    I felt bad for the guy. He looked like a rat in a have a heart trap that knows hes gonna get shot. I been there, but i could jump out and say im sorry to the drivers behind me. Or which way do i go? Or when does the place close. And i could count my money and know when i was robbed. This dude is at the mercy of whichever english and russian speaking exploiter bought his CDL and has him in that truck for 18cents a mile. We dont give cdl exams in russian and he didnt know the words right left forward backward at all. So im sure his life isnt as good as mine.

    The mexican was on his way home from a 3rd shift plant near us and fell asleep. Just tapped the wife then jerked the wheel when he woke up. He spun out backwards into the left lane median right infront of a semi but didnt get hit. Had 2 baby seats in back of car. Im glad he is ok, and we let the incident go without a report.

    I worked with ukranians in my last life and mexicans at the quarries in my new life. I like them. Theyre ol fashioned, dirt poor, never whine and work non stop, just like me.

    I believe these places are trafficking these people and making them work for so long to pay off the bill for smuggling them here. This is also part of the problem with wages. These companies can bid cheaper on jobs because they basically have slave labor. I’ll skip why some politicians like it. This is only my opinion. I have more thoughts on this but it’s time to wrap another layer of tin foil on my hat. Maybe later.

    Pups pull like a lead sled compared to a long box with just two.

    Couldn't stay. Was technically in a no parking zone. I figured I'd have to move. Wasnt upset about that. I shouldve logged off but I figured hell I'll just creep along and right as I made the turn it crept over 5mph and boom went to driving.

    Hadn't thought of it like that but I could definitely see it being the case.
