    You may want to find a line of work that suits your lifestyle more appropriately.

    "Trucking ain't for sissies."

    Shoot, sounds like to me he has a good job with a company that keeps him rolling. A lot of people claim to want that....

    We has arrived at the indigenous shipper and have a door.

    There's an old hand here that reminds me of okiedokie.

    He's having a bad day.

    His truck got hit by a dump truck and it tore the moose catcher off. And a mirror.

    Wait...............there’s moar.........

    He has no vest. This is someone that obviously did not apprentice at Schneiser.

    They won't load him.

    The OM agreed to sell him my vest for $20 after we're loaded.

    We're out of coffee.

    Actually we have a bag of BuckStars and water, just no maker.

    The OM blames me.

    We used to get those guys at the lay down yard. No English, no PPE,flip-flops,ect. Get back in your truck and will unload you.

    Ever helpful, that OM. Good thing he is not from/returning to the near Phoenix area, or she would of have held out for a short term lease....

    I'm pretty sure this is you. He's got his neon green Operating Engineers shirt on now, and they found that acceptable.

    He's telling me about his last fight at the truck stop when he was only 75. His opponent was only 65, but he broke his nose and gave him what for.
     
    InTooDeep, okiedokie, Bud A. and 9 others Thank this.

    Had to deliver in Flowery Branch GA first.
    About 3 this morning some idiot crashed on i20, shut it down, i bounced to old 78 for about 20 miles.
    I’m at the Loves in Loudon, all hills, not real level parking.
    Can’t go anywhere though.
    I am reloaded.
