I thought I was in for a bit of a pay cut coming here but that is no longer a concern. I am not seeing a slow down in the winter months and am starting to feel that this industry is not as sensitive to economic slow downs either like the van world was. Also found out that when they had their lunch cookout thing in Blue Grass awhile back I arrive there shortly after you had left. Apparently I am your newest stalker.

things kinda slowed down this week, was expecting a very poor pay-day.
then: "good'ol BOB"
he knew I had a rough week... so he tossed me out for the week-end... no complaints here...!!!
will be chalking up another $600.00 between saturday and sunday. then am off for monday.
not my favorite way of getting it done but it works.
yep, I was getting nervous, wednesday, the big board only had like 5 runs on it for the ten guys we got dedicated here...
asked whats up with that???
and was told... don't panic... we got the same number of loads for the week... just everybody wants everything on thursday and friday this time.
they pretty much got what they wanted also... lol
came to work yesterday... and the lot was full of cars and no trucks in site.
got home last night kinda late... lot full of cars and no trucks in site. except for one, and we pulled in togather...
got out and said hey, for a minute. he looked as tired as I did... lol
with the economy like it is... the short load board made me twitch...
I'd much rather be pounding out the miles than standing in the food-stamp line, which is getting longer by the day.
"STUPID ECONOMY !!!"
yeah,see, the whole thing isn't really wallstreet...
(talking over the boo-hiss of the crowd)
the problem is:
average joe was spending like he was rich when he wasn't. this artificially inflated the economy.
now that he has found out he wasn't rich he is hording what little he has, artificially collapsing the economy. Refusing to give up the fantasy, "I was rich, I was rich, rich I tell you... and I will be again..."
No, stupid... you wasn't rich, you just had good credit and was using the heck out of it !!!!
let reality sink in a bit, wipe the vaseline off yourself and pull your pants back up...
annual earnings: 1/2 is what you can afford for a car.
annual earnings: twice is what you can afford for a house.
now go buy yourself a 1970's 3 bedroom ranch, a good 04-05 set of wheels, quit making three trips a week to walmart.
hug your ###### kid, call your mom instead of driving over to see her, and for pete's sake take the family out to dinner saturday night after buying the kids some (american made) clothes and lets get this economy moving.
don't touch the 401k and quit asking the bank teller what she thinks about the economy. she hasn't a clue and is as scared as you are over nothing !
hmmmm.....
I think I just hijacked my own thread...
stupid representative government... thththththhhhh.......(rasberry)
obama and mccain don't approve of this message... but republicans and democrats are both different flavors of the same lie...
vanilla coke or cherry coke??? your still getting coke... I want pepsi dang it !!!!!!!!!

"whatcha been do'in??? watch'in baseball or da'races...?
"well I been home tak'in care of things"
"uh huh... (pause) well we ain't try'in to pick on you none, (pause) some of you young'ins juz need a little more couch time before your ready ta roll with us go'gitters..."
