    We are truckers. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

    C'mon, are you really dropping to "who the #### are you" argument?

    It is hard to argue with that being wrong. The reality is that is not attainable for everyone. It is not even up to someone's lack of wisdom or ability. It is the way it is. Some push their luck. Some are comfortable with whay the have.
    I remember when being fresh on this forum I kept asking how much, how much....but nobody was saying anything....Until someone said it short to me "I don't give a rat's arse of what others make...I need to know what I am hauling for." At first I thought it was rude but now it was the wisest thing I heard.
    I'd feel happier to run 100 000 miles years on end clearing $60K vs working for someone else.
    Again, I don't think that he -- @Dune - T will get better rate than me from the same broker arguing for money on the same lane. I also start with 5 - 10 dol a mile when I sense a chance.

    He is upset that I labeled him as "Chicago white Volvo crowd" in one of the threads for hauling cheap

    The most upsetting part was that I heard it from a person who went to unemployment while I went to work.

    I went to unemployment, because Michigan was under the State of emergency and everything was shot down. Government decided that people should be staying at home, not working and get paid an extra $600 per week.
    It was not my choice to quit working, millions of other people ended up in the same situation and I don't know why you have a problem with that

    I have a problem that a person with a position of being unemployed were labeling me White Volvo, well aware of insulting connotations, while I tried to make a living. The money I generate will be taxed and some proceeds will be directed to the unemployed. I'd expect the unemployed to at least keep quiet and not offending me. If everyone went to unemployment there would be no unemployment unless China would loan money for that too.

    Just eat you dinner, and go for a walk and enjoy the weather instead of trying to have your last word. You know well that labeling anyone with an intended spite is never going to be welcomed. That's a general savoir vivre that anyone like you and me knows very well about.

    You keep pressing that "unemployment" word, like you don't understand the difference with being unemployed, because of what happened in the previous months vs just a regular unemployment.
    Btw, that PPP money you wanted to get, is also unemployment money
