    Hey, I resemble that remark! I live in Arkansas as does hubby and his family - I am originally from Florida and hubby, his brother and mother, his father is from Puerto Rico. We all know how to work electronics, indoor plumbing and electricity - hubby and I even have electrical engineering degrees!

    Of course they will do that. I use to work at Watts Bar Nuclear Plant here where I live. Shipping/Receiving and all the warehouses were outside the gate. After the stuff was processed in and ready for issue, our trucks would take it in. But I have seen many trucks that had to go directly in and they went through the whole 9 yards. Just walk near the fence and security will draw down on you.

    Pull the truck key off of the keychain and put it in the ignition. At least you'll be able to run the radio. They usually don't even look to make sure that a truck key is on the keychain.

    Pffft. Only had to do this once. Gave the dock worker one of my keys. He didn't even notice till he was done that the truck was still running.

    LOL.... Look at any load board and you tell me. Indiana loads compared to Utah freight numbers !!!!

    But seriously, Indiana is one of the best freight areas you will find. Plenty of stuff coming in and going out. I have more than enough money running IN IL OH MI

    You can keep repeating the same things over and over again and no one will care any more than before. Secondly, you're a new comer to this business, as am I, but I've endured just a bit more than you. Take your lumps like the rest of us.

    Now, you want to discuss common sense, we can go round for round.
