ROFLMAO
Now that's something I hope I never see again... "Winter" that is!

Yeah that would have a tendency to make it go down.

They're Baaaack!

If you see these guys at the Love's or anywhere around Richmond Hills, GA (Savannah), run, don't walk... They're running a Three-card Monte scam.

Truckers

The scam goes like this:

One of them will come up to a driver and say, "Hey man, did you hear? A driver just won a hundred thousand dollars in the lotto and he's handing out hundred dollar bills to all the other drivers. C'mon, you gotta come shake his hand."

When you get there, there's a whole crowd of what appear to be other drivers standing around—there's four involved in the scam. All of a sudden, one whips out a piece of cardboard, throws it on the ground and says, "Watch this! This is really cool!"

Then the cards come out...

If you're not familiar with Three-card Monte, you can read about it here: [LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link.


After I got off the phone with the cops, I went inside to tell the manager that they were back. A guy standing at the fuel desk sheepishly admitted that they had got him.

These guys are slick and they don't stick around for long—just long enough to grab a few bucks then off they go. Don't fall for this crap!

3 card monte sounds like a mess.

67 hr weeks, and I log every thing at 65 mph. Even in the 75 mph states.


30 min load and 30 min unload x 3 a week

15 min pretrip daily and 15 min fuel daily (small tanks) leaves 61 hrs of driving.... 64.262295 MPH
