    Pull the camper up to Kansas City and get to work.
    Wilmer is a dump, they should get T back to run the yard.

    I was wondering how Wilmer was doing. I know after T "left" they seemed a bit bewildered. Plus I know they lost a few shop hands which probably didn't help things.

    Don't mind Joseph...based on the post's of his I read, he can't go swimming because he walks on top of the water...if you pooped him a solid gold turd, he'd gripe because you didn't wipe it down 1st. I've spent a lot of time in rural TX lately and have seen many ghost construction zones...speeding in a marked zone is one thing, but in TX they have the right way, the wrong way, and the TX way, and random construction zones are part of the TX way.

    post: 4623748, member: 66528"]it was not marked! There are no signs saying it was 45 MPH. There are no barricades, cones, neon witches embedded in asphalt and garden gnomes with pointed hats. There is no way of knowing it was a 45MPH zone..good grief Charley Brown. He's a good guy who had no way of knowing there was a construction zone in that stretch of road. And by the number of four wheelers and semi's that passed me today I pretty much have to assume they don't think it's a construction zone either.[/QUOTE]

    As you can see...this f'd up system is still having problems.I didn't request that this thing double quote the same post, it did it on it's own...we need a hacker to come in and erase the whole thing so they have to start over from scratch...this downgrade blows

    Patience my little butterfly, LOL, That area sucks, you could spend a lifetime there, only to realize the Southern Hospitality bs only means they're a bunch of ### holes.
    330 miles?

    When I went back in this morning, the load was Finally ready. 37 hr wait to pickup a measly 330 mile load. We'll see how much detention I get paid on this one. And I wasn't the only Crete driver experiencing this. At least with Crete it's fairly rare and we get detention and/or layover pay now. With Reefer outfits it was a frequent occurrence and often unpaid.
