I am now a local driver for a company that caters to the area
manufacturers.
Since this is the heart of the "dairy land", and also potatoe country, we
have many companies that dabble in various food products.
This particular company I now work for, runs a bit of an odd schedule for
trucking.
We start the day off at 0600 and we're done by 1400 and sometimes sooner.
Driving about 200 miles a day locally on an average.
For pay, we get paid on a percentage based on what the load pays.
For bulk stuff, like potatoes, it's based on the "hundred weight".
So the more you haul per load, the more you get paid. Keeping it legal of
course.
One driver was telling me they have a load that goes from here to Beloit,
Wi. and the driver gets $300.
Both ways.
If that were paid by the mile, you would only see about $150 round trip.
So now I'm home every night and may some times work on Saturday depending
on
needs.
Boring boring boring. But beats the OTR rat race.
So, when you post at say, 9AM, then you are lying? Pay per potato weight,
Bullis? You must be proud. And how will you ever find the time to invent
your wheel?

Bullis inventing the wheel. That's a scary thought. Imagine human society
as nothing more than hairy apes clubbing each other with tree limbs.

Unlikely. Bullis would have Darwined the species while simultaneously
ensuring that only fungus would be the dominant lifeform.

Perhaps you should take up the spelling lesson with VP Dan Quayle.
Remember
him?
http://www.capitalcentury.com/1992.html
Many of the major dictionaries define potato, and potatoe.
After all, the plural is potatoes, not potatos.
Bullis, please refrain from giving spelling or reading comprehension
lessons.
Web Results 1 - 100 of about 104,000 English pages for potatoe.
All mispelled, St00pid, same as you did.
"and also( potatoe )country"
And this is how you spell potato?
And this must be the way you drive...hold on a second you don't drive!
So I guess a spelling error would be inline with how you keep a
imaginary job!
And for boring....your constant posts on you having a new job
and knowing everything about everything...now that's boring!

One would expect nothing less from "proof" offered by Bullis.

No, but we can look forward to reports of Bullis teetering around on his
motorized Magic Wheel contraption, made from giant antique bicycle wheels
and garden hose, around the new Bullis Cement Home (not concrete, St00pid
knows the difference and he means *cement*) once he gets the trailer paid
off in seven more years, while he makes up new words to the trucking version
of "Home on the Range" ( I'm not kidding; this is the most retarded thing
I've ever heard Bullis say) while he hides out from Usenet at Truck.net
during the day as a cover for this pretend potato delivery job, waiting for
Ma Bullis to die so he can get the cash to sue everybody.
