    The relief tired is starting to hit the human hard.

    I can actually haul more but we are payed by the load, not the weight. So I will only haul the minimum. Especially since they want to keep reducing the rates. Screw em.

    You know @Opus — for a Georgia hillbilly you’re kinda smart— got to thinking a little about this and there’s a couple things that needed done and that only I know about that would of put a couple boys in a bind so I went over this morning on my dime and took care of them, left all the #### in the job shack and sent an email telling the boss that I’d be back over Wednesday morning early on my own dime to unload 4 trucks that are coming in loaded with roof deck —cause I don’t want to ever F’over truckers who are just trying to make a living and that I might have to work with someday—and then I was done and he could keep the couple days wages and go brag to buddies in Sun Valley how he F’d over one of the hands— the man called me on the way home and asked about 4 times during the conversation what it would take to get me to hang around and wants to meet face to face at the site — so there’s probably about a 5% chance something might can be worked out, 5% that a gunfight could erupt and 90% that we part ways— but at least we talked

    It's a strong man that realizes it ain't all about him.

    If this is directed towards me— I’m still about half uncontrollably pissed and bent about in half and it ain’t gonna be a ###-by-ya event come Wednesday after the last load is landed and I could still give a F less if the CS’er lives or dies, but that ain’t a reason to hurt other folks that ain’t involved— you just reigned me in a little with your comments is all
