    Hey Blair we've probably met that is if you where associated with the bunch of us that came over with TFUSA in 2005 forgot the name of the fella that picked us up at the DFW airport then took us up to Oklahoma City to apply for our SS cards before we headed back down to TX and stayed at a rented house in Weatherford about 20 miles west of Ft Worth we ran about with some driving school for about an hour while the driver explained to us how we'd go doing the driving text. i passed first go so was ready to be shipped over to Utah where we started with LW Miller the rest went to Freymiller based in Oklahoma city. I could of mentioned alot of stuff you said but because alot of it is irrelevant now i thought it'd be of no value for example TFUSA no longer exist so its pointless trying to contact them. The fact that the H2b visas only had about 6 months left was an issue unless you got the extensions although extensions are only valid for about 8 months in which case you must renew them over and over again for up to 3 years, or if you leave the USA you must obtain another visa to be able to work again or an Authority to work card if applying for a green card. The bottom line it is a very expensive journey especially like one of the drivers who never got his SS card he was stuck he couldn't get his CDL until it got approved and was not earning a dime not sure how that bloke got on i just know he was still waiting in Weatherford for his SS card when we all left for Utah.

    I drove from MD to FL on Sunday for a week off.

    I barely heard a peep on mine all the way down here.

    I personally don't care about how who is from where.

    We have laws in this country. I only ask that one follows them, and not behave like they are exempt or should be.

    Otherwise, welcome aboard.

    The only time i turn my cb on is when running with a buddy or when i got escorts.

    After so many years i just got tired of the idiots.

    Georgia's finest were busy on 95 Sunday afternoon. Apparently nobody cared.

    I never do. I drive the speed limit so why would i worry about them setting up looking to write speeding tickets?

    Hahaha. My right fit is the only governor any trick I've driven has ever had. I learned a long time ago that burning more fuel to get there a few minutes early isn't going to get me unloaded any sooner.
