    Yeah....I know.

    Unfortunately the "Me first" attitude seems to prevail...But I'm not lowering my standards no matter what!

    If a guy needs help, I'll help him and if he doesn't help others when he sees that they need help, That's his problem because he's the one that has to go through life in that sorry condition!

    Everyone needs help from time to time. Lots of guys just won't take a minute to help someone out always in a hurry. Young or old if i can help someone out or show them a better way i will.

    :biggrin_25523: haha! yeah people are so self absorbent. personally, when i'm at a loading dock and i see someone pullin a pallet off and its tight i stop what im doing and help guide them. i always try to help someone out if it looks like they need help. not everyone is a self centered prick today!

    Let's just say that I KNOW I ain't got what it takes to be a flatbedder.

    Some of the crappy dry vans this company owns are bad enough!
