    Back at home. Hammer down the whole way got 6.7 MPG for the 960 miles.

    Remember if everyone says NO to mega carriers, there won't be any. Rates will skyrocket. Be not afraid friends.

    The guest workers they import from all over the world with towels on their heads will never say no.

    HA! Excellent story about that yesterday morning at the J here in town. Some dude that was Iranian or Iraqi.
    I pulled in to top off tanks before I left, guy walks up that had just fueled ahead of me says he pulled the nozzle off as he was finishing.
    So I pull into the lane next to it, and he blocks that lane with a garbage can. Well the doof they have working at the J moves the can back, and walks away, then the Iranian/Iraqi pulls in to fuel his reefer.
    I try tell him the deal, but he smiles, and doesn't understand a single word I'm saying. So I finish my glass & mirrors, get a cup of Hi-Rev, and I'm in line with everyone at the entire truck stop behind the same Iranian/Iraqi because he can't get his fuel card to work.
    I told the girl what was up when I got to the fuel desk. Said he speaks 0 English but will figure it out in about 30 seconds when he starts to fuel.
    LMFAO, and he did.

    The hoses have a breakaway fitting, just stick the hoses back together, it's real easy.
    Even I can do it.
    But I hate people that can't speak English and most accents
     
    Dave_in_AZ Thanks this.

    There is no reason on God's green earth that man should be in our country driving a truck. You'll notice the megas love to hire people like him because they're willing to work for peanuts whereas Americans want a living wage.

    Well the dude that broke the hose was either English or Australian. But warned me in English ( with accent ).

    Back when I was first started driving for Dick Simon I pulled forward because I thought my wife had taken the nozzle out and she hadn't and it ripped the nozzle right off the end of the hose and the hose was like a snake shooting diesel fuel all over the place. I slipped the attendant $50 to make him look the other way as I beat a hasty retreat

    Does anyone watch TWD?
    I'm behind, just saw this episode where the really bad guys take one guy prisoner and completely try to mind F him.

    To end his torture all he has to do is say " I am Negan."
    ( The head bad guys name, thus becoming one of them, his will broken.) He says " I am Darryl. " when asked, and they continue to beat the F out of him etc..

    When I was at orientation with Schneider they want everyone to say " I am Schneider. "

    I sat there and said " I am Dave. " OH LOL LOL LOL LOL.
