    Solar Eclipse - What are you doing?

    That would have been great. I'm sitting here deep in the quarry of a Cemex plant on the northwest side of Brooksville. They aren't open today, but there's are a handful of people in the power plant. What I've is got is going to the quarry. I called my contact name and he's like 'I ain't...

    Solar Eclipse - What are you doing?

    Probably not. I'll most likely deliver (Brooksville) and then head back up towards South Carolina.

    The Trump Card...

    The Mainstream Media (and The Left) is outraged that Trump supporters aren't outraged at Trump. You'd think that after being as stunned, and as wrong, on election night as they were, they would bother to figure out what the heck is going on, to show a little intellectual curiosity. But no...

    Solar Eclipse - What are you doing?

    On a load from Des Moines to just outside Tampa. Eclipses are overrated anyway. I don't even want to see it. Stupid eclipse. But, I deliver Sunday morning, and I may very well drive up so South Carolina, along with everyone who lives east of the Appalachians, from Maine to Key West. The...

    If it runs on diesel, don't call it gas. Call it "diesel," or call it "fuel," or call it "diesel fuel," but don't call it gas. You're about to be a real trucker. Gotta get the real trucker lingo down.

    The Trump Card...

    It's had a major effect. They've managed to convince the world that Steve Bannon is an antisemitic, racist, alt-right white supremacist (even though he's none of those things), and by association have crafted the narrative that Trump is, too. Just because it didn't have a direct effect on the...

    Solar Eclipse - What are you doing?

    I live right in town, but on the south side of town. The house is about 2000 feet south of the edge of the totality line. Just inside the totality line you'll only get a few seconds of a total eclipse, and in the center of it you'll get 2.5 minutes of totality. So just 20 minutes north of the...

    The Trump Card...

    This was supposed to have happened two weeks ago, but Trump decided to listen to members of the Freedom Caucus when they urged him to keep Bannon in after Priebus was fired. I belive that as much as I believe Bannon had no idea that a telephone interview with a liberal news publisher would be...

    The Trump Card...

    It influences the narrative they choose to present, as it vindicates their demonizing of Bannon. They've been going after the people surrounding Trump, one by one, to try and chip away at Trump.

    The Trump Card...

    Steve Bannon voted off the island. This will please the MSM and The Left. They will even characterize it as a victory.

    Yeah, it won't. 10 cents a mile FSC certainly helps with it. But if gas is $2.29 a gallon and you get 17 MPG, then the fuel costs is 13.5 cents a mile.

    The Trump Card...

    SNL's Weekend Update Summer Edition should probably just be renamed SNL's Easy Cheap Shots At Trump, because it's the same, tired old shtick, uncreative and mean-spirited. However, one absolutely brilliant spot was Tina Fey. She's a card-carrying liberal, but she hilariously cut through the...

    Can you imagine what things would be like right now if that women killed by the kook in the Dodge Challenger had been black instead of white? :eek::(

    The Trump Card...

    The push is on for criminalizing hate speech. The problem is, who gets to decide what hate speech is? It inevitably comes down to offensive speech. If we can outlaw hate speech from the right, we can outlaw the hate speech from the left directed towards Trump, as well. Whoops.

    On a 60/40 split, whoever gets the 60% and pays for fuel, the fuel cost is about 20% anyway, so you end up getting 40% and the owner getting 40%. On owner/driver splits, if nobody had to pay for fuel, it would be a 50/50 split, which is essentially what happens with 60/40 with 20 of the 60 going...

    Solar Eclipse - What are you doing?

    As I traveled along I-40 ({edit: I-70}) across Missouri, the entire length of which is pretty much in the path of totality, instead of Amber Alerts or clever messages about buckling up or not using cell phones, it was all April 21 Eclipse, Expect Heavy Traffic. I read an article the other day...

    No, instead of actually being helpful, it's Ntimevan making a joke about illegal alien human smuggling.
