    Arizona Laser Alignment does it inside.

    I thought I was the only one that would ever get an answer like " Sorry, it's raining."

    That would most definitely have me talking to myself for the rest of the day. Mostly because I'm not that thick skinned I guess.

    They just aren't thick skinned enough for trucking.

    Interesting. first one goes out at 10’. Next one goes a 100’ more so 110’, last one goes another 100’ so that’s 210’. Right?

    I have a big job starting up tomorrow, hopefully I can get it done, by Wednesday. 10 yards of mulch and some edging.

    Mebee they'll just be busy tending their gardens.
    There's more to life than just trucking.

    Tending gardens. Someone needs to.
    I guess I'm missing the point.
    Once again

    It's only about being thick skinned enough for trucking.

    I must be doing something wrong. If I'm not in the truck, I'm under it. If not under it, i'm washing or polishing. If none of that, I'm thinking about some or all of it... or doing paperwork or spending money on something pertaining to it. Am I screwed up?

    Had a receiver tell me today, " Usually they have enough guys in the truck to unload this."

    It's like 10 pieces, some weigh over a 100.

    And I'm like," If one man will just help me down stack them, I'll place them wherever you like."

    He shakes his head in disgust. Walks off. Then two dudes come and unload the truck.

    To his original comment, I'm thinking, " Landstar has trucks with 3, 4, half a dozen dudes in it?"
