    What ever it takes to keep navel from meeting spine is OK in my book. I have seen some pretty healthy looking rats in my day!! MMMMM?

    September Banter thread

    The PETA is one bunch of just plain old WACKOS!!! Do I care if the government banned it? Not in your lifetime. If I am hungry and there is a horse, it will get eaten. That is just how it is. PETA my hind leg. Eat the dog too if it did not earn it's keep!! :p

    What is your bottom RPM you will run for.

    No way!!! There is little chance that I would take .90 per mile at ANY time. In fact, there is only one time that I would. IF I really needed to be home and the load took me there I would, only because it would lower the cost of my dead head.

    Horses are good, roasted, fried, broiled etc. :p Their job, which is the same as all other animals in their class, is to consume protein matter that is too difficult for meat eaters to digest, turn it into meat and then have that meat eaten by me!! Then I recycle that protein, it goes back into...

    How the heck are ya Ken? I have yet to have the first cup yet. Turned down one really silly load that would have tied up my truck until Wed for a TOTAL of $700. What a laugh.

    Slimy Cowards

    The so called Bush tax cuts did NOT cause a recession. Allowing people to keep more of their money does NOT decrease business. There is a business cycle. Always has been. The government added to that normal down turn with massive subsidies of the housing market which lead to the crash. The...

    TA Menu and food choices

    Let's see, pay for food that I would never feed a dead dog or pay for food that tastes good and has some nutritional value? Cut portion size, don't force me to pay for an "all you can eat menu" when the first plate is far too big. Even a swill shop like Denny's does a better job than TA does.

    I hear the same stuff. I have been over qualified far too many times. Too old. Twice I was refused work because I was a vet. (many years ago) Now I am under educated. Forget 48 years in the work force, all kinds of experinece. I need a degree in basket weaving. In the mean time we drive, earn...

    "That's a bit too simplistic - it takes more than that, and more than many folks have got to work with." Only if you chose to make it so. That IS how I have lived my life. It is too easy to say the disabled can't. MOST people who are out of work are not disabled. I am a simple man. I don't...

    You misunderstood, I meant that young adults are afraid to leave mommy and daddy for work. I am not any smarter than most, just average. Not stronger or aggressive. I just know that I am responsible for supporting my wife and my self so I finds ways to do it. Always have, always will. I am...

    Why is it that there are only choices between college or manufacturing. What about the trades? Diesel mechanics, auto mechanics, brick layers, electritions, plumbers, undertakers, the list goes on and on. In many cases you can even earn as yoy learn. There are always options. Start you own...

    Used to be also that people only had one car, there was normally one wage earner per family, no cell phones, no cable, shoot, we were amazed with 3 channels!! People today are not happy with a nice little 3 bedroom house like I grew up in. They want "mini-castles" a bedroom for every person, a...

    You must not consider England part of Europe. I know they don't. I have NEVER seen adversarial like what I say between the unions and the companies there. The "spy union", members of the British intell service, had a contract. That contract included taking naps on mid night shifts (no matter...

    OK, now, if a phama company is being struck, the union is picketing, I get a call to pick up 3 skids, TVAL, I am NOT taking their work away, just moving product. Will they let me pass in peace or will they prevent me and my company from doing lawful work? Does me picking up this load constitute...
