    Yeah, he is a character for sure...he talks about those storys from time to time. Like threating to organize a kkk rally just to cost the government tons of money to have law enforcement there. Was not me that called him a scum though.

    Just curious Giants....if the miles suck and your not happy, why put up with the BS? There are plenty of other decent companies out here. Don't let them keep fornicating you with out any lubrication.

    He's posted before that he's shooting for that 1 year goal. As weird as it may seem I think Giants could teach a lot of these new guys a thing or two about sucking it up and getting that year under your belt. I read his posts and can't help but wonder the same thing but you've got to give it up to him for overcoming the BS. Personally my patience would have been tested a long time ago and I would have moved on, but with that said there's not a thing wrong with setting your sites on something and achieving that goal. I hate Pennsylvania but I know I have to be here for atleast a year so I just suck it up and try to go with the flow.

    IRT has the potential to be a decent company if they would just pull their head out of their ###..

    If they are gonna run guys short they need to tell them that when they hire them and pay them more per mile to make up for the lack of miles..How hard is it to have a short haul division and a long haul division ??

    Giants isn't the only one getting jerked around I talked to a couple other guys who were stuck at OJ's tank wash they were starving for miles also..

    rant over..
