    Yeah, my grandparents were evicted from Poland courtesy of the Russian army. Came to the US via France and Ellis Island in the early '50s.

    I respect the immigrants that work hard, but not the ones that put others at risk by working illegally and cheaply.

    Told ya. No we shouldn't speculate on his nationality, but when our ancestors came here, they worked to blend into society and become citizens, thus it was called "The melting pot", not now...I call it "the salad bowl".

    The experts claim salad is one of the germiest things to eat out.

    It was around noon, so not as many as we could have had it been later in the evening, I'm sure.

    The entire parking lot had a yellow tint to it. :|

    And there was a large fresh pool of yellow liquid on the ground next to an idling Werner truck in the front row.

    The trailer needs paint but look at the sexy chicken lights on the hood and above the running board. Cluck Cluck Chicken Truck. The truck was probably tired of waiting on him and wanted to leave. Reminds me of a time on wb Rest area on I80 in Iowa by Grinnell. Driver forgot to set brakes truck rolled forward. It stopped after tractor went over 6 foot concrete wall.:biggrin_2556:

    Wow. I hope you guys never make a mistake in your life. Not defending the act - forgetting to pull the brake is a pretty big ##. And maybe he was too ashamed to chat up all you witnesses and give thank you hugs. Or maybe he's just a jerk. Who cares.

    And don't read too much into the little bit of detective work you did with the safer search and the outlines of the previous owner name on the trailer. One of my trailers has a shadow where the old decals got removed. Fact is, when I pull into a shipper at 0-dark-thirty they don't care. The product inside doesn't care either. Frankly I am not spending the money to paint it just for that. Better to spend money on brakes and tires. I got curious and checked him out. It looks to me like he's about average to good on inspections, excepting a rubber glove check he got in MD in 2010.

    The authority revocations don't tell you jack. I've got one from an administrative screwup by my insurance company. Coverage never lapsed and I did everything I possibly could to avoid a problem. Thanks to someone else, that's now published from now on.

    I'm just saying.. don't be so quick to judge.
