    Had a guy in Politics tell about how they’re shoving that down children’s throats in school now.

    Today after I picked up my load: " How much room do you have in your trailer?" My reply " half full". "We got a new customer, we need you to go pick up 1 pallet" Keep in mind, no customer name, no address, no phone number. Finally, they texted me customer s address. Show up to new customer, already gone for the day. So I m stuck in the middle of nowhere until tomorrow morning.

    I must be missing something. How are you possibly stuck somewhere that you did not have the name or address of. Did the company just tell you to make a wild guess?o_O

    Colorado has a hell of a time trying to design roads. I have not figured out what is their major impediment to figuring it out, but man have they got one. The nature of Colorado roads is as though no forethought was ever given, turning radii are irrelevant, it's always facepalm after facepalm in Colorado.

    Made it to the new Costco DC in Denver the other day, these jokers put islands between the right turn lane and through lanes that will not allow tractor trailers to utilize the right turn lane. That is at the intersection the brand new Costco DC sits at, in a warehouse district no less!

    Man do they have some deep seated troubles designing roads out there.
