    The funeral service was something like @#$%^&&%&.

    He only made it to the lid of the dumpster. Next morning he was gone, something had eaten him. We started putting food out, anything desperate enough to eat Louie needed all the help it could get.

    I've seen some pretty darned THRASHED interiors.

    I just look at it like it's $225, and then it's all good.

    I figure to each his own. OTR driving is a way of life. I haven’t seen all that many spotless trucks.

    And the one's I have seen, the guy was typically a weiner.

    I take it you mean you take both trap & rat and then stake it out in the open for something really nasty to eat it.

    Now hang on....my husband is meticulous about keeping his truck clean and neat especially because he has Beth. (50lb Entlebucher herding dog)

    It's a choice you make - to be clean or a slob. He has a washable rug on the floor plus her two dog beds. Seat covers and a full power Bissell pet vacuum and a ramp that accordion folds so she does not need to jump in or out of the truck. She has boots too if they are muddy areas to keep her feet clean so mud doesn't track into the truck. Febreeze daily, Lysol wipes and bathing the dog every time they are home eliminates almost all odor.

    We spent weeks training her before she was on the road full time. It's all about what kind of person you really are.

    Whatever became of Benji's ol saying, everything has a place and there's a place for everything...or something like that.

    Our messiest and most untidy mechanics were always our lowest performers. Fact.

    I guess I'm a weiner.

    My truck is clean too. I mean if I didn't empty their box, I'm sure they'd crap on the floor.
    Kinda like when you walk in the head, and someone has left a nasty crap in the toilet for ya.
    Makes you wanna sit down right?

    I'll take the middle of the road guys, over the anal retentives any day.

    One of those guys came out to replace our internet lines to the house. He did it in no time with no drama....but wow. Old food stains on his shirt, greasy hair and flatulence that lingered.

    No anal retentiveness here. Just be a professional is all I ask. We don't need a pissing match here. In the end, I think we know what we're trying to accomplish.
