First Blog Entry

Posted 08.03.2008 at 06.19 PM by Wildkat
Ok here goes, finally decided it was time to make one of these blog things...

I've never been good at talking about myself, but am always happy to answer questions and give back to an industry that I have been in for over 30 years now.

I'm an owner/operator, leased on to a mid-sized (for Canada) LTL carrier. I am based out of Edmonton, Alberta & run strictly North, I spend the majority of my time in the Northwest Territories & the Yukon Territory.

so wrong

Posted 08.03.2008 at 11.54 AM by pappygrayowl
Okay, just a short FYI that has nothing to do with trucking but has alot to do with America.
Dis you know that any political party that wants to put on the ballot in the presidential race has to raise over 800,000 signatures to be considered? Every party except two, Republican and Democrat. Do you know how many signatures Republicans and Democrats need to raise? NONE!
I don't know about the rest of you, but that seems very wrong to me. I guess its just there way of insuring that...

Cool!

Didn't know there was a blogging site here! I already have a blog that I write in quite a lot - too much actually.
Anyway, yesterday I went into my company's general manager and asked about the possibility of getting promoted. I have been trucking long enough, I would like to be one of those that run the show instead of in the running. I was pretty amazed he actually said yes! there IS opportunity for you to get out of driving and inside the building, so to speak, because my company has a hiring freeze and if any positions become available, they will be hiring from within.
Well, anyway, I drive alot in the city but also in rural areas - out of the big city and into little towns all over the place.
I think I might starting adding a few blips to this blog here and there.
Ava'gooday!...

Thieves
...this is the easiest way to describe this company! It is family run & owned & the only reason this is because they are the only people who can stand be there!
To start off...when you begin there as a lease operator they MAKE you purchase 300 gallons of THEIR fuel...no matter what is in the truck...(example...the truck holds 300 gals & has 250 gals in it...you have to pay for 300 gals even though it only takes 50 gals to fill the tanks.)
When & if you
