Short week <------- DUH!, who'd have guessed LOL

[Cainman]

Got two loads monday and called it a day.
Tuesday got two loads and a short road trip to beloit and back.
On the way back, busted a water hose.
My two dispatchers just happened to be coming back from beloit as well

and

saw me on the side.
They had a tow truck bring me another tractor and we swapped on the

shoulder

at 0100 hours in the morning. Real fun day.
By the time we got done with that, I was to damn tired to go anywhere

so

I

parked it at the truckstop for the morning and headed in after I got

up.

So on Wednesday, I got 3 loads. First load was 96,000. Didn't weigh the
second load.
Third load showed 100,000.
Asked the #1 dispatcher what exactly the company policy was on being
overweight.
"Company policy? Just don't get caught."
I didn't do anything different with these loads that I hadn't done

before

so

why the extra weight?
"Could be any number of reasons. Like having tons of water in them."
This is one good reason why the trucks should have on board scales on

them.

None of the farms have scales so we don't know for sure until we get to

the

plant.
In the mean time, you could get stopped and checked.

BWAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAH, looks like the Potatoes Express isn't what you

trumped

it up

to be is it?

It's getting close to the time when the processing plants will shut down

for

the summer.
You can't survive hauling just potatoes anyway.
The company will haul practically anything anywhere just like anything

else.

We are licensed for 48 states so we're not limited to do just one thing.
With this area being big on paper and cheese, those two items get shipped
year round.
Just so happens that potatoes are a big item when they need them.

So... you'll be dead soon?

And hire practically anyone anywhere.

Then they laughed like hell and let you stew for awhile. Especially

since

you're known as the "tattletale" of the business.

Oh fuck off, liar.

If I sat here and wrote the world's biggest lie, you'd sit there and say

"oh

fuck off liar", which means I told the truth.

Hey Captain Kirk, you're no good at logic, so don't bother trying mmmmkay?
You're a compulsive liar, Bullis. I know that and everybody else knows
that.
