Or they make more money doing something else :wink:

Does that mean you would not pull a REEFER... Loaded with 6 swinging bottles of NITRO??? Even with the reefer set down to -30 (that's F, not C) The pay for that is good too. I guess that would amount to SIX liquid bombs. Just 6 - 1 quart bottles.

I've never even considered pulling a reefer. The few times I do go to grocery warehouses are too many times for me.

I'LL pull a reefer with six piddly bottles of nitro! Heck....fill 'er UP!! I'm fearless! I know that "I" am the ONLY driver that I would trust to pull whatever lethal junk you GOT.... and not spill it! Not saying others aren't safe with it.... just I know what "I" can do! :wink:

Of course, some construction crane could FALL on me and blow us all up, or some FOOL shop mechanic might not "service" the reefer like he IS PAID TO DO and it might fail enroute and kill millions of Twilight's extended family..... but, that is not MY fault! :lol:

I only know that "I" will not be the one to make the fatal mistake! We can ONLY be responsible for our OWN actions and dedication to our jobs. If anyone knows a company begging to pay big bucks for a driver with NO FAMILY who will take a risk.... let me know!

Heck..... I'd even drive the dang rig into a LAKE if necessary, to save others' lives at the cost of my own! I'm a FEARLESS man! :wink:

BUT..... I wanna be paid BIG cpm, cuz the miles will probably be low. And, I want my truck to go FAST!! (so I can spend MORE free time on laundry and truckstop video games!)

MY Momma didn't raise no fool!!! :shock: :roll: :lol: :lol:

[Well.... she DID.... actually..... but THAT would be my BROTHER! :lol: ]
