    i have no idea. ok so he says he has two trucks down here in st louis at truck center inc. apparantly they were repoed but he says i can go to this place, see which truck i like best, and if i can get it to ohio, i have a job. now, im still new to this industry but this doesnt seem like a legitimate hiring process lol. how do i know ill be paid? what about a log book or fuel? im not payin for it. he wants it done today, like now. yea i think ill pass. i got an orientation at a factory, that i know for a fact is a legitimate job. other doors will open for me im sure

    Go and talk to the place where the trucks are being kept. They will more than likely give you tons of info about this guy. Plus the condition of the trucks will tell you a lot. Just my curiousity would make me do that.

    well for starters, i pulled a fuel hose out of one of the pumps in omaha at werners hq of all places. then while on probabtion for that, i put my driver side tractor tire thru some mud while blindside backing into a small dollar general lot. then later that day two empty rolltainers rolled off the liftgate at another dg. of course the b**ch of a manager said they hit her door and she filed a claim. so i hear i am jobless and i was just starting out

    Ive talked to drivers for small companies that have topped out their trailer and still have a job. My dings or so minor that it just doesnt make sense. Yea the fuel pump ordeal was kinda big but thats not what got me fired. I dont know, lifes not fair, that's for sure.
