@@justing7171 the reason I don’t check that small detail is because I’m paid an extra $50 on every load. If it’s a drop and hook at the customer, it’s $100 instead of the $50. A load I ran first if the week paid me 2,147 miles, and an additional $100. In total, it paid $1,495.55, which equals out to $0.696/mile. Which is $0.04/mile more than my normal pay.

The power of a 5k subscription channel. KAG did not want the most known driver on social media to have countless videos of breakdowns. Calculating all the money he is losing. For myself every time I see a KAG truck my first thought is how much does that one break down. Kinda sticks in your mind when you see inside a company and the reliability failures at one terminal.
