NOW you're thinking straight! My first thought upon reading of your circumstances was that SURELY you could still get a LOCAL (wuss) job! :lol2:

Or drive a DUMP! :rofl:

Who or what is a SHINER?

Who or what is a PRADE?

I know what a PARADE is. :lol:

I wish I was a podiatrist! I'd make a fortune extracting bullets out of the feet of most of the drivers on this board! :lol2::moon:

YOU KILLED A TULIP!!!! You must be on that FBI list of Serial Tulip Killers! You keep firing yourself, but WHY do you keep hiring yourself back?! Worst of all though I feel so bad for that poor tulip.

I need to quit posting after logging some line 5 time...

As I sit looking all around,
Confusion and uncertainty is all I found.
The answers are there,
But I do not know where.
Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
Are all I have so it seems.
The future I do not know,
So all I can do is take it slow.
But I do know it will work out,
So I wait and watch without a doubt.

Yeah right. Neither one of you could handle local or a dump. Pulling doubles for Fedex Ground in a large car. There's a tough job! Would you guys even know how to hook your own set? :rofl:

First a cross country team drop n hook operation and now a kick back FDX gig. If local or dumps truly was a wuss job you can bet Hobo would already be doing it!:rofl:

I WISH I had someone to hook 'em for me! Other than the butthead swap, I hook and break down twice a day! Sometimes even in the RAIN!! :eek2::eek2:

I'll have you know.... that was 3 years of LIVE unloads and backhauls from sometimes up to 5 different produce sheds! All that waiting around to get a dock! Back breaking!

You got THAT right! I ain't humping frozen cases of food all day! And they won't LET me deliver beer to bars! Something about inventory and delays! :hellno:

You think you're funny.... don'tcha??? :moon::lol2:
