    that's where ur wrong; i wasn't weak nor am i abusing u; i'm just giving u the cold hard facts. if ur dad, grandfather, uncle or whoever wanted to whoop ur butt for not doing as told they would, if they didnt well that is on them, i was raised a totally different way than other people. if i didn't i had consequences;

    u live in the northeast, i live in the south

    this the way i see, may be a tad off subject , but o-well, i will see more truck's sitting at truck stop by the end of summer , why, it's because of the weather, let see Texas is in severe drought, no hay too haul-(flatbed) , Florida got hit hard with freeze , then too much heat,oranges looking bad as well other produce, same way in Ca, (reefer's) cattle haulers-livestock will be busy the next few month's as they haul the cattle -livestock too the auction barn hope they get the best price and the week -heat related livestock goes too the slaughter house for our oscar meyer ham sandwich's , so the only real people that might be busy is the flatbeds hauling lumber for new house's, all due too the heat, and if you want proof , just click on any index stock page on the net and look at for example, hum index on oranges, or go too the farm site and just listen too them , it's a shocker too say the lest , so that why i think there be more truck's sitting waiting for load's.

    since i pulled reefer the first 10 years of driving, then dry vans after that, reefers never bothered me. I trucked it up so much that finding a spot so i could get some shut eye for a few was all that mattered so i may have been one of the inconsiderate ones. Tho when i parked the solar powered drivers were already parked and i had to park where i could hehe
