    Eh, maybe you're right. Could've been an off time or something I guess. I can still hear a fair amount of traffic on the main road, so maybe most are still in there regular Sunday routine.

    I fell asleep and woke up ROASTING in the truck after freezing to death for 5 hours in the service bay.

    I could have died.

    I thought,"What would Opus do?"

    So I ordered a pizza with extra sauce. Not allowed contact with the driver. So I'm going to get him to sit it on the CAT scale and back away slowly.

    This guy is making sure I'm happy. Any chance of coming back. Actually continuing with him. He wants me.
    Told me the run I did from Dallas to Denver. The one where roads were closed. I was 4 hours late. Broker/customer said they were so happy with me. He can have one of those loads anytime he wants. And it pays real good too. :)

    Maybe not as easy, but when you do it yourself you know that all the zerks got grease in them. And you if you happen to break one off, you'll know about it. Not like the TA tech would ever tell you if he did it.

    Must have been a mega company driver... Who else would be stupid enough to wait 4 hours for a mud flap when you can change it yourself in 15 mins or less??

    I'm seriously hoping real estate takes a plunge. That's one HUGE reason I want a little mini terminal.

    Nearer 5. The paper work was done incorrectly.

    Oh he came in and said,"I pull in now?"

    Girl's like,"No. You wait in your truck we'll call you." lol

    This is a true story. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.

    First truck I got, I turned that rascal on high.
    Woke up in the middle of the night on fire (sorta).
    Anyway, I thought it would be a good plot for a movie. Waste a guy with a bunk heater.

    What you got?
