Popular Post rsb502 Posted January 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2014 I never shoulda turned on the TV! Ok so I'm stuck in a hotel and turn on a TV for the first time in about a year and what do I see? Shipping Wars.....WTF? Its like a train wreck I just kept watching and I hate it but can't look away. So far I've seen two episodes and not one of em has moved anything in one unharmed piece yet. Do these morons ever do anything right? Do they ever complete a haul without damage to their load?

Speed Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 That's typical "Reality TV" fare-brainless ineptitude,contrived disaster,shouting matches,manufactured stress over non-issues,etc. Fortunately,most of us (IMHO) don't waste our time with this kind of drivel. WE have REAL problems and issues to deal with ,and don't need that Hollyweird Drama. I like "Ice Road Truckers" in SPITE of the "drama",because it's close enough to actual reality to be mostly believable,and I just like trucks and the people driving on the show. I watched "Fast-n-Loud" a few times but quickly developed a real dislike for that jackass who tells sellers what they want to hear,("Yeah-my Dad had one of these,and I swore to him I'd restore one JUST like his,in his honor..."),buys it cheap,butchers it and auctions it. Guys that work like him have ruined more deals for me than I can count .

Timothy Maikshilo Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Got rid of TV eight years ago and too only watch it when away at work. All senseless BS. We have Netflix for the movies that we like, mostly the classics. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34156-why/#findComment-225365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post farmer52 Posted January 8, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2014 And you wonder why I only watch The Weather Channel? But it is getting like other channels with all the other BS "stories". Jim Cantore is a real hot dog and sensationalist. Just give me the dang local weather every eight (8) minutes and the overall weather forecast...oh and lots of good lookin' wimmin (wearing short dresses WITH HOSE). 3 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34156-why/#findComment-225366 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike69mackman Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 You got that right ken. They're calling this cold snap a article vortex ! Really? It's just cold leave it at that.

JTFormula Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Actually Jim Cantore last night said its actually not an Arctic Vortex. People are using the term improperly. As for shipping wars, I like the show. I know it's bullshit so take it for what it is. Just realize its just stupid entertainment and a huge advertisement for Uship. I like to watch Highway Thru Hell. Probably the only true towing show on TV. That lizard lick and south beach are more set up and fake than shipping goons. 1 Quote ~ JT Burkard ~ AKA Sweaty Mackwww.jtresto.com www.wickedreputation.netwww.jonathanthomasmotorcars.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34156-why/#findComment-225379 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack mhe9 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I think the shippers kill me. My freights the most important thing there is to move on the planet, so lets find the cheapest freight hauler to haul it. Glad they aged a buck.

j hancock Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I am glad this quality "reality" tv has the forethought to place cameras in all the right spots to record all the f.... ups.It is almost like the know something bad is going to happen......hmmmm.Does U Ship really think this program actually enhances their image to prospective shipping customers?

rsb502 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 If I ran U Ship, I would try to make this show the biggest secret on TV and sue them to take it off the air. Anybody that will use them to ship anything after watching that is a freakin idiot.

41chevy Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 My wife watches all those shows. Me I watch "This Old House, the Military Channel and BBC News (Radio Free America) and none of those to ofter eithen, too much real life to live. I'll catch up on the Reality shows when I'm dead and have some free time.

hicrop10 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Remember in the start of each show they say these are some of their TOP shippers.I can only think what their less then top shippers must do.I had acouple of shippers park their trucks in my yard.I would some time walk over and see what they were hauling,some of them may have used duck tape to chain down the loads.

Vladislav Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I'm off TV at all since I'm off my wife about 7 years ago.About 4 years back I got a TV set at home.Although to my great happiness there is no antenna cable or aerial itself in my house.

Speed Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I don't have cable anymore,but those are shows I was or wasn't interested in. I've found that since I shut down the TV I get more done around here. Now,though,I leave the radio on more. Political Talk Radio,mostly. (The cats like that,since I'm out of the house more-keeps 'em from feeling abandoned I imagine.)

Freightrain Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I gave up my dish 2.5 yrs ago. Best thing I did. Got tired of paying for CHIT! I miss some shows(like my old Law & Order) and a few others, but I still get This old House on PBS so I'm good. Now I watch old reruns of Rockfords files, Hogans Heroes and Emergency, Cannon, Streets of San Fransico on antenna. Good ol 70's TV shows.I turned off my land line at the same time so NO harassing phone calls from Dish Network trying to get me back. Got lots of mail for awhile, but even that went away.

Speed Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Rockford Files-"DON'T GO IN THERE,JIMMIE! THEY'RE GONNA GET YOU FROM BEHI--yep,see? I TOLD ya so..."Great show. I always stuff DISH's advertising into their reply envelope and send it back to 'em,on THEIR dime.
