    Is it just me, or do Mondays suck more than usual when you had to work Sunday? :confused:

    Saturday afternoon I got not one but TWO panicking phone calls, one from my TM and the other from central dispatch. Apparently some linehaul driver in PA bailed on a run, so I had to come in yesterday at 3:00 AM, bang doubles together in the tain, and then do it again in Richmond. The latter of the two left me with a nice knot on my dome from when I crawled under the back trailer to check the hookup.

    I suspect the OM would not be pleased. :mad:

    Heard this the last time I was at the Amish Feed mill.
    Those guys that work there are fun to deal with, always telling jokes.

    Took a bit to type it, but I think it also tells a story about judging people


    An Amish man wanted a loan for $500. He approached his local banker. The banker pulled out the loan application, asking, "What are you going to do with the money?"


    “Take some jewelry to city and sell it," said the Amish man.

    “What have you got for collateral?" queried the banker, going strictly by the book.

    “Don't know what collateral means."

    “Well that's something of value that would cover the cost of the loan. Have you got any vehicles?"

    “Yes, I have a 1949 Chevy pickup."

    The banker shook his head, "How about livestock?"

    “Yes, I have a horse."

    “How old is it?"

    “I don't know; it has no teeth."

    Finally the banker decided to make the $500 loan.

    Several weeks later the Amish man was back in the bank. He pulled out a roll of bills, "Here's the money to pay loan," he said, handing the entire amount including interest.

    “What are you going to do with the rest of that money?"

    “Put it in my pocket."

    “Why don't you deposit it in my bank?" he asked.

    “I don't know what deposit means."

    “Well, you put the money in our bank and we take care of it for you. When you want to use it you can withdraw it."

    The Amish man leaned across the desk, looking suspiciously at the banker, and asked, "What you got for collateral?"

    It's all clear now.

    We've nominated you to give the thread a first look on how it actually feels to cross over the newly upgraded bridge, while loaded near gross.
