Joey Mack Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 We have pencil pushers here that tell US.. The Guys that know how to put a SAFE truck or P.O.V. back on the road,,,, that we have to conform to some other pencil pushers rules. The U.S. pecil pushers need to learn that Guy's like US, keep them safe in thier cars, and keep the, ''Big Bad Truck'' next to them on the highway safe too.... The pencil pushers don't complete thier R+D... They just dictate.. jojo 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69424-shop-talk/page/59/#findComment-525785 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post High Binder Posted March 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 4, 2023 Bob, if you put a fishing worm in water, it will live. If you put it in bourbon, it will die. Moral is, if you drink bourbon, you won't have worms.
