Reply #4: You made me snarf just now...

Lumper. I have to tell you... I'm still a new Trucker myself and I had backed up to a loading dock then walked into the warehouse feeling a little cocky. I found the recieving dept and the guy asks "you need a lumper or are you going to unload yourself?" I stood there like an idiot. I had absolutely no idea what he was saying. "Need a lumper" actually sounded like "needle humper". Then he tells me he "ain't got all day" before asking "lumper or not?" So, I said "lumper".

Little did I know I was going to have to pay the guy $50 out of my own pocket. I found that out as I was ready to drive away.

On edit: You're quite welcome. I hope things work out for your friend. Just remember free ain't free if they wind up taking it out of the paycheck later. I paid for my own school so I'm actually bringing home money but my co-drivers are having their tuition, hotel, and other stuff taken out of their paychecks every week.

I've been driving for just a short while and my company has a program called 20/10 whereas I'm out for 20 days and home for 10. Going home for my first ten day off period this week and all I want to do is spoon with my wife for hours and hours. That's all, just hold her and spoon with her and tell her how much I missed her.
