    Still waiting for their next move. She said it would be a couple of weeks.

    I'm always the nice guy. Pizzez me off. Picking up at gp in fort Smith. Its got a break in the pavement that will blow your tires.

    2 daycab drivers are blocking the drive yakking out the Windows like a couple of farmers on the backroad. I've gotta go so I start to pull up behind the bobtail who is blocking my way and the other guy rushes forward with his truck and stops me. Then he begins to gesture for me to back up. Well rather than instigate a cartoon standoff, I grumpily backed up. Then bobtail pulls under a trailer hooks up and goes inside. Whether to get his paperwork or take a dump, I don't know. Finally he pulls out and the other fella backs his trailer in the fresh spot and goes inside and does the same thing. I was stuck for 35 minutes.

    All they had to do was give me 10 seconds to get by and they could go on with their bidnesz but no!

    common courtesy is so uncommon these days.......
    I sent flowers and candy to my wife at work and they 'forgot' to give them to her. I'm up at 2 am because it pisses me off so bad. I guess I loose twice.

    That was tragic really. I'm serious. I feel for you and I'm imagining your wife's disappointment and now I'm upset!

    Ohm ohm ohm. Karma be gone...

    Well..my crummy week just keeps getting better. Dragged a trailer across the scale overweight on the Tandems. I paid a $250 fine for a darn $75 load. I know I know. I've only had that happen once before 10 years ago. My bad. Also I cringe to think I hauled anything for $75 lousy bucks.
