Please take no offense by this but we have many immigrants on this forum and I am learning that our problem is not caused by one group but by a mindset that is pervasive thruought our industry. There are time when I, too, act like a who-r because it serves my purpose at that time.

I took it as he was poking fun at the stereotype. Maybe he was serious?

Us Canadians have a hard time with understanding the US attitudes sometimes

Unloaded at the Yankees spring training facility in Tampa right across the street from Raymond James football stadium and now at the J in Seffner. Already had 1 call for a bid going to Beloit wi but did not get it. Looks like the other sprinter that delivered early this morning in Orlando has already bugged out of there heading north. More freight chances for me.

Me and Mrs. WOM are holed up in Duncan SC for a couple daze. I got sick Monday and gave it to her Tuesday for Valentine's Day. Who needs flowers and candy when you have germs?

Today is supposed to be a "Day Without Immigrants". Mebbe if Russians sit, I can get good rate out of Chicago, da?

I used the wrong term.

I was referring to the crowd you find, especially up here and in Laredo, that run illegally in overweight cubes and earn just enough to keep body and soul together. Six months and they go home, being swapped for friends who come and do the same thing. Their vehicle owners run them cheaper than we citizens and neighbours can afford to operate.

Face it, we're all in one of three groups: Immigrants, descendants of immigrants, or Native Americans. Those who have come to America the right way, following the rules and procedures, are welcome to stay forever . Canadian, Eastern European, Latino, whomever. But folks who come to benefit from our freedoms without committing to their new Nation? They can go home.

Well this week has been a total bust so far. 2 calls today 89 miles (umm no thanks) and 1200. I guess someone else wanted to do a Marathon run to Texas for less

Looks like I will be putting plan B into affect, and rolling the dice on an all or nothing Friday

Perfect day in the 60's... made some wings.. curled my hair and did my nails. Had the windows open for awhile and the snowbanks are melting. I can actually see the rope of my bird baths now!:)

Always wondered how wings were made
