    Have you ever heard the expression “bull in a China shop”?

    I could say more, but I don’t want to share JoeyJunk’s fate!

    In all honesty - I have never met @Chinatown - but he's been around here as long or longer than I - and - I really have to respect him.

    He's obviously retired, and hasn't driven in a while, but still commits a lot of his time to helping others.

    You can scoff and bash, once you've had some experience in this industry, about this company or that - but China helps people, with a broad set of data, and an understanding of the industry.

    I respect him, when it comes to owner Op issues, is to defer to OOIDA, or other O/O here.

    What to do with the meat sack you were given by your creator? I commend any creature that contributes positively.

    Newbies have to find their way - I would bet China has helped many enter and stay, and improve their situation - because most of us here simply don't have the time to explain 1-20 years of experience in a few paragraphs.

    Saint Christopher is the patron saint of travellers, including motorists, who sometimes hang a small image of him in their vehicle for luck.

    According to legend, he was crossing a river when a child asked to be carried across. He lifted the child on to his back and crossed the river although the child was extremely heavy. Unknown to Saint Christopher the child was really Christ carrying the weight of the whole world.

    While Saint Christopher has to look out for all travelers. We have Saint Chinatown looking out for us truckers.

    Chinatown is the real deal. Nobody that has revealed the truth about @Chinatown was ever heard of again. He keeps track of what the companies are offering or require to hire drivers and he helps everyone that asks.

    He is the Jesus of China, he lights a way for many, he’s been known to drink double 40s taped to his hands and feet and still summon a double backflip on command. He’s 6’5” and lookin for trouble

    The long and twisted story that started one dark and stormy night. Suddenly a bolt of lightning crackled across the sky and thunder boomed. Dogs began to howl. In the hazy distance a shadowy figure was said to have been seen. What was it, man or beast. That’s when the legend began. The rumors spread like wild fire across the land. The stories were far and wide. Some say it was a man standing in the bright lights of a big truck in the rain. Claiming they heard a diesel engine idling in the background. Other said it was moon light through the trees. Man or myth, some say both.

    He really ought to be getting paid a referral bonus by the carriers that hire all the folks he refers.
