    Depends on how it is interpreted. Cute like “I’d love to get in those pants”

    OR

    Cute like “my son just said wawamelon”.

    It's rare for me to have a load paying over $3 or under $2 per mile. But it's also rare for me to have a load weighing over 20k lb. At least half my loads are around 10k lb so a pretty low fuel expense compaired loads weighing 30k or 40k.

    Save money other ways too, it's rare that I buy food or drinks from truckstops. Stock up on food and water at Walmart and prepare my own meals. $100 at Walmart and I have food and water for 1-2 months.

    Just because you find only men cute doesn’t mean women aren’t cute too.

    50 bucks at a grocery store will last me a week. And I eat pretty good.

    lol, nope, but I don't eat very much most days due to lack of physical activity.

    Couple things of lunchmeat, cheese, bread for sandwiches. Couple things of frozen chicken, mini pizzas, pork/beef, etc. Instant stuff like mashed potatoes, oatmeal, pancake mix, etc.

    Refilling water jugs is just 38 cents per gallon.
     
    RefMata and JoeyJunk Thank this.
