    I had chicken at one terminal on Monday, hamburgers and hotdogs at another on Tuesday, and missed out Wednesday, Thursday and Friday because they are actually making me work. I actually could have eaten lunch Thursday as I was at a terminal, but I was asleep.

    On top of the other stuff I got earlier in the week I was given a $25 gift card good at either Red Lobster, Olive Garden or Longhorn. Can't complain.

    Heard Wal-Mart drivers got new Lexus's.

    I'm with Joe, I just wanna work and get paid. More the company leaves me alone, the happier I am.

    "Trucking is 24/7/365. We should be appreciated every day every hour."

    I had no idea that trucking is 24/7/365.when did the transition take place and where was i located when it happened?

    Sarcasm aside,I disagree. we drive because we desire to do so,NOT for the thanks that is rarely,if ever,given.I would much prefer that others thank us by sharing the road and driving accordingly while in our immediate vicinity.

    I would also appreciate the women,no matter how they look,showing us more leg by being a flirt and raising that skirt or lowering that shirt while knowingly driving beside us for just the above reasons.

    mercer paid me within 2 hours of delivery , and they always pay quickly and never make a mistake on pay, all the thanks I need.
