    @supersnackbar any interest in the Gator football season? My employer is a big supporter of the college and attend all the home games, I try to get in to college football every year, but I really don’t have much interest. I guess the big story line this year for the home opener is that their opponent, Utah, is highly ranked and could give the Gators a loss to start the season. Either way, safe travels.

    Honestly, I wouldn't walk across the street to see a game if they were giving away tickets. I hate college sports, especially the Gators. Most of the people I know that call themselves Gator fans think it makes them special to be part of the Gator nation...the swamp that campus is built on could open up and swallow the whole place and I wouldn't miss it.

    College sports and the NCAA…not much difference in terms of crookedness from government.

    Speaking of Lexmar....it seems a driver filed a suit against them two years after I left. Something about not paying for something that California law says they must. Well out of the blue I got a settlement check from them for just under $2000.00. How about that, free money!! My man cave is getting a much needed and larger big screen just in time for Titan season!

    Same in tanker. Dispatch won’t get me reloads. They say it’s cheaper to go back empty and grab more contract freight. F my bank account

    Tanker seems to be the only type of trucking that gets away with paying a lower CPM when empty. I’m paid the same loaded or empty. I’ve deadheaded/bobtailed over 1000 miles for a special load before. Fine by me.
