    So to me it’s fairly simple. You can work 40 hours at 25 an hour and make $1,000 or you can work 70 hours and only make $22 an hour, but at the end of the week your check is $1,540. Personally I don’t mind working longer hours for a bigger check. Not to mention I didn’t figure in overtime for the longer hours so it would be more yet. Even tho I make $3 less an hour than Joe Tunney in a factory.

    Yes i do..... don't tell me what i like or don't. I know and love myself. My wife is fat, and I've been with her for many years. I love the hell out for her and id never ask her to change a thing. If she wanted to change, she has the freedom and my support to do so. Love is unconditional. I do like fat women. What turns one man on doesn't turn on others. Fat women have psychological issues? I've known many confident fat women. You may not be able to be intimate with them.....we'll that's you. There are millions of chubby chasers out here, I'm just one of the few that ain't ashamed.

    He probably has but he may be too fake/scared to admit it, because he could be like many guys who like the fat ones, but are too scared that they'll get clowned by the others lol. TTR has a way for clowning and crucifying folks that are different...don't ask me how I know lol.

    I remember kinfolk making a comment about a snooty woman one time…… I’d like to buy her for what she’s worth, then sell her for what she thinks she’s worth and make a good profit.

    Match made in heaven! I find them highly attractive too, especially the ones from the Phillipines.

    The LTL business does this and I personally hate it. It requires too much dependence in the diligence of other people to do their pre and post trip inspections and we all know how that always works out.

    “Gee, I don’t have to cross any scales so why should I give a #### if there’s lights out?” :rolleyes:

    Well, that depends. What exactly are we talking about here? Somebody so fat that the backs of her knees have their own ### cracks, or just someone with hips who fills her dress out?

    He's not the only one to see a problem. It's acute in our industry, but the trend extends across the global economy.

    There are a lot of threads/posts about "don't haul cheap freight" that castigate drivers for not pushing for 'fair rates'. Yet if we change it from O/Os to company drivers, those same "don't haul for cheap" posters lose their dang mind saying "if you want more, get a better job". If any one mentions raising the minimum wage the response is "it'll just drive inflation making things worse". In my opinion there is a lot of artificial downward pressure on wages. We need to talk more about what we're earning compared to the work/skills required and the necessity of the job to society.
