    No.

    They were like,"Do you know what a gift this is? You're going to be empty right there."

    So I said in that case, I'll need another $100.

    $100 here and $100 there. It all adds up nicely.

    It's off subject, but just about everything in this thread is. I just came across this young kid driving a rig in Brazil floating gears like a seasoned pro. The link is safe and there aren't any viruses or malware surprises by visiting the site.

    "Sorry kid, when you were 9 the truckers got together to screw the brokers, then when you were 13 the brokers got back on top and lobbied govt to screw the truckers, and now that youve got a CDL theres no money to be made in either profession no matter how good you are."

    Definitely way better then I was at that age that’s for sure. I felt cool to drive around the yard or cross the road. Once he figures out it’s not a race car he’ll be #### good!

    BTW I was informed by a friend that the rates out of LA to Seattle are spiking for a dry van
    $3000 and more was easy to get today.
    Maybe Scooter will get busy next week too.;)
     
    Dave_in_AZ, PPLC, FoolsErrand and 2 others Thank this.
