BFD [/quote] [b]I drove OTR. When you add up ALL the hours including the ENDLESS hours you sit in LOADING DOCKS on your ass, waiting to get loaded and unloaded by non-English speaking lumpers who take siestas just to piss you off, and trying to dodge scales with overloaded trailers that you don't DARE take back or they'll make you wait ANOTHER couple hours in their loading docks, and then you have the econutsy maniacs who don't want you on [color=darkred]THEIR INTERSTATE[/color] and try to drive you off the road, and you have to almost kill YOURSELF trying to keep from killing them in their little sub-compact cars, and the towns that forbid you to use your noisy engine brake, because it annoys them (but they want your stuff) and ticket you if you idle in sub-freezing temps, because they don't want you polluting [color=darkred]THEIR AIR[/color] with you stinky diesel exhaust, etc, etc, etc... if you add up all the hours you're making less than minumum wage doing a shitty thankless job. I bought a farm, we grow our own food, are as self-sufficient as you can possibly get and screw the rest of you. Also have an arsenal to kill you when you come looking for [color=red]OUR FOOD[/color].[/b] [/quote] You'll run out of ammo eventually. Then I'll pay you a visit. [/quote]
