    Possibly if driver does not have the appearance of a homeless derelict they may be treated with respect and be treated better

    I think your dogs are great sports. They obviously have a good life and feel loved. Standing/sitting and waiting for mom to put a hat on them and sitting long enough for a picture says "I love you too, mom."

    Keep 'um coming!

    This is my best friend... Unfortinataly he doesn't do well with road trips so he has to stay at home with the wife and kids. This was actually his first time in a big truck... I had my truck at home and he kept barking at it so I had to take him out to show him it was ok.

    This is Maybilene. She is awesome at heeling horses, cows, and 3 year old nieces for me. Turns out that she is a nut case in a moving vehicle, so she's not the truck dog. _20180812_143143.JPG

    You know... I'd be more concerned with the crusty drivers out there wearing jeans and tshirts (with company logos) that look like they haven't been washed since Bush Sr. was president if you want to pick on drivers looking unprofessional. Sometimes it makes me wonder if I'm at a truck stop or a homeless shelter.

    I can't stand flip flops. I can barely stand wearing them when I shower. But when I see a driver wearing them along with basketball shorts the only thing I think of is that he's dressed for comfort... and there's not a #### thing wrong with that as long as they're still clean and don't stink up the room. Then don't get me started on the ones who look professional but certainly don't act that way toward other drivers or toward truck stop and restaurant personnel. Yeah buddy, yelling at the cashier at the McDonald's in the Love's is going to be so effective at making them change their prices.

    I knew a trainer that used to have negative things to say any time he encountered a driver wearing any kind of shorts. Why? I think some of y'all just like to be petty, miserable #######es.

    You make some great points. I especially liked: Yeah buddy, yelling at the cashier at the McDonald's in the Love's is going to be so effective at making them change their prices.

    It drives me crazy when I see something like that too.
