    No dysfuctionality with women just dumb ### es.

    Will I kill again? Hmmmm....

    And weighing a body down and putting it in a body of water only leads to getting caught. Putting them.in a plastic tub and pouring acid over it works much better...


    Thanks for the psycho analysis Dr. Phil

    I spent 4 hours waiting on a load to swap at East Saint Louis. Turned out the load was there the entire time. Dispatch gave me wrong trailer #. When I asked for a phone number of the other driver, I kept being told "he's 30 miles out"

    Two misses in a row. Deadheaded all the way to Faribault, MN to pickup a load Monday morning and was told by the shipper that the load was long gone by another carrier. That was the only load we had since it was memorial day so I got a 1500 mile preplan to pickup this morning (Tuesday) in Faribault and was just told that the appointment must be rescheduled since the load was supposed to be picked up on Friday and was a no show. Been waiting for well over an hour now to hear from dispatch as to whats next. At this point I'm just along for the ride waiting for DISP to get me home for T/O.

    Pick up load 1 at 0900, deliver load 1 at 2100, pu ld 2 at 2300? Well if I didn't need time to drive to these places it might be possible..

    The main problem I have with my FM is that he wants me to go to live loads with 1 hour left on my clock. I try to explain to him that I will never get it loaded and out of the place and be parked in a safe place in 1 hour. He insist, so being new I have done it. All three times, my clock expired and I am worried about getting dinged on my logs.

    Not sure how to handle this at USA... Never happened to me a Werner and Swift because they planned for load and unload times better.

    Spend the night at the pu/drop or stay within the town limits. I usually find a nice quite spot on the street by the drop or a local walmart/meijer

    It will happen all the time here at USA so get use to it. It's not been much of a problem for me though since I've always been more inclined to say screw the logs and go for the load.
