    I’m trying to learn.

    Even on some basic level most humans care at least a little.

    The OM is a feline assassin. The OM does not care. I need to learn how to negotiate all over again.

    Congrats @otterinthewater , staying positive with a good attitude at a company that everyone likes to cry about has brought you to bigger and better things. Share your wisdom and experience with the whiners and maybe you can make a good driver or two out of them now. @Dave_in_AZ feel free to treat him like #### and pay him very little....he came from WE it's all he knows lol.

    Went to fuel at loves today in richmond indiana. Every single pump blocked and every single driver no fuel pumps in tanks , nobody around i guess they were all inside. I sitting there cursing the trucking gods. Finally got a pump 15 minutes later ,us express came out with hardees fast food and moved up but stopped with the back of their trailer directly on the pump. U gotta be frickin kidding me... Fast forward im in st lous, i take the off ramp to get on i44 from 57 i believe. Not the first ramp, but the one downtown where u go past the arch and make that 20mph merge to the left. I get halfway down the ramp and the guy merging from the other freeway stops in my lane at the bottom of the ramp I was doing about 30 , i was on the breaks real quick and gave him a handful of airhorn. He then motions me to give him a push i shake my head no and tell him get the f out the way. I guess he ran out of gas or something idk. He starts to back up into the front of my truck i give him airhorn again he motions "give me a push" . i shake my head no .and ended up backing up in my lane to go around the ####ing guy. Man if i wasnt paying attention i wouldve plowed into the guy and it wouldve been my fault. It really is crazy how fast #### can turn on u out here. Not to mention there is so much stupid drivers the past 2 days idk whats going on but i have seen atleast 7 almost accidents and #### near got myself in one today. I hope things start to calm down around me, i suggest for all of u to stay away from me for like a week. I guess im in the truckers penalty box for something i must have done lol

    #### man , idk what it is people are going crazy. I used to never believe in the full moon and how it makes people act crazy but after being a trucker i believe in it now. Even my family member and friends who are firefighters and police officers they say the days and nights with the most calls and crazy stuff that happens is always on full moon

    I actually watched a video on that a few years ago. Carl's Jr wanted to increase market share and move in on the east coast and it was cheaper to buy Hardee's being as how they were already established and they decided not to change the name since everyone already knew who they were and they had a customer base. I have been to Hardee's 2 times in like the last ten years and both times it took like 20 minutes to get food lol.
