I'm actually turning a profit now. My operating costs are $1.01 without a salary. If I take Rev's salary of $0.667 and I run for an average or $2.00 per mile then I'm making a profit of $.032 per mile. (I rounded).

Keep talking Rev, I'm getting richer.

Ok, time for a drink so I gotta shut my laptop off

Time to get back to sewing.

Well, actually I've tucked away a tidy sum and in another year I will have enough to pay for the same priced truck again.

But chances are the finite life of my truck will be close to my finite life with my own authority. Not sure what I'll do. If I can still drive at 65 then maybe I'll drive for someone else. or

Hi, welcome to Walmart.

I doubt they would ever hire a retired Trucker. You'll either scare the kids, or say something perv to the fat chicks. :P

You can always team with Pepe. Tell him to come back to the board so Charged can take a break. :lol:

Hi Welcome to Walmart kids, watch out for the brain eating monster in the odd isles facing West. Have fun.

Hi Welcome to Walmart. Please be careful walking between the isles and try to turn sideways when doing so.

I dunno. Charged has not gone down yet and I think the ref's have scored the last few rounds either in his favor or at least 3 3 on the 3 point must system.

Then the referees are just as delusional as he is.
