    Joey, when you get junk mail do you open it? Or do you just glance at the heading and throw it in the round file?
    Same thing on here . If this guy irritates you why read his post? Put him on IGNORE. Scroll on past. You're intentionally beating your head against the wall 'cause it feels good when you stop.

    Depends on the truck. What is easy for my end dump is a nightmare for his flatbed or her dryvan.

    If I only made 100k/year I sure wouldn’t put up with the bs being an owner operator.

    This thread has a fascinating title!
    Look at its word sequence and intended semantics!
    The "ain't" contraction is especially interesting for those who speak English as a second language.
    It is not even about the formality or elegance (or the lack of) but more about its utility and ease of use.
    It takes a good skill to know how to use it and how to understand it.
    The "ain't" is especially common in American English both in fiction literature as well as present informal speech. I don't see it as often used by British poeple. Do they even commonly use it?
    Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath had a great account of such informal English used in dialogs of the common life people.
    It is a very interesting linguistic phenomenon.
    I am glad to find it here.
    Another fascinating sentence is this

    You ain’t seen nothing yet.


    Structurally incoherent but simple, subtle and phonetically pleasing.

    Look at this:
    "Says one time he went out in the wilderness to find his own soul, an’ he foun’ he didn’ have no soul that was his’n. Says he foun’ he jus’ got a little piece of a great big soul. Says a wilderness ain’t no good ‘less it was with the rest, an’ was whole."
    John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath

    Tall Joe took a break from wine tasting at the country club to grace our presence with linguistic philosophy. What up? What's popping? How's it hanging? What you know good you old rascal?

    The title of the thread drew my attention. This is a naturally developed linguistic skill never available to a foreigner.
    Therefore, there won't ever be a perfect spy: A Russian born and and raised in Russia speaking like John Wayne, or a full blooded American speaking perfect, melodic Russian.
    Such are linguistic subtleties only available to those who were brought up in the common language culture.
    Therfore, the Prime Amazon series"The Americans" depicting two Russian KGB agents: man and women operating under disguise of an American family, cannot be ever realistic.
