I see Bison trucks in Las Vegas & Los Angeles area all the time.

My serious sympathies to the HOW drivers

Bison is the Canadian version of a mega carrier.
They want their drivers to be out on the road for weeks at a Time and Then only get 2 days off.

I know because I talked to a recruiter.

 

[Electric Chicken]

I see Bisons here but I didn't know they were a metric mega.

I told you people

Born In Some Other Nation

I've heard things like slip seating OTR trucks 2 year contracts for new drivers and all sorts of fuckery about them. They're lower on the chain than CRE if that is possible.

Every now and then we see Bison and HOW down our way
not too often
outlaw will be driving for hem when he gets old enough

 

[Electric Chicken]

I don't see HOW.

No kidding! Bison is scarier in a truck stop than a Swiftie!

 

[Electric Chicken]

They herd at Exel in Carlisle PA. I see bunches in there all the time.

Being a very polite Canadian, I was always told "If you don't have anything good to say, be quiet." I'm following that advise on this one.

Go hang out at the Fargo Loves... A Swift terminal is safer!

 

[mndriver]

I tend to avoid any truckstop in Fargo.

If I do stop, I'll go up to the Sta-Mart

Yup, Bison.
