    There are good rates out there. Not my fault 98% of drivers can't be bothered to put in the effort to get them.

    Easier than that, dynamite the fuel or POL Pipeline that feeds em.

    Colonial in Alabama with it's gas line to the east coast from Hammond and Baytown is having a real run of bad luck these days.

    There are two in the fayetteville shale play where I am. One gas, one oil and I think soon a 3rd carrying nat gas is going to open.

    I recently recieved a mailing from a gas pipe line company that included a system map that laid out the pipe and certain cities where it goes into tank farms or pumping stations. They should not have done that in light of post 9-11 security.

    Truckers blowing up the fuel pipeline will definately get someone's attention. Might not be the attention you want tho.

    It's not truckers that blew it up.

    A backhoe put his bucket where it should have never been put and punched it. Ergo Boom. Last week. Now the explosion from a month ago is still up in the air. It might be months or years before NTSB releases the report on it. OR it might be swept under the rug in the pipe industry.

    Elsewhere in the world terrorists blow up pipe all the time, even in Africa when they find a leaking gasoline or something, 200 people show up with buckets and pails to get free fuel KAMBBOOM half get cremated. It's clock work.

    It's really hard for a nutcase to get access to a 18 wheeler long enough in the right cargos to make the kind of trouble we all fear. Thankfully.

    Too many misfits and contrarians that won't agree on the price of a free cup of coffee.

    Doesn't have a #### thing to do with race. Take any 10 truckers of the same race and they can't agree on anything either.

    Race is usually thrown around self insecurities. Not labeling you of course, just speaking more broadly. It's understandable as the politicians and media have used the method known as "divide and conquer" for power gains. Regular folks buy in, and it works. So it's used. Today more so than ever, even though America has made more strides with different races than just about any melting pot society or region in history.

    As for unions in sports, they have created chaos. Zero team unity or tradition today. Athletes jump depending on dollars, period. Loyalty is gone. Unions have made athletes believe there's a difference in 10 years, 200 million and 10 years, 201 million. Never mind team conformity, winning, loyalty, or comfort. And that's not all. They pressure athletes to forgo all of that over change because "it could effect the next player behind you; and in union fashion, it's about their percentage, not the player. Pujols left St. Louis over this, his special needs child had to stay behind because that's where his family had his healthcare and stability. Pujols has never been the same. They are vultures, but I digress.

    Just my two cents. Some agree some won't.

    If I work harder than you, why should you make the same as me?
    If I am smarter at getting good loads, why should you reap the rewards of my research?
    If I take a month off, shouldn't you too?
    Use the brain God gave you, and make smarter decisions.
