    I am tached out at 85 or it might do a little better than that, but I doubt it.

    Talking about chains being hot. I was unloading up in portland about 3 months ago, at the big steel mill up there i forget the name. Well i got all my chains and tarps off and backed up to their dock where they took my coil off with overhead crane. After they get it off i pull out into their coil yard to put the rest of my equipment away. The whole time i felt this insane heat , i couldnt figure out where it was coming from . it was way to hot to be my exhaust. But it was right next to the truck the whole time .I couldnt figure it out, until i leaned my arm against one of the coils sitting in their yard to get my balance as i bend over. #### near burned my arm off . they had those hot rolled steel coils, probably about 200 of them i was surrounded by. They werent molton hot , they must have been sitting awhile but they were still very frickin hot. Enough to make a grown man question the decisions hes made in his life. U could see all the heat coming off the top of them , like when u look at the road on hot summer day . I still got scars on my arm from that ####, . atleast the bright side is i learned to never touch a hot coil LOL

    I point a blanket finger at all including myself because its less grief than singling someone out as being an ### and then 10 pages of backlash that drowns out my actual point. I didnt think singling out martin for a compliment would butthurt anyone who i hadnt complimented and im sorry for any butthurts. Failure to compliment is not the same as an insult, and a crowd that constantly says grow some thick skin shouldnt be thin skinned. There are tons of helpful people here. You know who you are and i am not criticizing you. I appreciate you.

    Anyone else who isnt helpful, or worse, is a jerk, knows who they are and i am criticizing them, the masses of faceless nameless mean truckers pissing and moaning on the internet and screaming nasty words into the CB at strangers over nothing. It has been me a time or two, and i deserve my own medicine for it. The get out of my way me me me red faced always angry gang. Judgement is the lords job, not mine, but that aint the life you wanna be judged for, trust me. Im sayin change your ways for your own benefit and everyone elses.

    Dont believe in god? Thats fine. But you do believe in social security because friggin everyone on earth is waiting for their check anymore it seems. Someday your old crippled ### is gonna need to get a monthly check. You know who is gonna fund that? The young idiots you piss and moan about, but havent prepared for the task of supporting your generation.

    Thats how it works folks. Each generation depends on the ones who come after themselves. You dont like that flip flop flatbedder? Well, his future taxes are your future medicaid so you better help him earn more money!

    Thats funny cuz, when I do the UPS Freight load/deliveries, I want the electric jack out of the truck, I just take a pump jack, I like them better. The electric jacks with lift gates just a pain in the behind. Its all just opinion, worth about as much as the paper I did not use.

    I've never called myself a truck driver. I've always called myself a delivery guy. I was the UPS guy for years and now I deliver everything needed to make coca cola. Go local to pick up women lol. That's how I met my wife, it's like a bad porno movie. The ups guy walks into the office with the hot secretary lol.
