    Never been to prison always found Not Guilty on all charges. It was very expensive though. But, when they take you to jail it’s bad enough. I have a hard time with loud background noise and it’s super loud. Then the question you get from other guys, locked up with you while waiting for your bond to be processed. They all want to know what you’re in for. When I was in the common area I was not telling people what I did or did not do they thought I was being rude. Then I had to explain that everything we said was being recorded because hard drive space is dirt cheap and if you talked about your case it was not to a snitch but out of their own mouth. Said I would be happy to talk about the weather, the food but nothing about why I was there. Then the pod was quiet after that. Sum bitiches held me for the whole three days not giving me a bail amount or transfer to county where I was really good friends with the president of the Sheriff's Union and would have been sitting in his office smoking a good cigar while I was waiting to be bonded out. Yep, Not Guilty on All Counts.

    My mom got the shot. She was freaked out by covid, "didn't wanna
    die like THAT".

    I didn't get the shot, went down to Florida to visit Mom and sister after the lockdowns ended.

    Told Mom I wasn't vaxxed, she kept 6 feet away from me while we talked, and literally fought me off when I tried to hug her goodbye.

    That was the last time I saw my mom alive.

    Any last shred of trust I MIGHT have still had in the federal government DIED that day......

    Well boys, I am unhappy. I’ve been waiting for four hours for my load and they just informed me it may very well be another four :-( and the guy parked right beside me has a very loud APU that kicks on and off about every three-quarter hour, just as I’ll be falling asleep, it comes on and just as I go to sleep again it goes back off…. vicious cycle :mad:

    You are a hard man, Judge...Exactly what it takes to survive in trucking, especially now.
    Remind me of what a driver with J.T. Garrard told me when I got on there.
    "Well, you won't make a lot of money with Mr. Garrard, but you will see a lot of country."

    By him rejecting that one load, cost him, $882.
    The reload back $980.
    So he “left” his money on the table.
    I’ve got him set for two loads, He’s gotta be back in Wednesday, That’s when he’ll get close to this state.

    If he gets to close, he’ll be wore out and run home. :rolleyes:
