Thanks everyone for the "welcome back"...........actually, I have been busier than a pair of jumper-cables at a "Somali" funeral the past few months and haven't had the time to visit many, if any trucking boards at all............with all this "trickle up poverty and Fascism' the people decided we needed and voted in, I decided if I'm gonna work driving, I may as well be paid a half-way descent wage for it, so after 4-years I quit hauling flowers on a seemingly "part-time" basis and went with an "Intermodal Isotank" hauler about 16 months ago full time, except I do take a week off every 6-weeks.........enjoying it and have been extremely busy "Tanker yankin".

I read somewhere a signature line I totally agree with........."If it don't come out of a hose, it ain't worth haulin"

Jeff, I unloaded 6000 gallons of 100% Latex a couple of weeks ago in your area around Dalton, GA at a textile plant there..............thought about you, also when I head to or through New Orleans, looks much better than right after Katrina.........unfortunately, many are still waiting on the Federal Government to tell what to do and nothing has changed except the day and year.

TW.....how's that "hope and change" workin for ya?? lol

good to be back.

Josh,

Latex is an import that is vital to our industry ( what is left of it :roll: ). Give me a shout next time your up this way and I'll spring for coffee or what ever. I got plenty of money! Orangetxguy paid the last time!!! :lol:

Josh, I can understand the last 18 months or so, but what about the other 28 months? I can't remember when I read a post from you last. Was beginning to think you left this world or something. About every 6 months or so, drop us a one-liner... "Yes, I'm still around, guys."

So, are you "back", back, or just stopping in to disappear again for a couple of years?

Oh Josh,
You must have me confused with some other pseudo liberal / conservative wannabe.... Remember I am dysenfranchised and have been for many years now. If you ask me or anyone who knows me, I gave up hope for change and lost confidence in our government many eons ago. It does not matter which side does what as they all suck in my opinion they have their own agendas and they mostly look out for themselves before their constituents, not to mention the fact that all of them point the finger at the other side for BS that they are all guilty of doing themselves at one time or another, it is a fricking joke!!! So as I have said for many years now "It Is What It Is" the Governering leaders are free to do what they like as we all know they will despite what side you are on, and despite how you may feel about it. I will continue to live out my life with my family as they are the ones who will be beside me on my death bed...
The rest of you who enjoy this type of BS back and forth governermental banter are free to obtain all the grey hairs that come from stress and argueing. Myself I am going to enjoy my long dark locks for as long as I can, only a few greys in my head and they come from my 14 & 23 year old daughters. (rightfully so)

Rev is it not a good feeling to know that all your children find their way home.

Welcome home Josh....



there is no place like home.

I was in Jacksonville over the weekend. I had lunch at the TA across from where you and I met a while back. I was wondering what you have been up to.
