    But crackheads make great drivers! They at least follow that white line perfectly!

    And I think water and fire might be a better comparison. At least water and oil are somewhat peaceful. ...if you really want to get technical, I might say water and any alkali metals.

    Since you are from Seattle check with the Washington State Patrol or look at the sign at the Bow Hill Scale on I-5 South Bound. They had a sign out with a phone number to apply.

    all jokes aside I rather be stopped by a DOT officer / ex trucker, that has been stopped and harassed by power hungry DOT officers himself.

    There were a few black slave owners in early America. Actually there were quite a lot of them. But a few who were previously slaves themselves were much more ruthless to their slaves than the typical white slave owner.


    Google it.

    If I'm not mistaken, PA farms it's inspections out to a company.

    You have a good point there. Hopefully Moloko is not going to be like those ex black slaves, that became slave owners.

    My guess would be starting at $35-40k/year (that's probably on the high side). State job (Virginia...at least) tend to start out no higher than $36k/year for entry level workers.

    As was already hit on...the real perk of a job like that would be the job security that would come with a .gov position. That "I'd have to snort coke off the belly of a prostitute, while drinking a 40oz of O E, while green-lighting every single truck through the scale line, while simultaneously giving the Patrick Bateman shout out (while banging said prostitute) to every passing trucker, etc." to risk getting canned.

    Depends where you live, in NV, the NHP does the inspections, so you would need to become a Nevada Highway Patrol Officer
