Where is everyone #5

Or, just read rule #1

It's simple, if all members would just read rule #1 in terms of service. Very simple !

 

Guess I get to set in this chair after while, got a tooth giving me some problems. Might just have them to unbolt it and toss it out in the shop floor.....

 

Hell, I gots some ole rusty pliers and a quart o shine that could take care of that fer ya. But I'm not as purty as that one.

 

Current situation

 

Here's the problem:

1. If you look in the heavyhaul forum, you see the warning sticky on the top of the page. Every heavyhauler that's worth his salt has had someone come up to him in a truckstop, and ask for help getting started, but getting irate when they do not hear what they want to hear. It happens here too. People want to hear what they want to hear. We had instances in the past where Chinatown came in recommending bottom feeder companies to experienced van drivers who wanted to switch to flat. We told them to beat the bushes in their area and find a real job. That's the correct answer, but that's NOT what they want to hear. So, they get mad at you and me because we say what they do not want to hear. I realized that Chinatown serves a purpose. I leave him be.

Does X1 serve a purpose? Any purpose? Well, are there some that want to hear what he has to say? Yes? Then he serves a purpose.

2. All the problems in the trucking industry, you see them here too. From the lazy minded self-centered to the guys who lurk in the background awaiting for an opportunity to spread misinformation, lies and fear. They sit in the background, hang on your and my every word, waiting for an opportunity to strike and discredit you. I wished for many years that the ignore feature would prevent the person whom you've ignored from even seeing your posts.

Those guys that take their 30 minute breaks on the fuel islands, piss all over the place, ride the middle lane and avoid using their mirrors to hell with everyone else....they're on this forum too. None of these apply to X1. He's harmless.

Not disagreeing with you, hand, just want to bring attention to another perspective. Asking the admin to mark a harmless person would start things down a destructive path.

 

You might be after the shine!

 

Had another text chat with Martin. He's doing well. Don't think he realized he was about 100 feet away from his old truck in his travels yesterday lol.

 

They were heading into Charleston. Saw 3 more just like it

 

I miss Martin

 

Still never met the man. I was hoping to meet up back in October but he was out of town the day I went thru.
