The Island of Misfit Toys


Dayum.... never been to one

I aint tryin to get “lubed” at a restaurant tho :biglaugh:
It's a sports bar chain. Kinda like Buffalo Wild Wings. Except the wings and sauces are way better. It's a chain local to PA and Ohio, started in Sharon PA. My ex and I used to make an occasional pilgrimage to Sharon when the weather was nice. They have a killer bike night and it was a fun ride on a warm summer night.
 
It appears as though I'm the beneficiary of a tremendous amount of fortune today. I visited home last night for what seemed like half a minute. Found a load 2.5 miles from my truck stop this morning. Went back to my truck stop and only paid $2.03/gallon when I fueled up. And the load is only 9k, 5 pallets. Jesus. Am I in for a wreck or something? The universe is never this nice to me without payback. Guess I'll find out tomorrow...

Easy on that cynicism young grasshopper. Wise man say one who seek bad fortune will soon find it :cool-61:

And where the hell you found diesel that cheap??? :O_o:

That's life experience speaking, not cynicism. I'm fully expecting to get punched in the balls tomorrow.

Between EFS and my negotiated company discount from TA, that's what I paid. Had to do a double-take when I looked at the EFS app. But sho 'nuff, that's what I paid. It was at my home truck stop. The TA in North Canton OH. I77 exit 111. It wasn't that price at the pump, that was $3.05 I believe. Just happened that everything lined up between EFS and TA. I'll take it 😎
 
@BlackBart about that cynicism you mentioned...🤣 Had an awful delivery this morning. Wasn't a long wait but JESUS that was an awful experience. Got cussed out by one of their company schmuck box truck drivers for absolutely nothing. It was humiliating. And he did it in front of the front office folks and none of them said anything or even offered an apology. After that, picked up a JB C*nt load and was of course lied to by the broker. That company is so shifty. Instead of getting empty and grabbing a load, had to drop my trailer and leave because they wouldn't take me early like she said the would. What a garbage day. I found a Wally World close that still allows semi parking, and found a BW3 close. So I guess there's at least that. My day will start decently tomorrow because I booked a load through my favorite broker. But god only knows what'll happen after that. Whenever I have a good day, this is what happens. Like I said man, it wasn't cynicism. It was life experience. I know this, JB C*nt will never see me again. As the saying goes... burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice..

It was actually a decent load if it went as promised. It wasn't a stellar load, but it was great for a filler. But being "great" depends on giving me what you promised. From here on out they can eat a dick.
 
If they were able to manage their own freight they'd probably have more happy company drivers and less turnover. F those people. Right up the butt. With a chainsaw.
 
JB Hunt burnt me once with there classic bait n switch bout 25 years ago. I wouldnt waste **** on their parkin lot now
Betting it's filled with pee bottles and a ton of folks that have English as a second language. They don't care about drivers including their own. Ironically, Schneider and Kight/Swift are pretty good. Head scratcher. Transcorr is pretty awesome too. I'm betting that on the company side they'd disagree. This is a messed up world we live in.
 
I'll never understand why company drivers sit making .40/mile for god knows how long while I'm pulling a load for over $2 that could have gone to a guy or girl with a family and has bills to pay. AND I'm pulling your loads. I don't get it. You don't have enough money to talk me into becoming seat meat again. F that noise.
 
How bout it @Steelersjunkie

Nuthin like toppin the day with some pit beef and a cold one :cool-61:

I'll post a pic shortly of a beer and some homemade chili, my wife's personal favorite of my limited culinary skills. I won't lie and say it's the best thing you'll ever eat. But it wouldn't be a lie to say it's moderately locally famous 😁 I get requests from friends and family all the time. Not cheap to make, but awesome to eat lol.
