    Ok, oh mighty John, your point has been made, and all your minions have made theirs. So friggin what I don't want to run NYC? A lot of folks don't. Do you call everyone that doesn't a steering wheel holder? Probably not. There are also quite a few that don't run the NE. I am not one that is that lucky. Higgins loves to send me there. Are those drivers steering wheel holders? No. There are some drivers who call those who drive automatics steering wheel holders. Who the heck cares?????

    My original point, before all of you tight you-know-what's went off was I'd rather not run that way and when I was hired, the policy was different. I've never in my life felt so attacked by people in my own company.

    There. I've said what's on my mind and all you holier than thou folks can go back to the "All Johnboy, All The Time" thread.

    Tonya, this was not directed at you. This was directed at the drivers that I have had to repower loads from because they threatened to quit if sent there. You blasting off like this is not warranted. No one was pointing the finger at you. After 34 years of this profession, and listening to "truck drivers" biotch, complain, moan and the like, I for one would rather not see these drivers bring their expertise to the northeast. My original post about this had nothing to do with running NYC, it had to do with repowering loads, which costs the company $300-500 per repower. Which, in the end costs you and I a raise. Personally I want to see the company enforce the note on the wall by dispatch reminding everyone of the forced dispatch policy. So, in ending, I will openly opologize to you if I offended you, that was not my intention, and the others that chimed in will, I'm sure, tell you the same. Now, if I can only get my wife to think I am holier than thou, I might have something here.

    Holier than thou? Really? Hail to John! Long live John Boy!

    Now for the point. If you own your truck do it your way. If you drive someone else's truck do it there way. And by the way, I never saw you called out on this, RC., by name or handle. So why the Temper tantrum?

    And this is where these companies are far more "liberal" than I am. If I owned the truck and company, and I need you to go to NYC or LA, you're going. First time I hear "I won't" will be the last time. Bunch of #######, lol
