    I hardly ever follow the news or politics but in recent days have been following the shooting and listening to the political channels over the radio... No wonder why everybody is angry all the time over nothing. That is the cause. Itll take me weeks to get the brainrot ive suffered in recent days out of my head

    Did you see they’re trying to make Charlie’s death day a national holiday? I think Bling Bling with a crack pipe deserves a national holiday too, man one’s hell of a backyard fighter after he hits that pipe.

    With all due respect. Do you really think I need to watch tv to get my information ?
    It is so sad to see people in America fighting against each other. Meanwhile greedy and powerful people get richer and more powerful .
    We , are so fkn stpd that we believe politicians, we believe propaganda, and we are willing to hurt each other to defend our criminals, just because we want to be right and we want to impose our “righteousness “
    Sadly , it is the same problem in the trucking industry .we are so fkn ignorant and blind that we fight against each other .some truckers think are better than others. ( drivers, lease drivers, small o/o) we don’t realize that we are in the same boat . We don’t realized that we are controlled , dependent abused and exploited by corporations ( truck makers, truck dealers, insurance companies ,diesel corporations, shipper companies , brokerage companies , and politicians ) everyone makes tons of money from all of us, the drivers. So, when I hear people blaming someone else , complaining about their employers , I wonder ; what the Fck is wrong with us ?? We are the ones moving America !!! When are we going to realize that we are powerfully together ? When are we going to realized that rich people , big companies, corporations and politicians are nothing without US ???

    I think Netanyahu day would be most important. I don’t complain about holidays. I get out of bed and make money on holidays and on my birthday.

    Had an interesting conversation with another driver today while waiting to get loaded. He came up to ask me how i liked working for my company, and said he interviewed with them about a year ago, but decided because they have driver facing cams that they are a horrible company... So he decided it was a better idea to do a lease deal with a major flatbed company, then goes on to talk about rates and what hes making. Which wasnt very good at all. Then he says he hasnt seen a paycheck in almost 2 months because all the money he makes, the truck takes every penny and his settlement comes out to a couple bucks left over...then mentioned he was taking a low paying load from arizona to florida because thats where the good rates are? :eek:

    Now i dont claim to know #### from shinola and i been out of the game a couple years at this point but i thought running a business was supposed to make money? I dont understand the mentality of some guys, they let pride and ego get in the way of being successful. Whats the harm in a good paying company job? Guy would be miles ahead if he took the job instead of leasing. And ive not been bothered one time about my camera, i dont even notice it. Im not sure why for some its such a big deal they would rather go broke instead.
    Why would anybody live out here on the road and take the risk we take and then go months without a paycheck? I know we all got our own hills to die on, but that whole deal seems kinda dumb to me...Well he seemed like a nice enough guy, and i almost felt bad for him , but we all got our own choices to make at the end of the day
