    You weren’t very productive. You could’ve practiced fuel island entry. You could’ve practiced backing into a parking spot. There are a myriad of ways to squander those hours pal!

    I don’t think it’s the driving that’s gonna burn you out…it’s that sheet show that is shipper’s, receiver’s and truck stops that will burn you out and make you ask your self why didn’t I listen to my Momma and go to college?!o_O:D


    Or is it just me?

    Well…I ain’t sure if you’ve been to one but driver parking on the fuel island, speeding thru the parking lot, throwing trash bags full of crap everywhere and having to worry about if your fenders are going to be where you left them when you parked! :D Heck the lot lizards are the least of my worries. I’ve only ever had one beat the paint off my doors. She was so high she kept knocking on everyone’s doors multiple times because she couldn’t remember which ones she already beat on.

    No limit poker games, beer pong, lot lizards, naked mad men streaking through the parking lot, and the women’s auxiliary knitting club. Those are just a few of the exciting activities I’ve seen.

    Hang around the coffee counter and TV lounge. That's where the former CIA hitmen, former Navy Seals, former Delta Force hang out. Easy to know which ones they are; they'll loudly tell you without being asked.
    Lots of millionaires and billionaires there also and they the only reason they drive trucks is because they became so bored not having to work.
