stuck at truck stop another week-end

[Jay B]

Who is sleeping with your wife while you spend weeks at a time sleeping in urine drenched parking lots wishing the company you drive for would buy APUs, Karnajj?

JayB you have really shown what a lowlife SOB you really are. Needless to say if you and I were in the same place at the same time you would be nothing but a bloody pile of $&!+ on the floor. If I get banned for saying that tough $&!+, it needed to be said.

Better look out Jay B we got a CB RAMBO. I bet you are scared.

Got that right Mackman, I'm hiding out at the house this weekend in case he comes looking for me.
I think I must have hit pretty close to home for him to come unglued like that. He even PM'd me and threatened me with bodily injury.
Hey Carnajj, if you ever lay over in VA PM me again and let me know what truck stop you are staying in so I can come and visit. I'll bring my dump truck or my day cab with the lowboy, or I'll put the dump truck on the lowboy.

WTF? Everyone here drives trucks, chill out Who gives two ****s how the other person makes their living, atleast theyre not collecting.

Also I dont see "coolie" being insulting but when its written in EVERY sentence its so damn old. Get a thesaurus.

What he said. :wink:

[belpre122]

I take offense to generalizing that or drivers are toothless, smelly people with nothing better to do than sit and watch TV in a Flying J lounge. And no, I read this whole thread top to bottom.

And Jeeps comments? I don't know what to say? Buy a truck and lease somewhere worthwhile? I got motel reciepts. Life is full of choices. Like i said before, I won't post 95TealKW's #'s, because too many people would call B.S. on that too.

I take offense to the generalizations also Bandit. They affect all of us. Unfortunately, a lot of these generalizations are true.

No way would I ever call BS on yours or KW's #s and have never done so. Fact is, you are NOT irregular-route coolie carrier OTR trucking. Personally, I think that it is commendable that you are able to make a good living in the industry.

Irregular-route coolie carrier OTR trucking is the issue with me. Not OTR in general, owner operators etc.

I appreciate the response.

Son Of A Bitch!!!
I am staying at Carney Point tonight. Oh wait. I don't work for a coolie carrier. I gotta go brush all my teeth.

Read the OP's first post. Then read 2 pages of "otr guys at the Flying J are scumbugs" and blah blah blah. Funny how I stop at Flying J's. I think CAD should add "coolie" to the swear list so it shows up in different symbols. Its old and we get it.

Never work Bandit. Besides, you skim over the posts without realizing that the "scumbag" reference was aimed directly at the coolie carriers. I stop at the Flying J on occasion. You are either trying to take take literary license with the posts, or you don't understand them.

1/4 the paycheck. I have to admit that it made me chuckle. It would be arrogant and humorous............but since it is not based on fact, it kinda falls flat. Nice one thoug

Ironically, I did find it rather arrogant of Koolnajj to be sitting in the red hot box, collecting all of that rather generous Crete layover pay while showing his intelligentsia here, while sweating it out in a puddle of piss, probably at the Carney Point FLYING J. Is that why he is always in such a good mood? Hell, Tom Clancy just might opt to write his next novel in a Crete red hot box for the kind of money that Crete pays for hoboing around for the weekend at the Carney Point hook. What a deal!! Where do I sign up?

Sirius 80's Channel is on. I would like to dedicate this song to Koolnajj, hoboing around a filthy truck stop somewhere(s)......................

I'm livin in a box
I'm livin in a cardboard box
I'm livin in a box
I'm livin in a cardboard box FOR FREE

OK sports fans. Time for this coolie to head out and deliver some gasoline and pick up my 1/4 paycheck. Be back tonight. XOXOXOXO

Oh yes, to all of you big money OTR types. Why the fascination with the 1/2 paycheck statement? How about some comments on Big Jeep on 44's statement?

Better yet Jay B. Why not put that hobo in the dump truck!

