    I had a freind that drove for them for years. Was one of there 3 millon save miles guys. Hell of a good driver. He just left them. All he would say to me is that they are not what they where. He was also not happy that they trurn the trucks from 68 to 62. That 65 on cc is crap at least according to him. After his truck was turn down it was 62 with the cc.

    One more example of them lieing. There pay was the first thing that got me in there presentation. I could not believe that they actually start people off at .25CPM and they have guys going and working for them for that wage! Thats insanity if you ask me.

    Yeah but I have seen that a lot of companies are doing that now. Even swift was at 26 for new people when i was with them. Now its 25 for them as well. I never had any desire to work for them (Navajo). But it always says something when one of there good drivers tells you he is done with them. But at least they got good looking trucks right:biggrin_25525:

    I think they call that 'progress', lil.

    Big truck truck drivers are just doin' a job no American wants to do.
    The general public just wants what Big trucks bring, and prefer that the Big trucks not be seen.

    The day is comin' when a Big truck truck driver will run 140,000 miles a year, and live at poverty level, --- before expenses and taxes are factored in. :biggrin_25511:

    O yeah and the guy tried to say that yes its seems pretty low but you can go down the street and get a job at the next guy offerening 35CPM but you wont get the miles you would get with us. Yet they could not answer the milage that there average driver runs per week just they need the truck to run 2200 miles a week to break even with all of there payments and costs. That to me means you will run 2500 miles a week maybe less who knows. But all the guys in this class dont realize 2200 miles a week over a 7 day period is not impressive at all. I use to run 4K miles a week at Prime on paper logs and no following me on the qualcom and carring about the difference in my logs and the computer.

    LMAO... so in essence, what he was really saying was, "You can work your balls off for us, or you can take it easy at the company down the street... for the same money."

    Monty, I'll take what's behind door number two. :biggrin_25525:

    Wellllll, .......... that's two four door two ladies and gentlemen out thar in our readin' audience.
    I know, I know ----- I can hear y'all thinkin' , what the heck might be behind door number two.

    Wellllllll, ......... Mr. Imaginary announcer's written voice, tell the folks what they've won, ....................................

    Wellllll, .......... Mr. Imaginary game show's imaginary host's talkin' head's imagined voice, heee heee heee, uh, ....... let's just say it could be the opportunity of a lifetime.................... if all the stars and planets line up just right.

    :director2::director:~~~~ATTENTION, United Brotherhood of Stagehand Worker's Union, Local Hoods,.......
    Commence opening door number two. ----


    Uhhhhh, ............. while we're waitin' for the local hood's union to get right on it, let's go meet the contestants of this imaginary game show.

    lil-ill-ill, ...... is it?
    Are you feelin' ill lil?
    No?
    You're ok then?
    Good.
    The game ain't over yet, ...........
    Just kiddin' folks.
    Or IS he? heee heee heee.

    Tell us very little about yourself, lil ill ill.

    Ok, ......... movin' right along here, .........................

    milskred? Good gawd.
    How is that pronounced?
    Can I just call you Red?

    Ok then, Red,
    According to the information I received, until this afternoon, you'd never even heard of our little imaginary game show.
    Is that right?
    Welllllll, ........... tell us how it feels to be trapped in reality. If everybody was like you, we wouldn't even exist.
    Can y'all imagine that?

    Welllllll, .......... door number two is now open, ladies and gentlemen.
    Now if the two wholesome lookin' Sears Catalog models will pull the curtains back, ............... and the United Brotherhood of Electrical Lighting and Special Effects Local, local hoods ignite the lights to reveal your prize, ................
    And it's a brand new, .................................

    :sign7:

    ............ Freightliner Whatchamacallit Big truck!
    Yes, ...... your very own Hades Red Freightliner, with a few bells and whistles to escalate the final purchase price,........ but that's not all.
    N-sir-eeee, ladies and gentlemen.
    Not hardly.
    This shiny, overpriced Hades Red Freightliner comes
    PRE-leased to C.R. England, the industry leader in revolving door technology with their innovative smoke and mirrors method of passin' the buck, ..... talkin' out both sides of their collective corporate mouth to assure maximum confusion, ...................

    The illegal department at C.R.E. got together with our legal department and found enough loop-holes in laws to enable us the liberty of obtaining legal permission to forge both contestant's names on three-year leases,
    which will become officially, actively in effect right, ............ now.
    Congratulations!

