    Barbie Benton hot as hell. So hot they made her again. This time her name is i beleive Clair Sinclair or something similar. Her boyfriend Hugh Hefner jr punched her out because he was mad about something , she said he got that way when he would not take his meds properly. Like Tommy Lee from tbe crue , anger issues. The 2 idiots have anger issues. Both rich & famous both had tons of hot babes tons of great drugs. 1 grew up in the playboy mansion with a giant multi million dollar inheritance and has anger issues. Its all in the mind folks , if you think your life is good or you think your life is bad ,, your right

    My very first load was a hazmat load with Prime. My trainers didn't have hazmat endorsements so on top of my first solo load, it was my first hazmat load period. Yeah I was nervous lol. My first night I spent at a scale house in Maryland because I didn't trip plan correctly. The scale house was actually in the opposite direction so I had to go out of my way to get to it. It took me a few more days to realize the importance of trip planning. I also learned never to take I68 across Maryland in a heavy loaded truck. I did deliver the load though and I have a picture saved somewhere of my truck sitting in the dock at the receiver of the load.

    I picked up about 50 thousand pounds of used cooking grease so no...

    I don’t even remember my first day alone. The three months I worked there it was all a blur because I was so over worked.

    My first job at Pumpkin I got stopped at the scale in Phoenix, Oregon for no front license plate. I think the truck had been in the shop and they forgot to put the license plate back on and I didn't notice it on the pretrip. The DOT officer was nice and let me go to the Petro to get the temporary letter of authority.
    Then I got lost in a residential neighborhood in Salem. This was before I knew how much better it was to have a smartphone to look at Google maps.

    I ended up quitting for a little while then the 2nd time around on my first load with another company, I took out a small low-hanging tree in downtown Bethlehem, PA. Some snitch got my license plate and called the police. I didn't even know the tree was damaged because the power lines were still holding it up. Then 15 minutes later, I pushed the clutch in and it went all the way to the floor with no resistance because a bolt fell out of the linkage. Then I got a call from safety about the tree. Not a fun day.
