    ^In Asia you can regularly find classes in "American accent training". Classes in education institutions and corporate classes where trainers travel to work sites. I always thought it was to help people make their accent more "neutral" but maybe someone got confused and started teaching some of the different regional American accents.

    My Japanese and Korean students would always ask me to teach them how to speak like "a real American" and would love it when I thought them some goofy accent stuff. Like the New York "fuhgeddaboudit".

    My load going to Atlanta was ready surprisingly early. I now have 3 days to drive 790 miles. I will bring it to Nashville and hope for a swap!

    I've got no problems with people having pets in their trucks, and am thinking about getting one myself but..... don't you think that a Great Dane might just be a little over kill?

    A pox on all brokers that do check calls! !! You want one, fine. Let me know what time you need it by and I'll do it. This can) ing and waking me up tho is form the birds!!!!!!!!! I usually don't answer cause I am NOT a nice person when woken up.

    Boss just told us that we're all getting a 2 cent raise starting November. Yes Cranky...... that is per mile!!!! Lol

    I hate it when this company proves Cranky wrong, ok that is a lie I am just smiling ear to ear over here, but my next load goes from North East, Pa(Roberts Wharehouse) to Hopkins, Mn.(Supervalu). No beer load for me but I bet it is just as heavy but will have most of the hills behind me after I pick up.

    passport what is so goofy about the NYC accent? LOL

    Be safe out there
     
    passport220, HometimeQueen and jungHo Thank this.

    Should get back on my normal schedule after I pick up this load. Like waking up around 0100 but have been driving from 2000 through the night.

    Couldn't find that truck wash but now worries there is a beacon not to far from my pick up. They want me to put 123 gallons of fuel in here in Syracuse, not happening will put in 60 should have enough to get to Ohio where fuel is 40-50 cents cheaper a gallon

    Drove 3,622 got paid 3,457 my best week on E-Logs. I like paper so much better could average that on paper but I will take what I can get.

    Be safe out there
     
    HometimeQueen and passport220 Thank this.
