    Have to wonder about the mental capacity of some people. Why would anyone roll out at that kind of speed in a big truck. Thats just a happen waiting to accident.

    Was a serious hammer day. 719 miles, 8 minutes to spare. Don’t much like doing days like this.

    @Dave_in_AZ this is an absolute must watch that I'm sure you will appreciate... It sums up the communist state perfectly.

    so I am trying to find @Judge I think. I am currently staged up at Mountaire Poultry in NC. Waiting for them to get a drop n hook loaded. Ah the smell of chicken cramped in cages. Almost reminds me of the smell of Bull Hauler Money. LOL

    Wait til one of the end dumps goes by, pouring blood from the tailgate, ick hanging from the sides.
    In the summer heat it has a smell of its own.

    The area we live in has cows, chickens and and forest products as pretty much the only economy drivers. When we first moved to this area, the house we rented had, unknown to us at the time, 9 chicken houses on the other side of a grove of trees. In the time of the year that we would enjoy sitting out side, the smell could be terrible if the wind was coming from there. When we bought this house we made sure that we would not have to deal with it. When I pass these chicken farms and see the owners homes right there next to the chickens, I wonder how they stand the smell.

    Time off is up, flew into Chicago last night waiting on my ride from the hotel this morning. Got my wife and dog moved into our new apartments, got her a new truck she better take ###### good care of, and now I have to earn money to replace all I spent.
