THE LEPER COLONY AND LYING COCKSUCKERS

I've been in this industry since 1977. It is still as stupid now in 2007 as it was back then. A CFO I once spoke to called trucking the "leper colony." He was so right. We are surrounded by idiots. Mojo Nixon, before he got thrown off the Sirius airwaves, called "them" morons and lying cocksuckers. Again, right on.

Shippers and receivers are lazy and don't give a shit - especially about the distribution of their own products. Just throw it on the truck and let the driver take care of it. And the carriers say and do nothing because they want the business.

Overweight loads? Shippers MUST be held responsible - and no one else! Ever pick up a load and have to drive 75 miles or more to a legal scale? It happens to me all the time. If I have to drive back I want that "shipper" to pay mileage and detention and an overweight fine. You're telling me these lazy lying cocksuckers don't know how much their product weighs? Bullshit!

Mexicans? They're all over the damn place. I don't give a rats ass. They're certainly more motivated to load or unload my truck than most of the lazy chain smoking rednecks and black old farts that don't give a shit. I could even learn a little Spanish. But, if you're not in my country legally, then get out. Who should be held responsible? The companies that hire these folks of course. Fine and arrest the managers and owners. Free all the prostitutes and grass smokers and give the cells to these lying cocksuckers. And I totally support local and state law enforcement to have the authority to arrest illegals.

We all know that the DOT and Homeland Security (a "Bushism" I hate) is comprised of morons and pinheads. Ever go through that boondoggle called the "agriculture checkpoint" at the Florida borders. One of my goals this year is to see that flatbed trucks never have to stop here again. They should stick to what I paying taxes for them to do - check horses for ticks and flowers for bugs. The ports are a complete joke.

How about the weigh stations in North Carolina?Are they kidding? They haven't been updated since the 60's. Hey, we have Pre Pass now. Even L-o-u-i-s-i-a-n-a has a better system. How about the NC rest areas? When is this loon backwater yokel state going to get their act together? Here's a idea - close all the NC weigh stations forever. The DOT employees can get jobs cleaning the toilets in the new larger rest areas. The NC state police will have to stop masturbating inside while pretending to weigh trucks and get out there and catch illegals.

Was it Shakespeare who said kill all the lawyers? That's fine with me, but let's also get rid of every security moron masking as a shipping and receiving department employee. Every company I pull into that has security I know straight away will be screwed up. The folks that work in security have to be the dumbest shits on the planet. At the top of the list is Wal-Mart!

And, pleese, let's not forget one of the most idiotic ideas of the decade - Idle Aire. What were these folks thinking? Want to improve the environment at truck stops? Hang plants and flowers from those Idle Aire ugly "structures." T/A must have used a ton of money to assist in this boondoggle rather than repair what are the worst parking lots in the industry.

Jesus, we need one giant courtesyflush!

Hate the politicians? You put them there. Didn't vote? Screw you. You want change? Get off your ass and work for it.

Be safe out there, stop tailgating and stay off the Cee Bee. Buy a satellite radio, listen to NPR and learn a thing or two.

I'M BACK AND SURROUNDED BY MORONS!

It was a couple of days after one of the worst ice storms Oklahoma City. A moron of the female persuation almost ended my trucking career. I'll just tell you that she "decided" to come to a dead stop on the interstate, on ice, and, well we "met." The only place this moron belonged was at home doing the laundry or making her husband, a truck driver, dinner. He told her not go to out. And I should have stayed at the Flying J on the other side of town, safe and sound, before my company threatened me to go pick up a load going to NYC, or "else." As I was sitting in a motel room waiting for my truck to be repaired, I debated whether or not to ever get in a truck again. I did, and here I am sitting at the stink'n Flying J just west of Little Rock, AR.

In the interim, about two weeks ago, I had to pick up a load of lumber at the "port", just south of Cape Kennedy, FL. At the front gate, looking at the cargo sitting in a dirt lot less than 100 yards away, I had to have my truck searched, my background checked and my body scanned for weapons. Osama must be laughing his ass off in the back woods of Pakistan watching this shit. This is absolute pure bullshit nonsense, and as far am I'm concerned, the folks at Homeland Security are morons. If I wanted to blow up the damn port, then all I would have to do is strap some explosives to my fat ass and simply walk through the OPEN UNGUARDED GATE to the really big cruise ship and blow my %^&*'in self up. What the hell are you searching me for? Screw the port and Homeland Security!

And, until the next time I post, what is with these weigh stations that have Pre Pass but don't turn it on? What is your problem sweetheart? Isn't it enough that you morons have idiotic jobs? Daddy, what do you do? Well Johnny, I sit on my ass all day and weigh trucks. Assholes.
