    You might have pointed out to him that immigration would have done his family good. It might have prevented inbreeding.

    Air tabs and flow below? Did he misunderstand what you are hauling?

    And don't sweat the bigots. Small minds. I usually ask them if they're native American and if they don't get what I'm getting at I just laugh at them and end the conversation.

    To heck with the morons. From reading your thread & talking to you on the phone I can tell your good people. I don't care where you came from & you did it the right way. That accent though... Lol.

    The fact that Blair did it the right way is the biggest distinction in my mind.

    Airtabs and flow below or whatever? I can only guess you called into that carnie huckster KR. Did he tell you needed a Turbo 3000d too, lol. I obviously did NOT hear ya. As far as immigration goes, the feds and various state governments have pretty much made it into a cluster F, so anger and frustration isn’t hard to understand, especially in a low IQ industry like trucking. Legal immigration and illegal immigration has been confused by the main stream media on purpose for a decade now. It’s all part of the plan.

    Last company job I had was owned by a Kiwi. Worked for him for just over 4 years. Small outfit that grew tremendously while I was there.

    He taught me lot about the industry and the US immigration process. Good people in my book.

    @blairandgretchen Pretty sure I passed you heading north on I-135 in Salina, KS today....I was going the other way headed back to the dock. Looked like you had quite the OSOW load on like your pics from a couple weeks ago.

    Guilty as charged!

    Johnny (escort) and I were back and forth between 15 and 19 on the CB, as not to tie up airwaves, he’s a nice guy to travel with. Not sure if you tried to holler out or not.

    Yes - it’s a rinse and repeat from a couple of weeks ago, looks like there may be more after this.

    I hate to say it, until it’s off the truck and in the bank, - and obviously the initial intrepidation has disappeared given that this is simply a repeat of the last load, with lessons learned . . .

    It’s actually fairly straightforward and comfortable now. To push boundaries it needs to be wider and longer and generate more revenue.

    However - counted chickens, pride before fall, never relax . . . we’ll master this level first before getting ahead of ourselves.

    Now if I could just secure a cracker load out of Washington . . .
