Sorry, but

I just don't have any more space in my already crowded mind to have any concern whatsoever for the folks out there in California. Pres. Bush does not speak for me when he says "everyone" feels for...bla bla bla - I don't. Every year California burns and then floods, burns and floods and on occasion shakes. If you don't want to burn, flood or shake - don't live there! It reminds me of the people that live off the Passaic River in NJ. Every year when it rains it floods. Don't live there. Don't like hurricanes? I recommend you move from Key West or New Orleans elsewhere. You're not my problem. You're your problem. I am concerned about how many miles I drive to pay my bills, I'm concerned about my family and their welfare, I'm concerned about Iraq, I'm concerned about what our government is going to screw up next, I'm concerned about having enough money to buy Christmas presents, concerned about fixing up my house, concerned about the environment, about animals, about why my Verizon cell service sucks, about my 80 year old mother and about 100 other things...but not the "wildfires" in California or the folks that have lost their homes. Besides, Pres. Bush says he's gonna "take care" of you. Did ya hear that Katrina victims? ** both photos from Reuters and Xinhual/Reuters.

You are a moron...part 2...if

you have any kind of moustache. This photo off the Wikipedia site is typical of the drivers I see everywhere. News flash fellas - you look like morons. Women don't like them, gays love 'em - why in the hell would you want to look like this? That Nascar driver you love to worship so much had one and he looked like a moron. I never met any man who sported any kind of stache that I liked or could trust. It is clear that those of you with these evil disgusting caterpillars below your nose have some type of mental problem. Maybe you think you're cool? You're not. Tough? Ya right. Moron? That's right!

You are a moron...part 1...if

You smoke. With the price of a carton of the major brands about $35, you can get cheaper brands - like the ones pictures to the left - for about $9.95 a carton. I want you to buy as many of these cheaper cancer sticks as possible and smoke frequently - that way you will die the horrible death you deserve and there will be more freight for me to haul.

Shame on the Bush Administration...

From the Nov. '07 issue of Vanity Fair, an piece by Chris Hitchens: "A Death in the Family" - "Lieutenant (Mark) Daily crossed from Kuwait to Iraq in November 2006, where he would be deployed with the "C", or "Commanche," of Company of the Seventh Cavalry Regiment - General Custer's old outfit - in Mosul. On the 15th of January last, he was on patrol and noticed that the Humvee in front of him was not properly "up-armored" against I.E.D's. He insisted on changing places and taking a lead position in his own Humvee, and was shortly afterward hit by an enormous buried mine that packed a charge of some 1,500 pounds of high explosive." Daily, 3 other American soldiers and an Iraqi interpreter were killed. The photo is one of a series I took of a Humvee (without proper armor protection) I recently transported. It was off loaded and put into a large muddy field along side other destroyed Humvee's.

This makes me sick...

I just completed delivery of a Humvee that was shipped back to the US from Iraq. The right side was (as you can see) damaged by machine gun fire. There is heavy armor on both sides of the vehicle - in fact, the doors are so heavy, I had trouble closing them shut. I had to use a ratchet strap to keep them closed. The glass is bullet proof. The glass above around the turret is not. The tires are not. And - see the left photo - the bottom is not. It is total susceptible to any kind of I.E.D - the improvised explosive devices we hear so much about in the news. This lack of armor is why our young men and women are losing their arms, legs and lives. This vehicle is an embarrassment to our country. We should be ashamed to give this to our military. This very expensive piece of machinery is useless.

I always find...

unusual stuff outside my door when I wake up in the morning. Condoms are the most common. This morning at the FJ in Texarcana there was this needle. I rolled it over with my foot and saw that it was insulin for diabetes.
I can only assume that a driver used it sometime during the night - threw it out the window - and it rolled near my door. Perhaps I should be glad that it was not heroin or so other illegal substance. It sure would be nice if the user (the driver) would have thrown it out at the many trash bins throughout the parking lot.

Cars, motorcycles, RV's, etc....

are driving me crazy. For me, it is one of the prime reasons I'm seriously thinking of finding another line of work. In the past, I was able to easily drive 700-800 miles a day. Now, I'm good for about 500-600 and that's pushing it. Why so many people have so much of a problem entering an interstate is puzzling. The 55 mph RV thing is old. Motorcycles are clueless and dangerous. Truckers, especially those running the Miami - Houston route, are clueless as to safety - racing way over the speed limit and tailgating everything in front of them. The worst drivers are cops. It's getting to me. That's why I have always maintained that 11 hours of driving (a semi) is too much and I'm working on my resume.

THE DEVIL IN DISGUISE!

