    Wow you brought up a 4 year old thread to tell us that? For not being Bob you sure are very zealous in defending him. Funny how you call the OP a drunk but what he said about being forced to sleep in cars was 100% true.:happy1:

    It should of "broke your heart" the guy was sleeping in cars like a hobo not that he posted the truth on here.:laughing2:

    The OP had a "drinking" problem reported by a poster with the handle morphine. Classic. Must be having problems getting drivers to work there to come here and dredge up a thread that old to refute. Are the sleepers in the current fleet sedans or SUVs?

    Yep you caught me. I am a recruiter. Look on the Safer website. He has 3 trucks. I am one of about a dozen recruiters. And I am Bob. And the fleet manager. Right. Maybe just wanting to do the guy a favor, because he has cleaned up his act. Boro doesn't even operate anymore under that name, not at least with Bob at the wheel, but he doesn't talk to me much anymore, and I ndon't blame him. I was an ### when I quit.

    I used to be a car hauler, but never will drive a truck again. I had my first interview in several yeas and was a little rusty, so the guy that is not Bob did not hire me, but unbelievably, he said he would recommend me to a friend of his who hauled a box around, but only paid .33 CPM. I made .35 CPM right out of driving school 5 years ago. I told him thanks, but no thanks. I want to haul cars. It is the only driving job I have really ever liked. I might consider something else, but only if it were local home every night, or very close to it. I am never going to amount to anything, and I sincerely wish I had died in my Granddaddy's place almost a year and a half ago. He was a commercial airline captain, and a flight instructor in the Army Air Corps in WW2. He amounted to something, and had many family members who adored him. I am married, have three kids, all boys - 3,4, and 9. If I could have gone in his place, it would have been better. He died at 91 but should have lived to 100. I am about to give up on life. Only my oldest son will remember me. Everyone please jump on here, tell me how I am feling sorry for myself, and that I should go ahead and do it. Some of you guys are awesome, and others are rude. I don't care anymore. That would be a pretty cool thing to brag to all of your buddies about. Hey look, I got a depressed guy to go over the edge, and he did himself in. I had a conditional offer of employment yesterday for the first time in several years, had the papers to do a drug screen, and I made a few slight mistakes in the yard, so the guy said he didn't feel comfortable with me. I guess I did get rust after several years of driving. What is the point of even trying? I want to make decent money, and I don't want to do 34 hour resets at truck stops, getting by the house once a month, drop the trailer at Wal-Mart distribution centers, have them put locks on my glad hands, and wait around several hours for them to load my truck. No I love car hauling, and yes I am feeling sorry for myself. I have every right to. I am a house dad, while my wife works retail. Sad. I am supposed to be the bread winner, not her, and we both agree that her place is at home with the kids. I really, really had my heart set on that job, and after two interviews and the conditional offer of employment, I told everyone that it was almost certain that I had the job, but the guy wouldn't give me a chance. He used different tire straps than I had ever used before, and I backed a Mercury Grand Marquis up the top rail backwards back and wasn't perfectly straight the first time. Then I accidentally had my foot on the brake, and was letting out air, and didn't realize that part of my foot was on the brake instead of just the accelerator, so it was slow to build up air, and the yard had a gigantic pile of rocks I didn't want to drive over, so I tried backing up a couple times, but then decided to pull up as far as I could and get the trailer straight, and then I backed up fine, but it was too much for him. I explained that I was a little rusty (I said I hadn't driven in 3 months, but it had been more like 3 years). I tried to tell him that I learned quickly from my mistakes, and didn't make the same mistakes twice, and I was very nervous. I took the CDL driving test twice five years ago and failed, and the examiner said she thought it was due to nerves. My father in law gave me a 1/2 mg xanax, and lo and behold, I passed the driving test with flying colors the third time. Maybe I should have had some nerve medicine yesterday. Oh well I am sure you guys are tired of hearing me whine and feel sorry for myself. Maybe I got what I deserved for lying on the application. Maybe if I had been more honest, he would have understood, but I doubt it. He was like oh man, I am so sorry when I was sure that nothing I could say would convince him to hire me, I admitted that I had lied on the application, and Boro was the last car-hauling and last long-term employer I had had in a few years. I have been driving on and off for 5 years, but I guess I got what I deserved. Start slinging the insults. Tell me what a low-life POS I am. If I could just get back in a truck, It would all be like riding a bike, and come right back to me. If anyone is looking for a car-hauler who will take a few days to get back in the game and be that patient, I would make an excellent driver. I never, ever had a damage claim. Like I said before, I sure wish I hadn't left Boro. Think I am Bob or a recruiter if you want, but I'm not. I am a miserable stay at home dad. Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with my kids, but my wife isn't making nearly enough money, and it isn't her place to be working. Oh well some people are just doomed to fail in life. I must be one of them. Maybe I just need to let go. At 37, I am somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 done with my natural life anyway, if I live natural, long term life, which I very seriously doubt. Sorry for you to have to listen to my pity party. I can sit at home and watch ID all day and raise the kids I guess, but how long can I stand being worthless? Everyone take care. Maybe I will get back on here, maybe not. Only time will tell.

    So you say you only need a chance yet someone offered you a job and you turned it down cause it only paid 33 cents? Yeah, sounds like you want a job. Get off the internet and get a job. Stop lying on your app!
