    this exists in every other industry as well, not just trucking

    the employees break their back and the boss gets the Bentley

    occasionally the employees break their back for nothing and the boss gets 1 Bentley per child

    Really dude? Come one you didn't grow up in an age before air conditioning. Yeah people used to live without it and many died from exposure. We moved forward. Tell you what, next time you get sick don't use any medicine invented after the furnace. Just man up.

    You actually blame societal flaws on heaters???? Wow, you have a rocking chair and a porch don't you.

    Actually I did grow up without air conditioning. Summer jobs worked on a farm near Spokane, bucking bales of hay in the heat and using shade under a tree for our rest breaks. I think that's how folks have managed to survive before the last few decades, and I'll bet your folks lived and thrived before air conditioning somewhere along the line.

    You cooled the house by opening windows to catch a breeze and planting a tree for shade or putting in extra insulation. Then there was the concept of cooling off at the swimming hole, but I suppose "modern" folk would be too frightened they might encounter God's creation if they did that today. Better stay safe in air conditioning and play video games.

    Your first mistake was talking to a company that has recruiters.

    We're not tourists. It's real life.

    Hermetically sealed is our climate.

    ...every company has recruiters

    somebody processes your application and does a follow-up and all that


    and yes there are people who say "yea well I spoke to Jeff of Jeff's Trucking directly" but those jobs are so few and far between, they exist, and exist in great numbers but that's about it. You can't just go to Roadmasters (which by the way is also a 2 weeks, get in, get the hell out and pay us operation) and then go work for Jeff and go home every night, somehow that misconception appeared. Sure there are people who do it but they have so many connections and everything. If my future offspring (who never will exist) had a guaranteed job at my aristocratic trucking company i'd train them myself over the course of 21 years. no offence to roadmasters or the local community college but i'd teach them differently and i'd teach them probably better
