    He already told you he was smoking a joint, drinking Mad dog and driving 110 mph, what kind of a response did you expect, :biggrin_2559:


    I guess my question for all of these "Outlaws" is simple, IF/WHEN Elogs become mandatory, does that mean you are hanging up your driving gloves and chain drive wallet?

    I'm happy for you, but you are painting with a pretty wide brush, also, and YOU are well aware of this, there are a lot of drivers that would not want to run in YOUR area for any amount of money. So I am glad you are paid well, you do realize that combat pay was always higher than non-combat pay, right?

    LOL, I am well aware of your area, born and raised over there, just went back for Father's Day to visit the folks! I used to deliver a lot of stuff to the sub base up the road from you in Ct.

    Traffic over there is what it is, if your the nerous type or high strung,,,,,, FORGET about it!
