The Island of Misfit Toys

I agree Ohio drivers are the worst. But one thing that drives me crazy and I just can’t figure out why... in the south on the freeway I run across so many idiots driving their cars going 45 mph with their flashers on. It is weird. Some people turn the flashers on as you approach them. It’s almost like they are scared to drive. It’s hard to describe.

Too scared to be on the highway. That happens a lot here too. When I was in school Bill always emphasized the point of never using your size to intimidate drivers. F*ck that. This is my workplace, you're just a tourist. You'll move, or I'll MAKE you move. I got crap to do, man.

I don’t get flashers on while driving on the interstate at highway speeds

Especially in the rain

Twenty thumbs up, hell yes. But what can you expect from folks that keep holding out for a Superbowl ring from the Browns? Meh whatever. I married one of them, so I'm kind stuck here now

I'll do that in a downpour, like blinding sideways rain. Doing that so I don't get rammed by another truck when visibility suddenly goes from a mile to 100 feet.

I’ll do that if traffic is coming to a stop or slow down.

I just don’t get four wheelers winging it at 70 mph in the rain with hazards on

Yeah that makes no sense. I love it when they do it in a blizzard. I've watched at least 5 wrecks so far when they decide I'm an idiot and going too slow in six inches of snow. Love that. I'll call for help and try not to giggle, but it never works. I always giggle.

Hey, have you been to the Hoover Dam? By Delaware?

No sir, not to my recollection

I’m in Tennessee so you have one less Ohioan to worry about. It’s funny you say Ohio drivers suck. My trainer was from Wisconsin he would say the same thing.

Now that I’m driving more it always cracks me up when I’m in a different state and the idiot driver in front of me has Ohio plates.

It's either gonna be an Ohio plate, or a Florida plate. Almost every time.

All things considered this went pretty well. Traffic wasn't terrible and I didn't see a single cop til I was off the highway and close to the receiver. Snagged a quick day run near Youngstown going to Massillon which is a hop, skip, and a jump from home. Extra gas money Grabbing a load tomorrow (kinda) close to home delivery to Alabama on Tuesday. Not bad, it's been a productive day. The beer at the end will be fantastic.

So, this is the second little short run I've grabbed this week. Strange thing about this company... all the little quickie runs I've done here have been recycling. This one is paper, last one was plastic. It's a good thing I've got plenty of time left today, dude in front of me said I'll likely be here 3 hours. Oh well, at least I'm feeling productive instead of sitting at home.

Lol what were you hauling?

 

[Ontario Outlaw]

Lol what were you hauling?

That bridge section

I’ve learned that deliveries for bridges tend to be in odd spots

 

[Electric Chicken]

I thought he was gonna say he was hauling a section of blacktop.
