    Oh yeah it's the worst cant torque down on it cause it'll bend the metal. And when you and forklift driver are sitting there figuring out where to place belly straps. You only have x amount of winches. There's a section in the middle smaller than there others thats loose. Crossing my fingers I don't get one again. Took 3 hours to load and strap glad I didn't have an open deck and had to tarp.

    Here's a couple of prime examples of arrogance. I shouted out for Carl as he was bobtailing across 10. He snubbed his nose at me. 30 seconds later, I see Big Ronnie pulling out of the truckstop. I wave at him and he flips me off. Yeah, those heavyhaulers...

    I'd jump ship from Swift with 6 months experience....maybe even 3. Go look on Craigslist and see all the companies calling for "3+ months experience".

    Get in your car and take a ride down some US highway. You will see hundreds of smaller companies that would never advertise on Craigslist. Walk inside, meet the owner and tell him what you have to offer and see if you can make a sell. Beat the bushes. If you've been running solo, and have a clean record, someone will hire you.

    Really, I usually try to be less
    Of an A hole when it's not a complete stranger.

    I don't know your ride, so in my crappy defense.....

    Just joking. You were at the entrance looking to exit and I was pulling in. If its not female and petite and pretty and smiling (thats key, because I don't need help to be in a bad mood), I wouldn't notice either.

    HA! At this stage of the game, petite and smiling are optional for me!

    Size can be overlooked. Anger cannot.

    Well I guess that in some places, 'Little Shop of Horrors' could be considered soft porn.
