Why Do we do this?

I know what you did (to that taco) last summer.

 

I give a less than a #### about scales these days. I am avoiding truck drivers most of the time. I have driven from San Diego to the Omaha area, and the only interstate I drove on was I-8 to Yuma, and 6 or so miles of I-40 at Flagstaff, and I think 1 or 2 miles of I-25 near Walsenburg, CO. It was a #### good trip. Almost all of my driving is at night, so I would have long stretches most of the 4 days or so not seeing any other traffic.

 

9 times out of 10, they were tipped off by someone. Usually the Drug Kingpins themselves. They throw the Authorities a bone, while the real mother load gets delivered. The whole war on drugs campaign is a sham. Everyone from the Dealers to the Politicians, and every level of Law enforcement benefits from illegal drug money one way or another. There’s no real incentive to stop it completely. Too much revenue is made, and converted into legitimate revenue, and pumped into our economy. The Jurisdiction that confiscates the drugs, gets paid 50% of the street value. If they confiscate cash, they keep 100%. The Federal Authorities are involved, using Drug money to finance covert activities. Dark money goes to Politicians pockets. Everyone pretends they’re against the illegal Drug trade. Yet it somehow continues to be rampant.

 

Real truck driving and Steering wheel holding started around 20 years ago when trucks began to just be big easy to drive Toyota Camry’s. This ultimately caused trucking to be the fall back bottom of the barrel down and out last resort job to get out of poverty. Lose your 150k a year office job? No problem you can just get a truck and go!
Then in 2008 the anti-diesel and truck government took hold, forever indoctrinating the general population to hate the evil dirty killer trucks.
Along with new Residential and commercial development all across the states that have built around being anti truck. Curbs, islands, trees, landscaping,and needed room. How many new places built within that time have easy and or inviting access for truck deliveries? I can go on.

 

A few years ago I had one of those guys next to me , I asked to turn it down and he told me to buck off .
I was under an empty trailer and it was hot out so I fired up the unit and set it at -20 .
He moved .

 

Now I am wishing I had some tacos.
