    Make you wanna drive the beltway again? Don't think so.

    May I suggest a more effective approach to this:


    • Scale parking lots in mid-west are empty, while pickle parks are full... reverse that! Get all the hourly drivers to burn their 30mins and OTR (w/ good books) to turn their 10hrs behind scale. Make it a big cluster F' of truck parking.
    • When sign @ scale reads 30mph... do 3mph for 10x the brownie points. (once scale traffic is backed up to hwy, give big middle finger wave when close sign goes up)
    • When asked for paperwork, take your time. <--they sure don't mind taking 45min-1hr on simple inspection.
    40,000 trucks is their goal, lets try to make them settle for 5,000
    Sorry I couldn't take my gripes to Washington with you all, but happy to do it locally.

    It's either that or the budget deficit. We had to raise the debt ceiling so get out there and make some money boys!

    Yep, total media blackout for the most part, if you start looking around youtube though there are a bunch of videos.

    You have to follow alternative media sources. The lame stream media didn't report on the FOUR major rallies in Washington that happened at the same time.

    i was parked in the middle of nowhere wisconsin last week. nothing for miles. not even a shower. or tv or even a newspaper. only thing was a little restaurant that had really good food. with a 70's pricing structure.

    i had FULL bfast, AND FULL dinner, AND dessert for the cost of ONE measly meal everywhere else.

    this weekend isn't any better. i have to buy 2 meals to fill me up with one meail. and each meal is 50% HIGHER then anywhere else. and still no shower.

    and newbies who cah't think of anything but money. WANT TO WORK OUT HERE.

    a bottle of window wash fluid was $5. and that'll probably be gone before i get my next load just to leave this state. provided it doesn't rain anymore.

    I am not snowy but if you are talking about taking down the barricades and throwing it on the White House lawn I think that was great.
