    Indeed. That and increasing the mandatory coverage on trucks from $250K to $1 million. Additional costs to squeeze out the little guy competition.

    If there is one thing that's happened in the Trump era It's 1) the naked revelation of frauds who called themselves conservative yet are anything but and 2)

    (Okay two things)
    2) How much contempt those "establishment" conservatives have for folks like us.

    What would happen if you told the high class bougies they can't run their workplace air conditioning more than five minutes in the middle of summer (idle laws)

    Crete will probably keep doing the sleep study test..even if the gov. doesn't require it...it would only stop...if the gov. says the test is illegal and against the law

    Today is my 21 days.
    I don't know how any one can work here and not drink.
    I bet most our drivers use heroin

    After I got loaded Monday I sent my "next destination" for home on the 2nd

    And yesterday on the way to Missouri I get a preplan from Fulton, MO TO Goodlettesville, TN.
    I drop and grab the empty and expect to be told to go home, nope, a Preplan from the drop lot to Crawfordsville, IN for a 12:30 on the 3rd unload?????
    I send a message that I wanted home today, and I get back it's too far to deadhead.
    Then I get the same Preplan to Indiana and another from Austin, IN to Mississippi????

    I reply it's 144 miles and I go home a lot from North Vernon or Seymour and that's around 140 miles.
    From Crawfordsville to home was 170 miles of state highway.
    I call Lincoln, talk to Tim for a while , Gertrude must have found out and walked over to him and told him I could head on home.
    its not a job, it's an adventure
