    Both plants we are dedicated carriers for are working Thursday but are then off until Monday. The boss hasn't told us our schedule, but if it's anything like last year, all 8 drivers will work Thanksgiving Day, then one driver for each plant will be on-call until Monday. I don't mind that plan. I was on-call last year and wasn't needed.

    It's just the wife and I and we've already ordered our dinner from the local BBQ joint. Smoked ribs, smoked chicken, collards, baked corn, cornbread dressing, and banana pudding.

    Well my thanksgiving plans are ruined. Sysco Jackson WI. Arrived 1hr before appointment, took them 2hrs to get me a door then another 3hrs to get off 2 pallets. TWO PALLETS. Now the rest of my stops are behind schedule, had to cancel a booked load going home.

    Chicagoland or Nevada, ima get me a professional for thanksgiving, so I’m not mad at all.

    Stuffed cornish hens on the grill and then
    Dueling computers and see which one of us can buy the most ammo on black friday. :D:D:D

    our queen dictator governor has basically ordered the state to not have anyone over for a large gathering. keep it small she says at or about no more than 5 people.

    so that is easy for us to obey

    we are just a small family, so only 18 of us..???

    screw her and her dictatorship rules in MY HOUSE.

    Our manatee in the Governor’s mansion graced us with his presence on the radio today to inform everyone as to the hotline people you can call to report non-compliance with government orders.

    :rolleyes:

    We lost Easter. My daughter and her family stayed at her house, my mother-in-law alone, and me and my wife by ourselves. It sucked big time. We aren't giving up Thanksgiving nor Christmas on top of it. We will be together (it's 8 if my son-in-laws brother doesn't come over, then it'll be 12), but by God we will have dinner and family time.
     
    Tug Toy and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    I hope those who rat out their neighbors don't ever need them in an emergency. I'm the kind of neighbor who wouldn't forget that crap, and they would be treated accordingly.

    Hey "Voyager", can you help me out? My car's broke down and I need a ride to the store. My response would be You don't say. Remember last Thanksgiving when I got cited? Well, good luck, I can't help you...
