    ####, shower, shave and coffee.

    Okay, skip the shower and shave for a lot of drivers.

    No mention of the nice pile of trash some lazy SOB left in the grass? Probably a trash can teen feet away.

    That is my biggest pet peeve. Two mismatched mudflaps. Just about as bad as mismatched tire tread patterns. For some reason it just screams "I don't care, come and inspect me DOT!"

    Looks like he ran over the shorepower thing lol.

    I was walking my dog right after parking, this Carroll Fullmer backs in beside me so I watch to make sure he doesn't hit my junk, well he backs up so hard to the curb he ripped his mudflaps off, I stood right there and watched it, wished I'd taped it. Anyway, next morning, CF was gone, and his mudflaps were still there perfectly standing against he curb lol. I grabbed them and put them on my Swift trailer. My next load took me way up into Montana were CF doesn't go, my CB alive with chatter about whether Swift bought out CF? Yep I said looking around at the trucks around me and would name off their companies that Swift was gonna buy too lol. Everyone matter of factly announcing if Swift buys their company they are gonna quit this and that.

    When you get older, you realize there isn't enough time left on top of this planet to care about every little thing.

    My dad was a very meticulous O/O and he passed that on to me. Even though his trucks were out in the bush most of the time, they were always clean, polished and exceptionally well maintained. If a mudflap got torn off out in the bush and he couldn't get a matching spare, he'd change both lol.

    Quite a few people never had such a relationship with such a father. You can't hold these people to the same standards. Be happy that they made the effort to replace the missing mudflap.
