    Got out here to Big Spring about 10:00. Parked right in front of where I drop off in the AM.

    And without further ado, here she is...

    My new trainee is a 60 year old super trucker.

    Yup. All the stories....

    When I get a chance I may try to compile some of them, if I don’t step in front of a bus first

    Gees you guys are noisy. Woke me up at 330 this cool morning.
    Back is still hurting. Glad I am not OTR, this would be a royal pain in the rear to have some DM telling me to just walk it off.
    The dead beat customer was a real dead beat allright. He bounced the check once I got it in the bank. I would have called the sherrif on him yet I also have that wording going through my brain "forgive us our debts as we forgive us our debtors". So all I can do is to make sure the locals know he is willing to pay with bad checks. Sigh. Tough to make a living when one only has three customers.

    Website is having trouble keeping up in real time again at the home server.
    \
    Lost two threads to time outs, and refreshing takes approximately 30 to 50 seconds behind when posting either a post or even a thread. There is probably a fair number of double triple or worse posting going on as people attempt to put the stuff up on the forums.

    Old Iron for those of you still dreaming of what trucking was once in the 50's Keep in mind Lo-lo is a transmission gear setting for the duplex shifts with two gearsticks that apply to certain rigs.

    Good, I tried to thank a post this morning and it wouldn’t let me. I thought the problem was on my end.