    The information for your first dispatch is in an envelope on the jump seat.
    Now, ........... go check out what'cha won lil ill ill and Red.
    The keys are in the ignition.

    There's two C.R. England trailers hidden from sight somewhere in this imagination. Your last imaginary game show task is to go find one of 'em each, get under it, hook it up, do an imaginary pre-trip, (as usual?) and hit the Big road a-runnin'. Y'all are already 12 hours behind on a tight schedule.

    Y'all really do need to concentrate on your work ethics a tad more.
    If y'all hadn't been playin' a silly imaginary game show in your head wishin' you'd win the Big prize with a single roll of the dice, ---- y'all'd realize it's the Big truck's Big wheels that'cha need to keep rollin'......................... at all cost.

    If y'all are runnin' hard, but find that you're goin' backwards and deeper into debt, it's high time y'all start takin' advantage of others for fun and profit, as you, now a mentor with web-spinning abilities, pass the torch to those next in line for an expensive lesson in life.
    Not to worry 'bout them though. The important thang is that those 18 wheels don't stop rollin'.

    Consider y'all's options to Rent-A-NewBee.
    By lettin' green-horn newBees tear up y'all's (now oxidized) Hades red leased Freightliner Big truck, y'all can count imagined $$$$ visions in your head as you train the green-horn newBees in your sleep. :smt015

    Soooo easy, even a caveperson could do it.
    What's not to like?

    Ten times the responsibilities as you're now your own boss, -- while paid half what'cher worth, comforted by the promised support behind y'all from a Big truck truckin' company takin' bets how soon y'all will fail, and that will throw y'all under the bus in a New York minute to save their buttox, not if, but when necessary, without any warning, for no apparent reason, ...... if any, ...... leaving no doubt who's side they're on. Experts, one and all, when it comes to playin' the Pin The Blame On Another Name, game.

    At some truckin' companies y'all are a name.

    At other truckin' companies y'all are just a number.
    At C.R. England, y'all don't rate even that high.
    Much easier to keep thangs in perspective that way.
    They don't believe in discrimination. All of their drivers are considered to be, at least, equal to each other. All the same.
    And as such, well below the powers that be C.R. England. A saintly position from on high that y'all will never come close to aspiring to, or even be capable of imagining.

    Y'all can run hard tryin' ...... but y'all will just die tired.
    Not to mention the additional charges for havin' to clean out your old Big truck so C.R.E. can lease it as a new Big truck, ........ again. (And again, ...... again), ........ to another newBee with stars in their eyes, wide shut, ---- arms extended upward in anticipation of the rush of goin' down, ......................... fast, ----- like a rollie-coaster ride that won't end 'till it hits rock bottom.
    Can y'all dig it?

    Chester
    :king: said a mouthful when he uttered what has become the Company motto:
    Big truck
    truck drivers are expendable.

    Chester :king: went on to say,...........
    There are plenty more where they came from.
    All I have to do is keep the revolving doors well lubricated,
    goin' in either direction.
    Intake --- Exhaust, with internal combustion inbetwixt.
    It's a beautiful thang.

    ......... but by then nobody was payin' any attention to Chester's :king:drunken babble.
    If not for The Son's-0-Chester
    :fart: at his sides to hold their old man upright, Chester's facade might have tumbled down.
    But it didn't. And when Chester
    finally dropped the Company torch, The Son's-0-Chester were right there to pick it up and run even farther down the Money Trail with it, singin' in unison, ........
    Catch me if y'all can, ...................................

    Chester :king: would be proud, or
    Would Chester :king: be proud?
    Same words, just rearranged.

    With that bein' said,
    I take my imaginary leave with this thought for
    those so inclined, to ponder,
    :scratch: .........................

    .......... If y'all were stranded on some small, uncharted island with the only other inhabitants being The Son's-0-Chester :fart: , ..........
    would y'all bendover in their presence?
    :pottytrain1: :smt107

    Good night ladies. :wave:
    Good night gentlemen. :smt006
    Good night Chester :king:, ------ :smt077:angel12: ........ wherever you are. :smt019

    Ummmm.......:biggrin_2556:

    I would think door number 2 would be working for the company that pays better and runs less miles but the week-ends pay is the same....

    Now its time for me to go back to work which I just got off of about 6 hours ago, Thank you Marine Corp.

    Good morning Chesty Puller where ever you are!!!

    Aftershock can you explain please? Are you drinking right now or what?
