    So I roll into the shop at my home terminal and am waiting to make sure the AC is frosty instead of just cool. It's almost all Eastern Europeans with little to no English. Whatever as long as they get the work done and I am driving a Volvo...

    Then one takes his break, pops a Slav squat NEXT TO A CHAIR and starts playing hardbass cheekibreeeki EDM on his phone. Complete with Ruski callouts before the drop.

    Are they going to paint my truck white next time I go in and make me haul containers/vans on a 1099? Am I required to buy all Adidas and take my 30 in the fuel island even if there is a dozen pull through spots in clear sight? Am I allowed to take pictures standing or only once I've assumed a deep, balls on cement squat?

    Edit: forgot to mention AC is blowing cold now. So at least I have that going for me.

    They should be pretty good mechanics since they and Volvo are both European and Volvo is slowly adding European Volvo technology to the American Volvo. You should be scared if you rolled in with a Freightliner or Peterbilt/Kenworth.

    I think LeadFarmer should be more afraid of his own brain, with all that round about second guessing going on.

    I would go ahead and find an accountant, and buy some stock in Adidas just to be safe

    You forgot blowing your nose in the sink and driving with your bare feet up on the dash for the whole world to see

    And brushing your teeth in the parking lot with the door open and spitting on the ground...

    They do get me in the mood to play sports though Everytime they jump out of their truck with Adidas sneaks on and jogging pants.

    I don’t care where they brush their teeth as long as they do it. Did you ever spend any time checking in at a shipper/receiver in a closet sized room with 4 guys who smell like they just competed in the Ultimate Dog #### Eating Contest? Also someone in that room wasn’t aware of the invention of toilet paper. I wanted to puke.

    So we have enough time to be in compliance with ELD but never enough time for better sanitation and hygiene. Hmm what a conundrum.
