Oddly enough, it is all technology that is giving our drivers on the road more advanced tools for making more money through speed of information.
Remember what the drivers in the past did to succeed? Paperwork was handed back to the offices when they arrived at the office. They would check in to the office at the pay phones at the gas stations. No contact with family except through a pay phone. They would find out about road construction and traffic jams by word of mouth from drivers coming from the opposite directions while fueling or even worse, by coming up on it in.
