The point of my posts were not "What do we do to solve this problem?", but simply to illustrate that there was a loss of either time or wages.

"The point of my posts WAS, not were. The noun "point" is singular so it takes the singular verb WAS, not the plural verb WERE.

I'm sure wildkat appreciates your correcting his spelling

I don't like that they are turning down our trucks where I work but then I remembered that I get paid by the hour so I am not gonna cry about it, heck you can't do nothing about it anyways.

Don't MIND me, really! You go ahead and whine all you want to! Just don't forget to flush the dang toilet..... and stay out of MY fast lane! :lol: :lol:
:shock: :lol:
I'm sorry, BigWheels.... were your trying to SAY something? I don't have an "emoticon translator" so I don't know what you wanted to say!

If you were somehow "backing" me, I wouldn't want to offend you. If you were "dissing" me.... I hope I DID! :lol:

I don't DO youtube, and I don't play games! I speak in clear English as I was taught (well, not really taught... as I knew it all before I GOT there) in High School! Comprehension is lacking ENOUGH on this board. And believe it or not.... there is a TOS rule against excessive use of emoticons! :lol:

Just sayin'! :roll:
Nope -- not saying a thing...just emoticoning! (is that a word?)

Just got a kick out of you expressing the fact that truckers like to express themselves...often!

And since I was 2-sheets-to-the-wind (very tired) when I read your post, I posted emoticons to "do the talking" for me. By the way, you'll notice I have gone emoticon-free on this post.

OK. I couldn't resist!

My truck's speed was turned down to 62 mph like 2 months ago. I still average about 3,300 miles or more per month.

I'd love a job where I was only averaging 3300 miles per month. :lol:

You may run more miles than I do, but are you doing that consistantly? Are you an owner/operator? How many of those miles actually makes it to your 401K account, savings, and money market account?

Anywhere from $300. to $400. a week goes towards my savings account, plus I still have about $500. per week that goes into my direct deposited checking account.

You may run more miles, and if you're an owner/operator, you probably have more headaches than I do too.
