    My point was more like this:

    If I were to say something like: "black people commit 60% of the murders in the usa. Making it disproportionate". I would get jumped on for saying that, even if it is factually true. I would be called a racist, even though it may be a simple observation of the data. (I don't know the actual numbers) So, are all black people murderers? Of course not. The same theory applies to truck drivers. Some throw pee bottles. Some are slobs. You know the deal. I hate being automatically considered the same simply because I share the same profession. Sometimes I think, well I will get blamed for [whatever] anyway, seeing as I'm already guilty in today's court of public opinion maybe I should just be a slob or use pee jugs. It would complete the preconceived stereotype.

    I feel like this will be an easy career to walk away from when the day comes, whenever that day comes.

    That's the old Pass Lake truck stop? Was a Tempo as well and an Esso cardlock I believe.

    So, Love's moves a little farther down the road, out of the city limit's and the little town now gets none of the local tax receipts. Smart move.

    Well it's not just us everyone does it. In my home state MA the roads are always filthy. Rivers are nasty. I've seen people in pick up trucks drop mattresses off in state Forrest for the hell of it. It's everyone not just truckers
