    Well, I remember it all too well. Me and the wife went on vacation.

    Me & the wife went on vacation...on a bike.

    Travelling through Tennessee, we had to be VERY careful. Some of the stations had a 5 gallon minimum/maximum.

    Some were complete ###holes, and didn't care that the bike would only hold 2.5 gallons, and refused to sell us gas.

    What would be the human cost? Your wife might be getting raped, but the police can't get to her. Your children might be trapped in your burning house, but the fire department can't get to them. Your parents might be having a stroke, but the ambulance can't get to them...... Still want to sign up for that road block?????:biggrin_2556:

    Actually, the residents and businesses of DC would welcome the idea.

    It's how they make their money. Protest....

    I swear some people need to learn to read. So they might actually flip the boot over...ya know.

    Protest in DC bring an average economic boom to the city, of OVER $50 million in one day.

    They love them. Protesters that is.

    Motel rooms....food...gas...taxi...limo services

    Yes SIR!!! Everyone in DC is laughing their ### off, and praying for a protest EVERY day.

    WOW, Such support from another FINE Carrier!
    Thats ok, the ones willing to give it their all and FIGHT for whats RIGHT and WRONG? We'll Just remember if your company is is the same business? WE ARE FIGHTING FOR YOU TO...Enjoy, the Benefits soon! NOT that you need a raise or anything.

    Why even post in a THREAD like this if your doing so good?
    And if thats the CASE? Lets hear your SECRETS to success!

    I took offense to this seeing how " I " started this thread!
    Weak? You may as well have called EVERYONE of us STUPID.
    At least we know now who the real CUT THROATS are and you cant tell any of us that you are doing fine and need nothing changed! We'll ALL know your blowing smoke in our ##### and that would leave us all to believe that your Creditabliity needs checked into. " Somethings WRONG with this Picture".

    No one hear said it was easy. But so far every dam person here that I've Talked to, CARES IN SOME WAY ABOUT THE OTHER PERSON!
    You are acting like a complete prudent jerk with a IM BETTER THAN YOU attitude! I sure hope you dont treat people like that on a face to face basis? And if so? How many time have you gotten your CLOCK cleaned over it?

    A true " TRUCKER " cares. And a TRUE Independent trucker knows to honor his other brothers on the road. We may fight and bicker on the road and call each other names. But when we are in trouble? We stand together.
    You are no brother, You are no better in my eyes than a broker trying to get us to move a load for free in my book.

    You should be ashamed to even be in the TRUCKING Industry!

    All the best and we all thank you for taking that cheap ### freight that we are ABLE to turn down! It's COMPANIES like yours that will PROSPER all the way to the GRAVE. 10-4?

    -Matthew

    PS,
    We missed it, what kind of FREIGHT is it that you HAUL Again?

    The so called O/O pity party that the weak are attempting to organize is fun to watch... Only the unorganized, unprofitable and weak companies are looking for the government teet to bail them out for their pizz poor business skills. Run a truck like a business, specialize in freight hauling, keep your left door shut, don't buy the overpriced bright shiny objects at the T/S. and some may have chance at making it through this economic downturn.

    One other item.... I am better than those who are circling drain, why ??? I am making money, have reserves, excellent credit, an excellent client base, and a strong business plan. Failure to plan is planning to fail.....

    Now back to the pity party..... :biggrin_2559:

    I need to get my client's vehicles to their respective drops now...
