
racing, we easily save $50 bucks a day by brown bagging compared to
other teams... It's a lot different working and living on the road and
trying to eat well, than it is stuffing in carbs on vacation or on a
long weekend...

If you are long haul trucking, you are not cooking on the side of the
road. You grab a meal at the same place where you buy fuel and you get
back on the road.
A parked truck is a quarter of a million dollar asset that is not
generating a penny in revenue but those fixed expenses are still going
out.

Exactly... Bill insinuated that "eating" is "eating".... but it's not.
Eating on the road is huge expensive compared to eating at home..
