    I have my “Thank you for the last 7 years, but it’s time to move on” letter all set and ready to send 2 minutes after they start that crap.

    That would certainly add insult to injury.

    Picked up a hill phoenix out of wytheville yesterday going baton rouge la for tomorrow morning to a family dollar being built out of a rite aid and my dm forgot to do the sheet thing so Harvey was flipping out today over it. I see it as no different than any other phoenix load, don't be late. Hot load assignment said. Had way more than enough time to go 830 miles so Im good. Parked 122 miles away for the day, get up 3am to get there by 530. Hopefully my phone won't be ringing off the hook because somebody worrying too much Ill be late.

    Well said! More divided then ever. Imo, 100 years from now nothing will have changed.

    Th
    The biggest proponent for tolerance and racial equality was assassinated 52 years ago, the most powerful person was president for 8 years. Nothing has changed. In fact, it’s got worse.

    I recently watched the 25 year anniversary of the LA riots interview of the dude that threw the brick off Reginald Denny’s head. He said nothing has changed in his world and that he would do the same thing today.

    My hope is for two things to happen. One, whoever is in charge needs to pull the plug on the human race and reboot or 2, when Elon Musk and NASA colonize the moon or mars, we’ve learned from our mistakes here in earth and will have utopia up there.

    Sounds like a great reason to put that phone on do not disturb. I would insert my foot into someone’s rectum if they called me in the middle of the night.

    No... Not yet... but this load I would have normally ran it across the GWB and on up 95 to Boston... I opted to take a longer route to avoid anything interesting in NYC... so wasnt “Out of Route” but I didn’t run the expected, most direct route.
     
    MACK E-6 and Redtwin Thank this.

    So, that’s a first... had to pay lumper fees today... $222 to load the Trailer and $222 for pallets... PALLETS!!! (First for me anyway)

    And we must have a new planner for the NE... I’ve been chasing the Plan for two days... always looks doable on paper, well, for anywhere else but not in the NE... I end up 3-4 hours behind the plan by the end of the day... and that’s with my left door shut too.

    sitting in RVA tonight, hoping for something good heading someplace far far away come lunchtime... ya, well, one can hope... :)
     
    Lonesome, jarhead0311 and dwells40 Thank this.
