Use to haul out of a magazine printing plant in Des Moines. Among the publications they printed were Better Homes and Gardens, and Penthouse. For some reason they always were short a bundle or two of Penthouse at delivery. Never a shortage with Better Homes. They solved the shortage problem when they started leaving free copies for drivers to help themselves to on the dock!

there was a loud "BOOM" here yesterday morning, at first I thought someone's house blew up, then didn't hear any other noises, so I quickly looked at state highway cams to find one of them billy-bob flatbeds with a blown left steer tire, safely stopped on the left shoulder and out retrieving what was left of the tire off the highway a ways behind. mystery solved. that blow out was extra loud for some reason, as compared to the many others I've heard, probably had to clean their pants and seat afterwards. 🤣

Do you have a microphone in my house? You started hitting those tires with your hand (and I always watch your vlogs with my husband, an ABF retiree) and I’d no sooner gotten out of my mouth “what good will his hand do, he can’t tell pressure” and my husband answered “he can tell sound difference” , and you started with the same explanation! Freaky!
I suppose many truckers anticipated that free ice cream, can't be faulted for that. 1972, in Pennsylvania, my dispatcher asked me to stop in at the Mrs. Smith's Pies factory to pick up a load. Being responsible for the load, I counted every package that went on board. When I delivered in Omaha, one of the receivers told me there is a few extra pie packages. HUH? Thought about that over the years, I'm at a total loss to explain how those fellas managed to get those EXTRA pies on board without my noticing. Might I wasn''t as sharp as I gave myself credit for being. Man o man, them pies were very tasty. Just my good fortune to be assigned to that load. Maybe one day, in a different way, it'll happen for you. Fingers crossed. Be well and safe. Thankee for the ride.

Sorry but I could careless about seeing a sunrise or sunset! I haven't been to McDonald's since September 2022 when they kept raising their prices & the quality fell overboard with subpar cold food that looked like it been sitting around a while. About the only way to get a semi reasonable deal at McDonald's now is order on the app & use the deal section & then it's still overpriced. O, who can afford Beef Jerky now, it's almost $2 an ounce. Inflation is killing everything from grocery store food prices, small & big chain restaurants closing their doors at some locations if not entirely!
