299 smelly drivers. I showered.

Yeah and stop flirting with the fuel desk girl she's not interested.

I stood behind one guy at the fuel stop up from our terminal and listened for about 3 minutes while he put the moves on my friend. When he finally got to the question "so do you have a boyfriend" I piped up "she sure does and as soon as you move your ass she is going to get to talk to him". After he left she explained that he had been in the store about 3 times already that day hanging around the counter.

Wow,took ALMOST 30 minutes to do a drop and hook. Man i hope your day doesnt get any harder lol. You make it sound like this guy did everything but slash your tires to slow you down and then you end the story by saying it took you almost 30 minutes. You were able to get there,drop one,hook one, do a walk around pre-trip on the new load,update your log book and swap out whatever paper work was involved and wait and still got out after less than 30 minutes. man this guy must have really been talking up a storm and making you wait. 30 minutes lol You should be ashamed of this story if you were still able to get everything done 30 minutes.

lets see, i had no paperwork till i got back to the guard shack, my logbook i do on my laptop, so its as easy as a point and click.

the point of the story was how this driver was CLUELESS as to the fact that i was behind him, and yet he CONTINUED to chat up a storm. I've learned my lesson....next time i'm in that situation, i will walk straight up to him and say, "dude.....MOVE YOUR $#!T"

are we in middle school here?

Kevin,
Life is to short to let the little sh.t bother you...
to many people are in a hurry, GOT TO GO , GOT TO GO!!!!!
Maybe it is just me and my old age of 46 but I just look at things now with a view of I like to work smarter not harder. It seems to me if you are stressing over some guy Bull Sh.tting then you are working harder as you're mind will be caused to exert more energy during the time you are angry or frustrated or just concentrating on the current situation. Then you have to count the time you spent mulling over this guy to include all the time it took you to post you're frustrations. You're brain had to work overtime to adjust you're mindset to deal with this situation, All for what?????
You let a perfect stranger control a portion of you're life for a matter of two or three days just because he was not paying attention to what was behind him but rather enjoying some meanless conversation with another human being..
Come on Kevin you can not sit here and say you have never ever ever done the same thing before...
That is kind of like saying, I have never masturbated before...
My dad always told me there are two types of liars in this world..
The one that says he never has, and the one that says he does not have too..

Timberwolf

Timberwolf...i think you are wrong. Not only do i think he can say it, I think he will say it. :block:

I'd tell you straight to your face, i have never bull s*itted with a security guard, held up the line just to finish my story. I dont get paid to make a friend in the security office. I might pop off a joke or something, but to sit there, and talk about the real meaning behind The DeVinci Code, and other movies worth seeing like a bad episode of Siskel and Ebert....come on.....i'm not that dumb. I like to get my crap taken care of, get my load and get on the road. If i want to kill time discussing the ramifications of what the country would have been like had the Union won the civil war.....i'd park my truck in a truck stop, and go in and wash my clothes and THEN strike up that conversation.

I think the Union did win the Civil War.

Shows you know your history almost as well as you know trucking.
