3) 17 Werner tshirts and 15 Gainey tshirts.

4) A L/P contract from J.B. Hunt?

5) Every Celine Dion record ever made

Well, I gotta get going.

After I saw you had the complete Village People music catalog I didnt look any further. I was just glad I found the place. Just how many times HAVE you backed over your mailbox? The mail lady had to bring your Netflix selection of "IN and Out" right up to the house because you mailbox was so flat she couldnt slide it in there.

Well folks I'm psyched about this employment prospect with Werner ,as these weekly consistant good checks were just taking their toll on me ,and now I feel like I got a new LEASE on life ,and wait just a minute speaking of LEASE I do think I'll be calling fleet sales monday so I can get extra broke extra fast as a Werner O/O .


DISCLAIMER...DISCLAIMER...DISCLAIMER...This post is only real as far as welcome to return everything else is sarcasm ,and would only be true if Big Jeep started smoking crack/meth with the rest of Werners toothless ex drug addict gra gar shop staff .
Aw man you owe me a new laptop and keyboard after I spit beer all over from laughing so hard! :clap::lol:

Former Big Blue Screw driver myself. What a cut-rate, low-ball, underhanded trucking company that was. I started as a driver, trained, even bought a trick and hired on with them. Best move of my life was getting away from that den of thieves. How they sleep at night up there in Omaha is a mystery to me. Heard all the top brass were cut some big fat bonus checks from old man CL this year. Must be nice. Too bad the drivers got zilch.

So you got a local job huh? Smart move. I'm looking for one myself. I ran under my own flag for awhile but there's no money in being an independent anymore, at least no good money. Too many O/O willing to pay the shipper to haul freight. Too many cut-throat brokers. Government talking about hooking-up an EOBR in your truck. Just not worth it anymore.

I thought that was funny with the bonus checks b/c back when I was with Werner any time a driver mentioned low CPM and lack of miles management immediately pointed out "we're in a recession ,and we're all struggling " ...I never did buy that line of s h ! t ,and then this year after some of the highest fuel prices and slow freight CL found an extra million to pass out around those already making good $$$ ,but the drivers are still at .26 cpm on 48/can ,and probably got a thank you message via QC from CL .

Oh the mailbox ...my nextdoor neighbor drives for Swift and parks the bobtail at the house ,and the postal employee that delivers my mail is a dude with long hair...How long have you been on the road without home time ? But I must confess I can't get enough of that YMCA .

Jumbo, you are indeed a selfless trucker! As a tribute to you, for your service in helping save Big Jeep............I snapped this photo for you (left- handed reverse.) The true, one and only Racing Capital of the World!

Belpre, I am a great humanitarian. Saving Big Jeep was only part of my day. I also got a cat out of a tree (used a shotgun). Now where did I put that peace prize thing?
