    THE TRUCK HAS STOPPED!!!!!

    Stopped at an indigenous Love's in Freeze To Death Kansas.

    Not a cloud in the sky, wind in pre-howl. Very cold. Almost like winter.

    The DH for this trip was 24 miles.

    The DH for the next trip is 8 miles.

    The OM said this is do to my poor MPG rating.

    Now the trip after that, the DH is 186 miles.

    So I asked does that mean I can get my fuel bonus or the threshold lowered.

    "No."

    We're stumbling across a bunch of flatbed agents. Seasoned flat bed agents in fact.

    The OM is considering starting a flat bed division and calling it:

    I talked to a LS FB agent. Her husband drove and she ran the agency.

    A truck driver calls into dispatch.
    Driver: I just ran over a pig.
    Dispatch: Is it dead?
    Driver: Oh yeah, dead as can be.
    Dispatch: Trucks okay?
    Driver: Totally a-okay.
    Dispatch: Then bury the pig and keep it pushing.
    Driver: Roger, that.
    The trucker disconnects, but calls back a short time later.


    Dispatch: What's the problem? You bury the pig?
    Trucker: Yeah, but now I don't know what to do with his cop car.



    Truckers are getting into trouble with environmentalists for animal cruelty these days.

    Because their trucks don't go fast enough to kill the bugs. Only crush their tiny legs and arms.



    Have you heard about J.B. Hunt's new accident kit?

    It comes with a 3 gallons of orange paint and a paint brush.


    Ok Time to go unload and get cold…

    The subsidies I am required to provide to an employer and employee of a business really tweaks.
    Many places outside the US, tipping is actually a bit of a insult. Price the products you offer at a fair and reasonable consumer price, that covers all of the costs, including a profit and paying employees a fair rate. It seems that in todays employment market, service sector jobs, like a server/waiter staff has undergone a significant transformation. Younger workers are more likely to be employed in these jobs, with little or no training or experience in the job. Then the expectation is that the customer they serve will hand over cash for doing nothing more than taking an order, and maybe bringing the tray/plates out when ready. In the last few weeks I have been eating in restaurants more than I care to, a work related thing. One of the things noted at these places is how people are doing jobs. Host/greeter is also taking beverage orders, the actual wait staff is really only taking the food orders, expeditors are actually delivering the food, and occasionally the wait staff wanders by to check on the customer. This model seems to be permeating within the upper mid range of establishments.
