Trainers truck and food

I was that someone several times. I had enough of the apparent omission of first pay more than a few employers.

Maybe I should have rewritten or phrased my rantette differently (Small rant...)

You do have a point. But I think I failed myself by not making clear that I remember some of those first days without a speck of pay.

Before joining ATS I worked three months in a long john silvers dishes. 1000 dollars cash ready to go in the pocket before flying down to charlotte NC for orientation. For my part a few 20's got away to help others.

What I should have done is continued to date that ex middle school girlfriend who had grown into a fine adult and a good co worker at that joint back home then. And stayed there with her. cest'lavie...

 

Two dutch ovens, 12 volt, with big 12 volt one to two or three splitter plug. Gravy to suit, (Pre made because you will not be stirring and mixing gravy at 65 mph...) chunks of ham (Or steak fajita strips) small mini onions, and small round potatoes. Plus something on the mix such as carrots. And then one onion carefully chopped between the two ovens.

Clap em after filling with this food. Put both ovens to work cooking it. It will be about 6 hours minimum. Towards the end of your shift of 11 hours driving. You will find that the ovens will protect the food quality for about a day. It will provide you with enormous fuel for the work.

 

How about the guy who goes to tailgate at the Packer game the day before going out and spends all his money - including the cash advance?

Or the one who buys a couple of pre-made sandwiches when you take him thru the grocery store before heading out, buys breakfast lunch and dinner the first two days and then tells you he's out of money? For what he spent at Dennys he could have bought a weeks worth of sandwhich fixings with money left over.

Or the one who you have to stop from getting involved in a three card month game at a rest area?

I get people have bills and that saving money on minimum wage is extremely challenging, but at a certain point personal responsibility comes into play.

 

Planning ahead, budgeting, accountability, lol! Most basement dwellers today would forget to eat and wouldn't unless "Mom" opened the door, interrupted their game session of call of duty and said "Jimmy dear your hot pockets are ready".

 

Hot pockets are what the Corps will call trash... I tried them for a month, weight increased 25 pounds and the blood vitals related to heart testing went straight downhill. No more of that trash, Don't do it.

 

Where else would you stay?

 

They can't even put minifridges in there for the fresh meat? cheap company.
