My fee is 3/4's of mdkw fee since he is an engineer and I am but a lowly carpenter. Certified none the less though. So let's calculate............

17000 divided by 2(he said he'd do it half price, wtf?)= 8500.00 to mdkw
8500x 75%= 6375 to me......that's a lot of frikin chili babe. 8)

Before I started I was thinking I could load, drive and unload in one day for a 500 mile run. Ya right.
You should love to tarp. You should love to wait and collect detention. Getting paid without burning fuel and wearing out the truck. Lazy truckers are exactly why long haul rates are low.

In case anyone needs a new recipe for chili.


Steve's Chili

3 Pounds hamburg
1 1/2 Pounds boneless chicken
2 Large onions
6 Cloves of garlic
2 Large cans diced tomatoes
1 Large can tomato puree
6 Tablespoons hot chili powder
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons salt
1 Tablespoon pepper
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1 Tablespoon crushed red pepper
1 Small can Texas style chili beans with seasoning
1/2 Cup pastene jalapeno peppers


Cut up onions and garlic and fry together in big
pot until hamburg is cooked and drain grease. Broil chicken
with barbecue sauce about 10 minutes each side or until done.
Pour diced tomatoes and puree into pot. Cut up Jalapeno
into small chunks. Dump rest of ingredients into pot. Turn up
heat. When hot turn down heat and simmer for couple of hours.

Your welcome. I won two chili contests with it. The chicken doesn't have to be cooked that much. Dice it up and it will cook the rest of the way pretty quick when you simmer the chili.

Here's a new addition to my truck plus another picture of why I head out West.

This is her Bio that came with it:

Age: 21

Marital status: Boyfriend in band

Children: 0, one in the oven(not sure who's it is)

Last grade completed: 9th, won't need to finish, my boyfriend is about to be signed by a big record label.

Likes: Slayer and Tequila, cheating on boyfriend when big rock bands come to town.

Dislikes: Men who tuck in their shirts.

Yup! In my younger days I could drive with one knee, roll a joint, smoke a butt and a beer between my legs.