Ok, so if there is a devil - then he/she would certainly appear on earth as Ann Coulter. Her schtick is great way to sell her books. As a big supporter of free speech, that's any speech, not just the kind I want to hear, she is entertaining. Political correctness is bullshit. So if she wants to knock Jews, faggots, black, democrats and anything else, I'm all for it. You, after all, don't have to listen. She can be extremely annoying, but isn't bad on the eyes and she's got great legs.

NY-LA 31 Hours 4 Min.

Alex Roy's avg. speed was 90.1 traveling 2794 miles. In his BMW: a laser jammer to scramble police speed-enforcement equipment, ground-to-air radio, two night-vision monitors, four global positioning system units, a CB radio in addition to: high-performance brakes, a racing clutch and a 20-gallon fuel cell in the trunk to give the car a capacity of about 38 gallons. The whole story at http://www.nytimes.com/. His website is http://teampolizei.com/ and his upcoming book can be ordered at http://amazon.com/. There is also a bunch of stuff on You Tube about this dude that you will enjoy.

Awesome choice!

Esquire Magazine names our gal Charlize Theron the "sexiest woman alive." You certainly "ain't never gonna see" anything like her at a truck stop, unless you're dreaming.

I'm a 4-wheeler now!

Screw you truckers! I've been home for 24 hours now and I couldn't give a shit about you. I'm a 4 wheeler now and I'm lovin' every second of it. I'll cut your ass off in a heartbeat. Signals? Fuck that! You're only some large slow moving piece of shit that I'm gonna go around as fast as your grubby red neck semi uneducated greasy head can spin. You're all a bunch a cocksuckers that should never be allowed to drive when I drive. I'll give you as much respect as the ugly fat slobs that I see crawling around those urine stenched truck stops around this lazy assed good for nothing country of ours as you all give each other. I'll NASCAR yo ass off the road. I go to Mickey-D's to get my breakfast at 70 mph. I'm in and out of places with ease. I fly close to the ground and love the freek'n freedom my 4-wheeler gives me. I see you 18 wheelers out there - we all know you can't drive worth shit - you're all a nuisance. I don't give a crap how my food and stuff gets to the stores. You are meaningless to me. Mexicans with shit dropp'n horse carts can deliver things better than you can - and a hell of a lot cheaper. Go to hell truckers!

LOL/Ha Ha Ha!

"The decedent is clothed in a diving wet suit, a face mask which has a single vent for breathing, a rubberized head mask having an opening for the mouth and eyes, a second rubberized suit with suspenders, rubberized male underwear, hands and feet have diving gloves and slippers. There are numerous straps and cords restraining the decedent. There is a leather belt about the midriff. The hands are bound behind the back. The feet are tied to the hands. There are nylon ligatures holding these in place with leatherstraps about the wrists and ankles. There are plastic cords also tied about the hands and feet with a single plastic cords extending up to the head and surrounding the lower neck. There is a dildo in the anus covered with a condom. This portion of the autopsy report is off hhtp://www.thesmokinggun.com - Rev. Gary Aldridge, 51, pastor of the Thorington Road Baptist Church, Montgomery, AL, died of "accidental" asphysia. The family asked that the "details" of his demise not be released.

Jesus, what a bunch a scum bag douche bags!

No, I have no damn clue where this drawing is from. It popped down from internet heaven. I use it because it is so damn representative of the idiots out there that "discuss" the trucking industry. I have no clue where to begin. So let's start by asking ourselves if it really makes any damn difference to censor a word, let's say shit, when on tv you're looking at someone and you clearly know they said shit. You might even be looking away but hear the "bleep" and then turn to see the person say shit. Howard Stern was fined millions of dollars for using words like scum bag and douche bag. The other night on network prime time someone said scum bag and douche bag without censorship - no fine. We are all familiar with the argument about you can cut the "tittie" off but you cannot show the "tittie." I saw some babe on tv that was taking a sip of Bud Lite. The camera turned away then went back to her after the sip. Huh? Who are we kidding? Where am I going with all this? Well, we are in the danger zone when any censorship is used that impedes our right to free speech. It does not bother me if some idiot want to burn a flag. It does not bother me if someone calls someone else a faggot. Sticks and stones people. So, where am I going with this? Well, someone "reminded" me the other day that I need to be more "nice." More nice? Fuck that. What prompted this is my horrible habit to speak the truth in everything I write. I pull no punches. I never ever water things down. I callz 'em as I seez 'em. Apparently that's too way much for people to handle. Tough shit. Waaaaaaa. The reason that we're in this mess is because we are being led around like pigs to slaughter. And I'm not gonna take it anymore. Why are you taking it up the ass? What are you afraid of? Beyond this blog, I am constantly searching for ever more powerful methods of speaking the truth. I will never be silenced. I owe to myself and the countless folks that made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom of speech. What's your excuse?

Oh James!
