    A truck driver running 70 mph plus and says to himself "Driver, please don t jump out in front of me." then the inevitable happens: A mega carrier governed at 63 or 64, trying to pass another 62 or 63 mph truck either on flat ground or hill

    Truck using a gallon of oil and five gallons of water every five hundred miles. Air conditioner not working in July. Bald tires on trailer. Trailer doglegs to the left and truck pulls to the right. One brake cammed over and backed off.
    Phone conversation as follows:
    Owner..."Baby it along for the rest of the week and we'll try to get it in the shop this weekend".
    Me on Monday morning... "The truck isn't fixed. It didn't even move from where I parked it Friday night".
    Owner..."well, limp it along for this week and we'll try to get it in the shop".
    Me..."I can't. I don't work for you anymore".

    I know, that's more than one sentence. Pick the one you like best.

    In cali. Most flatbeds close at 1 or 2.

    Supposedly the cost of electricity doubles at that time.

    The worst thing to see coming into the restaurant? A bufarilla who believes that every guy in there wants in her pants and the bootysniffers that do want in her pants.

    Lady, where I am from, that's called bestiality. I don't do farm animals.

    I always thought receiving closed at 2 or 3pm because they start at 6 or 7am and they aren't allowed, or want, to work overtime.

    Driving to a pickup, or delivery on Friday before the broker appointment time. And being told "We closed 1 hour ago, check back in 5:30 on Monday morning".

    Or a driver blocking in another driver, in a deep sleep, and gets the bang on the door to move his truck so the other driver can leave
