    you "invariably" made no sense with your posting, given the variable that we could have read it or not, varies on our variable mileage at variable sitting postures, or variable amounts of consumed beers, or whiskey, or schnops or cool ade.

    another variable would be, if anyone reading your variables possibilities, would be a variable amount of laced brownies or cup cakes.

    i apologize for making this thread.

    even good companies can be poor. cheating companies that break laws can put honest companies out of business, but simultaneously lawsuits can put a company out of business, and bad drivers can put a company down. etc.

    so yeah even good company to work for can be poor, good and bad. i didn't really need to read anyone's replies, it was i guess dumb thread, because i kind of later think about figured out the answer.

    A bit sick and tired of reading about YRCand its 'crap' equipment. The trucks are mostly new, for line haul. P & D, not so much. They get all the old trucks. Just the way it is. Dont like it, go elsewhere. Lots of companies out there with newer equipment.

    No, I would not wanna work for a company that doesn’t handle its money and finances correctly. Because that could equate to your paycheck not being handled correctly. Or them making empty promises to you. Why risk it?

    One little trick that I learned when I was looking for a company to start with, with those that are self-insured. If they are self-insured they’re usually or definitely are financially secure.

    Well, we call them like we see them.

    I backed in next to an old Roadway Volvo at a plumbing supply house the other day, and when he left it was obvious the multi-colored thing was only running on 5 cylinders.

    Always glad to see the ones that do all the work getting all the junk by default. :rolleyes:
