    Your spelling is correct.

    One of my previous jobs a bunch of females had the brilliant idea of assigning actors of who would play the best role of a persons life... not by looks but by personality. I was given Steve Buschemi on a vote of 9-1.

    I thought it was ridiculous because he usually plays crazy comedian roles. But Boardwalk Empire, I can kind of see it a little bit in his mannerisms. I am not a conversationalist like Nucky Thompson, only saying there's a few things like the way he flexes his forehead muscles when he thinks he said something other people might find interesting. I do that like he does.

  6. you say you like Steve B.
    or should I say Theodore Donald karabatsos...
    Walter sobchak told him that every time he opened his Yap..
    that would be one of the greatest cult movies ever starring your favorite boy Steve be called The Big Lebowski one of the Coen Brothers classics..
    I thought for sure with you proclaiming your fondness for mr. Steve you would know exactly what I meant when I drop that classic John Goodman reference

    Sorry guys for not replying. I been busy running as much as they will let. I have a question. What is going on with Western Express right now? I have been running as good as I possibly can, keeping on time pick ups and deliveries until dispatch send me a load that I can't make on time. Then I get my DM on it and get it right. However, since my first solo paycheck, I havent been able to break 1500 miles a week. Not very happy about it. In addition, I got a load going to Walmart in Smyrna DE. That place is the same one that I had trouble finding an empty at last weekend. It took weekend dispatch the whole part of at least six or eight hours to find another empty. Ran out of time as I was pulling into a truck stop for the night. Can anyone provide insight as to what is going on?

    My wife ran for Western van at the end of 2016. All I can say is I would not run for them after seeing what she went through. She got pulled into a WS on the Penn/NJ border on 78 and was held for three hours because Western hadn't paid a fine and the NJ Dot grounded ALL Western trucks till it was paid.

    Well, thank you for that tidbit. Another reason to just totally avoid NJ.
