    The road to success is usually under construction.

    Bad planning on your part does not make it an emergency on my part.

    When the broker says the load was scheduled to load tomorrow but theyre going to load you early today, chances are the shipper will be hearing about that for the first time from you!

    Look out! Lady driver backing up. (Shouted by me to clear away inattentive bystanders.)

    After making an obviously difficult back (with some finesse) ask, "How'd I do? It's my first week driving."

    If the wheels ain't spinning, I ain't grinning !

    The roses have wilted, they all turned brown. Get on the porch if ya can't hammer down !

    Honest honey. This company is different. I'll be home all the time.

    put your brain in gear before the truck

    the miles are always better at another company

    a truck is only as reliable as the people who built it

    if your at a shop and they say it will take 4 hours plan on 10

    you can double the estimate to get the actual repair costs
     
    Elvenhome21 and Epidemeo Thank this.
