    I got called twice when I was stopped in Effingham.

    The second time The OM was like," Random my ###."

    I've also noticed when you get into it with an agent, and cause them to #### all over their desk, you get one.

    You know, Dave, here's a conspiracy thought for you.....
    What if all these monkeys know all the guys that are going to piss clean and they send them for 'randoms' just to check the box and not come back hot?

    I know at FXF they'd just send down a list of names.

    In the oil field that's how we rolled. When I hauled water. Half of our guys were dirty. Crude oil, they did randoms.

    I got one at LS, driving into Gary, IN, high value load. They say, “you still in Michigan??” I say wasn’t in Michigan, I loaded south bend IN. They say stop in Gary for random! I’m like.. uh. Ok high value load you don’t want to stop for like 200 miles, stop in Gary, IN.. that’s safe little town.

    My daughter was in college in Nashville 3 or 4 years ago and her battery went bad. And she called and said she needed $150 for a new one.
    I thought to myself, man, that's bs, but I told her to go ahead.
    Then, after we got off the phone, I looked them up on line, and sure enough, they were $150.
    I was like wow

    The OM has considered that.
