    At the last board meeting when the idea was brought up, i said " these guys will never go for this rounding up to the next dollar". My veto was overridden by these wacky corporate types.:(

    Well when I wass with CR England. It was a half inch of travel. That a inch would get you introuble. Yet it was the tighten the slack adjuster till tight and loosen one half turn as well.

    Yet CR England did seem to have driving to the overly tightened sence of the word. All sorts of weird rules about driving.
    IE when driving away from a stop light. The driver isnt allowed to grab the next gear up when making a turn in the intersection.
    They gave me points against my driving for recognizing that the engine was turning too high and cars behind me were upset that I was too slow if I didnt grab 2nd gear on a 13 speed.

    I was recently at tractor supply. I was some what shocked that their computer was able to take 4 items with the price of $14.95 and two at $20 and sell it to me for $84. Ok so they skimmed 20 cents. What ever.

    Unless your a human female? I am just not into guy hugs. TYVM. Grin, handshake is fine.

    So I try to never go to 49er (Pilot) in Sacramento even though I live here the place is just a time sucking pit. Well now that they have put lipstick on a pig, remodeled the outside of building and restaurant. I was really low on fuel so I stopped in for a splash to get somewhere else. Went in to pick up a new in cab air hose since mine decided to leak. Found out they no longer honor Pilot points for purchases I says buy aren't you a pilot ##### says we only sell pilot fuel I says see that is why this place is a #### hole always has been always will be. So even though I love 20 miles from there that place no longer exists.
    Ok rant over

    You come to my house, you're gonna get a hug, a big one. I'm a hugger. Probably a kiss on the cheek too. I'm a cheek kisser too.

    Place has always been a pit.
    Former company had a billing account with them. We had to wash all loads going to one customer, they were the only game in the area.

    It could’ve been worse...
    I just dropped my last pop tart with the door open, it hit my leg, spun, hit the doorframe, flipped outwards, hit the top step, then on to the dirt.


    All I could do is watch, my reactions seem to have slowed, I’m sure it looked something like...

    I just asked The OM if she realized we were in the outer band of the hurricane.

    She's like," Why don't you make us a sandwich. "

    And I'm like, " So you're playing the brave Tabby laughing in the face of danger?"

    And she's Iike," Make mine a double meat."

    :cool:

    I have never been the same since i hydroplaned out in texas. Real world skid pad training. Man that one scared the #### out of me . There is no worse feeling than running down the road and feeling the truck break loose and u have no control. Luckily i kept it out of the ditch. But i came very close.
