    Oh my, your a baby sitter for Meltom? LOL! Driver parents ever give you a tip?

    Seriously, much respect... I couldn't do your job... I'd bet 9 out 10 drivers I'd fire, just by talking to them a few minutes.
     
    Meltom Thanks this.

    Now that is pretty funny. I would fire him as soon as I found out he was costing me money.

    I believe it. When I worked at Walmart on the O/N crew, me and a few other guys were taking our lunch outside. A big rig pulls up and the driver walks up to us.

    "Do you know where the DC is? I'm kinda lost."

    "The Los Lunas DC?"

    "Yeah. Is it nearby? I'm supposed to drop at 5" (it was nearly 3 am)

    "Not hardly, it's about 200 miles north on I25."

    "This isn't Los Lunas, NM?"

    "Nope, this is Las CRUCES, NM, you're a bit far south!"

    His jaw dropped and he ran back towards his truck.

    Please, and I really am asking nice, stop with the labels. See it makes you very narrow minded trying to place people into your premise of what they are and believe. You have never read, or heard me use that label because it does not apply to me. Libertarians are equally as blind and misguided as all the rest of the labels used to describe what someone is instead of who someone is. I know this may come as a strage concept but some people actually use their brain to make individual decisions on what are valid premises and invalid premises.

    Now once again I will ask Shred, snowblind and you are you willing to lose the roads with" less government". See the roads exist because we collectively agree to build them, fund them, maintain them, and ensure minimum standards on them. You and the others can be perfectly government free in this matter. Yep not one ounce of involvement at all can be easily acheived by the simple act of your rescinding your request for the privilege of using those roads.

    None of you have an alternative answer to how rules and laws should be enforced on public roads. Well not a realistic or logical one at least.






    Shred. I can not even begin to comprehend your example. Just rampant paranoia I guess. I was not entirely joking about my suggested cure for this affliction.

    I pay to use the roads that you state is a privilege. Simple answer is to not have some of the pointless rules to begin with like E-LOGS AND EGRB. Should be a choice. If you want them then you can choose to have them but don't push them on me.:biggrin_25522:

    So you think we should provide them to you for free? Use of your privilege has several costs. Some are monetary, some are compliant in nature. Part of the price you pay for the use of these roads is following the laws set forth by the people providing the road.

    Yes you pay a part. So do I. So does PATT, CRasH, Public Citizen, That four wheeler Billy Big Rigger is tailgating, that store owner who just had a thousand dollars in landscaping ruined by BJ Hunt turning around, the family of the kids killed by Crete, the paramedic that pulled those two children out of their Dads truck after he buried it in a bridge, your Senator, The Obamanation, Jay Friggin Leno, that dumb ####### in the Benz that just cut you off, Diesel Bear, the idiot without a license because he had four dui's,Your neighbor...............


    Yes I know the poor picked on little truck drivers feel all abused. Fact is you ask to be out here then whine when you do not like the cost of conducting your business.
