    Well, I'm sitting here over at the plant, waiting to pick up a load of HFCS for a Major National Candy Manufacturer.

    When who pulls up next to me but a QC Independent-by God-Owner-Operator in his black, chromed-out Large Car. OLD Arn.

    Scarcely bothers to look in my direction, neither giving nor receiving the polite head nod that denotes the last vestige of respect among trucking professionals these days.

    He struts towards the guard shack like he has a cob up his ###, arms held widely from his sides like he actually has biceps.

    Leaves the guard shack, walks back to his trailer, climbs UP the ladder (right in front of the 6-foot by 4-foot sign telling truck drivers NOT to climb up on their trailers) then returns to the guard shack, sticks his head IN THROUGH the open guard shack window, presumably to tell the guard that he's an Independent-by God-Owner-Operator and he can do whatever he wants, and if they don't like it the can shove the load up their ### sideways.....

    Meanwhile, he's delivering sodium hydroxide CIP solution.....while wearing sneakers.

    At least he ain't got on flip flops.

    I'll bet he doesn't have a hard hat, either.

    The professionalism is bleeding out of the tank sector, too.

    Retirement can't come fast enough for me.....

    THE TRUCK HAS STOPPED!!!!!

    STOPPED AT AN INDIGENOUS TA!!!!!!!

    The Unit has stopped at this indigenous TA about 50 miles from tomorrow's targeted first stop because of nail in trailer tire.

    We're DEEP in the wait to get it repaired.

    The OM thinks not befoar 2200 local. ( Now in Southern OH-HI-OH ).

    We were chided when we dropped the other trailer that Landstarve suddenly figured out hasn't been inspected in nar a year, we had it a week, and could have gotten it done, but they waited until Saturday to say anything.

    Anyways it's in excellent condition, no flat tires.

    The OM said we shall endeavor to persevere.

    Just so happens to be a Waffle Haus here.
