I know exactly how it gets to the store, but you can stop acting like there isn't a way for that steak to get in my belly without your existence.

FedEx runs a shit load of big rigs. My buddy ran triple trailers from Montana to Chicago and back.

I realize I'm just a small piece of this industry. I was referring to it as a whole, not my part, specifically. |

Well, honestly, it's never 5 minutes. If a trucker pulls off the road (on or off ramp) at night, it's not a big deal. However, if he pulls into a truck stop it can take on average 15 minutes. Have to thread through all the trucks, find a place to park (if you CAN) go in, piss and then begin the process all over again. It's a small matter for a guy in a car - but a truck is like moving a battleship. Some of the old timers who ran with 2 or 3 log books and drove 800 miles without stopping (had to be at the delivery point tomorrow morning) would piss in a gatorade bottle to save time - eat cheese and crackers so they didn't have to stop. Rough way to make a living. Now, with electronic log books and GPS tracking, it is pointless to run like a mad man. Drive 10 hours - take your time off. |

I reserve the right to bitch at/about shitty truck drivers.
I've spent my fair share of time driving an overloaded semi with water sloshing in the tank and and a 10 foot wide sprayer on the back. That is a hell of a lot harder haul than some jank ass box truck. I can get my sprayer around the country without being an assbag so if I bitch about truckers, don't give me shit. Most truckers are fine. I will happily acknowledge that several of them are better than I am. But the jackass one who sucks the peniss need to die in a ****ing fire. |

Indeed. Trains and planes can't exist without trucks. There is NOTHING that we use today (and I mean NOTHING) that wasn't brought by truck. Trucks take the cow to the slaughter house, trucks take the slaughtered and processed cow to the distribution center (if you live in KC and shop at a Price Chopper - it is at 5000 Kansas Ave, KCK) where it is loaded onto company trucks and delivered to the stores. And believe me - I'm not trying to be a dick either. After I retired from the Army, I spent the next 25 years driving one of those company trucks. |

Other than that - it was carried by a truck. I realize that you don't want to hear that, but that's the truth. |
