    Ha! Should a seen my super backing ability in the pitch black dock between two intermodal trls in Detroit.

    Think I got out 20 times.

    Spent maybe 8 hours total at docks over two weeks. Lucky lucky lucky!

    Didn't have to deliver it to broker in Laredo. Made sure I got there at last minute so its closed and not open Sunday.

    Giggled as I refilled my water listening to a team complaining up together bout being on board forever. Hooked to trl and gtfo with that big preplan.


    Need a cape.

    A cape.
    Those bungees tc roleplayed as the iceman with.
    That kilt.

    What else?

    after being out here for 4 yrs now I still don't understand why we have to pay lumper to unload their product, they want us to haul it but they don't want to pay to have it unloaded. We here at Walmart in Harrisonville,MO dropping this trailer and still have to pay a $50 lumper fee, makes no sense

    I assume ultimately con-way is paying but do you have to pay when dropping the trailer and file for reimbursement?

    Wow you had to pay on a dropped trailer? I've never had that before... I just delivered (live unload) to the walmart dc in Plainview, TX & felt like I won the lotto when they didn't ask for lumper fees...

    Mr slack supertrucker forgot to slide his tandems at Laredo.

    He raised his lever went to sleep yuuuup.

    No wonder turning was so off track!!!! They were at the rear locked. Bout took out the post at Walmart for the 30 this morning.

    Had to parallel park drivers side... Crowded on a Sunday!

    Yes, company does reimburse. Happens at grocery warehouses. Just did a publix grocery run and no lumper fee felt like Double Yellow...paying a lumper when you do a drop and hook is crazy talk.

    The fee comes out of our pay and is put back when we submit the paperwork. If you get it in by next Tuesday, you never miss it.

    Lumpers do take extra time. They don't unload until they are paid and they confirm the check. It takes time to get the check and then the actual customer must verify the counts...tick tock tick tock...

    Super trucker stealing loads from teams...tick tock tick tock

    These teams run pretty good and they should...but, every now and then, they need to see how us grunts live so that they can better appreciate their good life...by the reaction of that team in LaRadio...sounds like the thing is working...roflmao

    Ahhh...home time....everything is funnier....
    Long neck bottle, let go of my hand....

    Yeeeeeeesssss!!!!!!!!!!


    Just popped a Pringles can lid off mortar style hard as I could.

    Caught it perfectly!!!!!?!!!

    Been trying it for years.

    Finally did it!!!!

    Feels better than a hole-in-one.

    Some ole lady walking her dog saw me to! Just laughed at me. I freaked out...

    Feeling so accomplished right now.

    It was a cheddar cheese canister in case you were wondering (though sour cream & onion is the best)
