    Rank and crew is Hillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllarious!! I don't know if I got more miles rolling from Laredo to Amarillo. Or laughing at the last 8 or so pages. I Hope Patty knows we love her and love messing with her. She's a fighter and she don't stop swinging. Gotta love it.

    Made it to Amarillo with 1 minute left on the clock. 10:59 I thought I would go over but was able to go off duty at the stop sign. Wooh. 1st Quarter safety bonus is still intact.

    PS. So who said you can't do the do with 5 hours or less of sleep? Oh by the way I have a drive cam and it wasn't activated when I was all over the road because I was mirco sleeping or whatever that word is.

    Steering wheel holders- Talk
    Soup A Truckers- Do the do.

    Did I say Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee hawwww yet. If not.....

    Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Hawwwwww ;)

    I'm curious guys...isn't there a law against this? Isn't there someone you can call to report such a thing. Shouldn't these companies be fined for such behavior. Maybe if the fine is stiff enough they wont allow their dispatchers to bully drivers. A driver knows when enough is enough, and the dispatcher and companies have to trust the driver in such a situation. Yea I know there are those out there who would abuse it, when a walk around or coffee would work, that makes it hard for everyone else but come on, there are procedures that can be followed in such abuse. I'm not a driver, my husband was before he passed and my nephew is now. Which is why I'm on this site looking into companies for him. So I'm learning. Be nice to me please in your responses...lol

    Yeah Patty is cool people. I just wish she wouldn't fall for the fame and glamour of those You Tube truckers. Where's her love for Trucker Report Members who have Over 2,000 post. We get no love for PJ. We work hard, change lanes, and Patty still won't give us the time of day. Maybe some of are not cute enough for You Tube have you ever thought of that Patty. Maybe we have radio personality looks. Why can't we get some love Patty. Why!!!!!!!!!!!
