on my way to prime

Hey boo man wish you luck but really thank before they talk you into leasing a truck and watch you check stubs I ran flatbed and refer here and they will rip you off quick

 

No one forces anyone at Prime to lease a truck... You make your bed and you have to sleep in it.

I've been company for over three years... No lies, and one quickly corrected paycheck mistake.

 

I ran company for 3 years, and lease for another . No one forced me into leasing... never heard one word about it while on the company side. No issues with paychecks... any mistakes were corrected on the next settlement.

Same goes on the lease side... any problems I've had have been corrected as soon as I found them. All-in-all, from a business manager's perspective, I've had less issues with my dealings with Prime than I did managing a RadioShack outlet.

 

Yet which company has such a good safety record they can just go past the scales with a green light? O... must work for that company not allowed to have prepass

 

You managed a Radio Shack? What has happened to that chain? It used to be I could go in there looking for a diode or a resistor with a specific value and the guys would know exactly what I'm talking about and walk straight to it.

Nowadays they stand there looking confused and ask me if I need a new cell phone.

 

ORD, did you not see the smiley character at the end of that post? That means it's a joke. Here's a link to a web page that might explain the purpose of that post a little better.

 

Well... they took the parts out of the stores and made these large retail parts centers. Absolutely a great deal as far as I was concerned at the time - I was doing a lot of prototype engineering and it served a need.

Fast forward to the post-9/11 recession. That kicked the bottom out of a lot of electronics engineering, much of that work being off-shored, and the military security clearance side of stuff got locked-up tight by the paranoid scare over Al-Qaeda sneaking into the defense department. So... most of the business for the retail parts centers dried-up, and RS shut them down.

So, now you have RS with a meagre selection of parts in the stores, no retail parts operations. Then they decided they were the "New RadioShack" - trying to compete with Best Buy, Circuit City, Ultimate Electronics - so sales hiring went more to non-electronics types. The residuals from cell phone sales made up 90% of their profit for the last 10 years. What happened? Really bad decision-making at the corporate level.

Would you like fries with that cell phone sir?

 

LOL. That last line says it all right there.

It's kind of sad how solid-state circuitry is starting to take over CB radios. The guy at the CB shop at the Flying Pilot at the 240 on I-65 in IN (Either Lowell or Hebron, IN) might as well be a rocket scientist. I was talking to him one day when I stopped in there to try to get parts for my dad's old JVC vacuum-tube stereo amplifier from the 70's. I ended up having him fix it for me cuz he knew where to get parts. It just needed the guts for the volume knob cuz it was scratchy.

That old 125x4 watt tube-amp has better sound than any of these 7 point whatever "surround sound" systems we have today and it's just a 4 channel amp with something called a "synthetic four channel stereo mode" (SFCS) on it. If you're playing something from a good ANALOG source like a clean vinyl record, for example, a Beatles song in which there's accurate mid-range "presence", it sounds like Paul McCartney is literally standing in the living room singing about 4 feet behind the speakers. And that's with just two speakers hooked up.

Unfortunately I go to all that trouble getting that old tube amp fixed up for him for Fathers day and all he does with it is listen to Leon Redbone.

 

booman,

How about an update bro !!!!!