I had a brief flash this afternoon while passing through Burlington, Indiana. It involved our very own Billy Jack BBR, Koolnaaj (the coolie formerly known as Karnajj). See if this strikes a chord:

Door flies open on that filthy red goat pen masquerading as a CMV. Our Koolnajj comes bumbling out of the door, resplendent in his "yellow to the front, brown to the rear" sweatpants, 3 for $10 form-fitting pot belly tee shirt from the J ,a second hand pair of Bozo the Clown shoes.

Koolnajj the Clown begins to warm up with a series of faux martial arts moves that can best be described as Elvis Presley/Dirk Diggler style as he huffs and puffs on a couple of Chesterfield Kings.

Koolnajj the Clown begins his one man 'tour de force" ass kicking show. A whole truck stop takes an ass kicking. The National Guard is alerted. The national alert level goes to RED. Etc, etc, etc.

Good luck Jay B. I'm from West Virginia in case you need some back up from Koolnajj the Coolie. Be there in an instant. But, I feel very positive about you having the situation in hand.

Only problem with Koolnajj's plan is that little problem with layover pay while kicking all of these asses. More specifically? He doesn't get any. Ever. Never. Ever.

[BanditsCousin]

Well, belpre, I can appreciate that. "Coolie" carriers suck, but those that stick with them makes them just as bad.

Dang it, Belpre!!! What in the heck have I done NOW???

resplendent in his "yellow to the front, brown to the rear" sweatpants, 3 for $10 form-fitting pot belly tee shirt from the J

Now, that's funny right there! :wink:

Seriously.....you said:

Never work Bandit. Besides, you skim over the posts without realizing that the "scumbag" reference was aimed directly at the coolie carriers. I stop at the Flying J on occasion. You are either trying to take take literary license with the posts, or you don't understand them.

And there was ONE reference to scumbag CARRIERS, but when someone later says something else about "the scumbags," and Mackman says something about "when will the coolies learn?" and then slodsm says:

"Then I walk into the Flying J, there is only one full set of teeth in the room (combined amongst everyone) and it smells like some of the bad days in Iraq when no one had been able to shower for a week.

Why do I love this so damn much 90% of the time yet have to be surrounded by people who could care less about their hygiene, their filthy mouths in front of the waitresses...."

It DOES seem at times like some of you can't keep from blurring the lines between the companies that you object to ..... and the average OTR driver found in a truckstop.

I've been out there for a few years, and I've seen a FEW really bad ones.... but, this is going a bit far as to the type of truckers usually sitting around ANY of the major truckstop chains! MOST of the drivers I see in the restaurants at the "J" or Petro, for instance, seem to have JUST gotten out of the shower!! :shock:

And MOST of them really DO have all their teeth!

I really don't care whether you lighten up on the coolie CARRIERS or not! But, you guys COULD cut some of your FELLOW truck drivers some slack! YOU.... and some of the others..... DO sound like intelligent people. But, perhaps a refresher course in English COMPOSITION is in order. In other words.... it's all in HOW you tell your story!! :wink:

[belpre122]

I gave your post some serious thought Golfhobo.

They are like moths to a flame. The OTR coolie carrier, hobohemia apologists are not required to read any thread. Especially the threads that they know are possibly going to rub them the wrong way.

Just skip over it! I do it all of the time when I see the OTR denizens luring unsuspecting recruits to their life of bondage and irrational justifications.

Golfhobo. They are addicted. Not my fault. Just brush it off if you see that I am actively on a thread.

I'm not changing or altering anything. Lastly;

Irregular-route coolie carrier OTR trucking sucks! Get out now! If not for self, then for the family at home.

[MartenDrvrCA]

When you continue to use the word "Coolie" it comes across as an insult to any otr drivers.

Not all OTR drivers are coolies. I dont think walmart drivers are coolies. The only person the word coolie my insult are ones that think they are coolies. Which is 95% of OTR drivers. I cant help it if they want to work for peanuts. Like LBJ said The truth hurts. But i can see some people cant handle the truth. So keep on trucking for your pennys a mile.

Bold talk from someone who can't hold a job for more than a few months at a time. If you can't handle that part of the industry that's your problem. Keep your **** opinions to yourself. Nobody has commented on the fact that you are a lowly dump truck driver.

I can tell you have no clue what your talking about. Lets see in AUG i will be at my job for 1 year. Before that i worked a Venezia who paid coolie wages for 3 weeks. Unlike you i think my time is worth more then coolie money. Before that i worked on tugs for about 2 months and just didnt like the job. The job before that i was there 2.5 years driving tankers. This lowly dump truck driver makes about 1k a week and works a whole lot less hours then you for it.

When will the COOLIES LEARN

Lowly dump truck driver? Gosh my feelings are hurt because sometimes I have to move piles of dirt around the county.
Today they even made me drive the water truck. Boo hoo, I am so ashamed that someone might see me. It was horrible, I had to wait in my truck for a couple of hours between sprays and I forgot to pick up a newspaper this morning on the way to work and had to read yesterdays news WHILE GETTING PAID.
Sure I prefer to drive one of the lowboys, but I am the new driver and can and will drive anything the company has.

And the best part? I get to come home every day and play with my baby and sleep with my wife. Who is sleeping with your wife while you spend weeks at a time sleeping in urine drenched parking lots wishing the company you drive for would buy APUs, Karnajj?

Zing!lol.That one was brutal.lol Sad but true. Wouldnt pay any mind to that karnajj fellow,seems like a frustrated young lad,always has some smart ass reply for someone.Reaaaaallllll tough guy

[BanditsCousin]

True, but look at your name (MartenDrvrCA) and look what thread you're under :wink:

[MartenDrvrCA]

True, but look at your name (MartenDrvrCA) and look what thread you're under :wink:

I ran local pretty much my whole term at marten.Either off salary or percentage.And before that I was los angeles regional,never ran over 150 away from the terminal.And will never go OTR AGAIN not sure what your point was,but none the less happy monday

[Orangetxguy]

LOL

I worked "Local", for 18 years. Started at the bottom of the board at both companies i worked for those 18 years. One a common carrier, te other a major oil cmpany. My last 5 years at the oil company, I made a crap-pot more money per year, than some of these "Local" proponents on this thread. I was also pretty unhappy, those last 5 years,and was thrilled when BP offered a "Package".

The last few years I have been driving regional OTR, and seeing places I have never seen before, and places I haven't seen since the early 80's. I'm also much happier...and making even better money.....now!
However..in 05 and 06...as a company driver working mostly local..the money sucked.

Since Tuesday, when I left the house for this stint out in the system, I have grossed over $11,000, spent 4 nights in motels, delivered 2 loads, had load #3 delivered by a Hattiesburg "local" driver(of which I will net $1,450), while I picked up load #4, which I deliver at 8am in Wichita. After deadheading to St Louis tomorrow after my delivery..I will have traveled all of 3400 miles, making that money. I'm going to have spent between fuel, meals and rooms, license & insurance, and "local delivery fee right around $5,800.

Ya'al that have fallen in love with the "Coolie" phrase need to reconsider the fervent condemnation you espouse here. Ya'al are forgetting that without all those "Coolie" jobs you disdain so much...(Ya'al have what you consider to be the only "decent" truckin job on the road)....Ya'al just wouldn't be making the kind of moeny Ya think ya make...because all them drivers for all those "coolie" companies....they would be at home, competeing for those same jobs ya'al are so proud of. If that were the case...just how much money do ya'al think you would be making...and how many weekends would ya'al have to work to make it??

Something to consider don't ya'al think?

Oh yes...I am running a bit tight on HOS, so have had to layover, to aquire the hours to deliver tomorrow, so I am still 300 miles from the delivery...but I can live with that, considering the rate for the load ($3.18 per mile, on 818 loaded miles, + FSC of $1.05 a mile).

Right now...I can live with OTR, such as it is.

[belpre122]

I was also pretty unhappy, those last 5 years,and was thrilled when BP offered a "Package".

That's not what they're calling it in Indy, Stan.

Tell everyone over at 'Washington Works' that I said hello. :wink:

[belpre122]

And Stan. Tell all of that to Big Jeep on 44's. I'm sure that he would be in conjugal agreement about the lovely life of a coolie carrier OTR driver.

".heck they sat me in Dallas Tx for 2 days of 100 degree weather ,and they expect no idilng ,and don't do buiness with ide aire b/c they are both chapter 11...they offer no alteratives to get a/c in the summer and heat in the winter without idiling the truck ...they wrote me up for idiling 8hrs day while sleeping because it's more than 3.5hrs allowed ...in order to not get wrote up again i paid $140.00 for 2 days in a motel ,and then i get qualcomm message stating goo job your idle is down ...no ***** sherlock !."

Recheck your post Stan. I think that you may have succeeded in making the coolie carrier driver feel worse than he has ever felt before. Ya'al :wink:

This a man with a brain. Thanks for your post, but your words of wisdom will fall of deaf (possibly handicapped) ears. Unfortunately it seems people like you dont post as much as the local punk(s). Id love to see more of your opinions/facts/experiances as well as Skywalker, Cyanide among others.

Good! Thank you! I'm sorry for the UNPAID effort! :wink:

They are like moths to a flame.

I understand this, as it concerns the NEWBIES that enter the industry, and follow the advice of their school recruiters and the magazines! But, we are here to HELP them.... not to condemn!

The OTR coolie carrier, hobohemia apologists are not required to read any thread. Especially the threads that they know are possibly going to rub them the wrong way.

But, they DO.... and so do the newbies who are looking for TRUTH and not just "opinion." {and those of us who are bored!}

Just skip over it! I do it all of the time when I see the OTR denizens luring unsuspecting recruits to their life of bondage and irrational justifications.

If you have a problem with a RECRUITER.... by all means, call him out! But, I haven't seen you miss a SINGLE "meal" here in the last week or so! If a NEWBIE asks about a "coolie carrier," I'm sure someone here will warn him off! They've been doing it for YEARS before either of US joined this forum! As for me? I will NOT "skip over" what I consider to be an injustice! Get USED TO IT!

Golfhobo. They are addicted. Not my fault. Just brush it off if you see that I am actively on a thread.

The ONLY "addiction" I've seen here in the years I've been on this board, is that of the succophants who have annointed the GRINCH as the KING!

I'm not changing or altering anything. Lastly;
Irregular-route coolie carrier OTR trucking sucks! Get out now! If not for self, then for the family at home.

Not all of us HAVE family at home! So.... we do what we do for ourselves... and with our OWN MIND and decisions! Who are YOU, or anyone ELSE, to tell us what is right for us?

"Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son." Dean Wermer (not aimed at you personally Ghobo)

So, you're assuming that ONLY OTR drivers can be FAT? Or Drunks? Or Stupid? I got NEWS for you! MOST drivers who actually DO have a drinking problem.... are LOCAL! That way they can go home at night and drink until time to go to work again! [And hope no one in their company notices or CARES!] And, YES.... I have proof!

They can't HANDLE 5-14 days on the road without a beer (except for the occaisonal layover!) FAT?? Well, there ARE alot of them! But, for the LIFE of me, I can't tell whether they are OTR or just local drivers who like the food at the buffet! :wink:

Stupid? Yeah.... sure..... there are WAY too many drivers with a license to be STUPID!! But.... not ALL are OTR! This week alone, I've seen news reports of a LOCAL tanker driver who got stuck on the RR tracks and cut in half by a Train..... and another (driver) who spilled a load of chickens on I-40 in Tennessee. And then there's the guy who got fired for harrassing 4wheelers on I-85 and he was only a few miles from HOME!
