    I haven't been by the mall in about 6-7 years. The last time my wife and I were there, it was about 1/2 of what it used to be. I didn't realize they spent that much money on the industrial stuff. Now I understand why my parents grumble about utility bills.

    We had one of our "tools" sit in the cab, video a truck backing into his sleeper, all the while running his mouth. So in his infinite "tool" wisdom he sends the video to the safety department to "prove" it was the other guys fault. So, being the real wise ones, safety tells the company that backed into our "tool" they only had to pay half the repairs and the other half is coming out of "tools" paycheck because he had all the time in the world to video this guy but never bothered to try and do anything to prevent it (blow the horn, flash lights, or god forbid, get out and stop him then help him get into the spot).

    Now, I'm parked in a rest area with a 20' wide load till 10:00pm tonight and at 12:30am this morning I had a tool trying to squeeze into the spot that I'm mostly in with the widest part of the load then sets there and wails on his horn till I get up. I got out, walked around there to find him a mere inch from a multi-million dollar load with 2 of my 3 cones on that side moved under the trailer and this f-tard is yelling at me telling me to straighten up my parking job so he can get parked. I invited him to take a walk with me to the other side where I show him I'm less than a foot from that truck and ask him exactly where he would like me to move to get him the 6 feet he needs. He then threatens to call the police on me to which I offered him the cell phone numbers of the 2 GSP officers that parked me here. He left.....

    Yeah, last time I looked, between the purchase of the land, improvements to the water/sewer to support this complex, changes to the ramps at the outlet mall to accommodate blade trailers/schnables etc. and all the rest they have "invested" about $20 million. They still have a staff that are getting some pretty healthy salaries to "promote and manage" this wheat field. The "Director" of the project is making $200k a year himself.

    Um, the tool doing the video job isn't driving for a Mega, he's at the same 240 truck outfit I drive for. As for the one who backed into him, I wasn't told the name of the company.

    Cochran’s is the old 76 TS on 75 in Ringgold, north of the coup. I remember you saying you were at the ChooChoo.
