    Alternate plan:

    Figure out the median cost of a truck wreck clean up. Add 50% post an 80% return bond per truck.

    Let's just pull a number like $10k to respond to a wreck. Post a $15k Cash bond. Of which you only get $12k back.
    Yep it costs you $3k to run that load to offset the on call costs of the responders..... Is it worth it?

    Let the officer at the gate know your bond number and you can gamble your resources and run......

    That's the way the north is. More into the south and it's all tourist trap cities with people waiting to take advantage of anyone they can.

    Well they'll be more than a few of those. Cause the only reason we're sitting here, is because it's Sunday.

    And they aren't doing anything.

    Tomorrow when 1000 megas all depart at once, and there's the next big YouTube crash, someone can count all the money they saved.

    The stories and topics at the counter are..............deep and wide.

    Still the old brocolli. So I passed on the broccoli.

    Fresh mushrooms though. Go figure.

    Chicken noodle soup.

    The guy next to me keeps bringing every topic back to white supremacists.

    Check please.
     
    thelushlarry, InTooDeep, Rocks and 5 others Thank this.

    You should bring up how the broccoli must come from inferior genes because it's not good.
