    I believe the reason is some drivers with dirtier minds than you and I scammed the system. So, now the driver fronts the money and has to provide a receipt in order to get paid back.

    The practice is standard from company to company, so don't let it worry you.

    That's just walmart's way of saving company wages ... Jockeys are paid by swift or who ever is pulling the walmart account ... Lumper charges a flat fee prob $50-60 for every load in & out

    Whole wharehouse probaly only has 20 paid walmart employyees

    Oops took a 20 hour break...

    Was tired I guess. Dang insomnia.

    Rock n roll up the rock n roll highwayto the house.
    Right at the split past the cops sitting place this time. No corning pizza complaints.
    3rd time this month I've slept there under loads.

    Very nice.

    Been craving roosters skinless wings. Satisfy the crave.

    Go ahead....try and relay.....
    Where you gonna do it? XD

    Skinless wings??? Why bother??? Sounds way too healthy to be calling itself a wing....You want some salad with that?

    I will trust you CW but...I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat skinless wings and salad!

    Nice London broil on the grill, baked the potato on the grill with it...more than one yummy glass of Malbec....ahhh home time.

    Fished over the weekend, renting kayaks next weekend so will bring the pole for that...execute the RR conservation plan....filet and release!

    Squeeze some golf in on Friday, son's basketball Saturday... home time will be ending Tuesday...bringing out some warm clothes with me since I won't be home til mid November.

    Ahhhh home time.

    You won't believe what was sitting on the stove at home.

    Leftover famous Dave's chicken & ribs.

    That's just creepy.... Like when you pick up the phone and whoever you were about to call is already on there without dialing. Wtf is up with that!

    Ooooo. Shudder. And wtf was the cat doing out at midnight woman :O. Arrrrrrggggg.

    Still very creepy did not mention I was coming thru or chicken. She just knows.
