    He probably realized he was in way over his head. He did you a favor by leaving it there rather than spilling it down the side of the mountain. My first few days of mountain driving tested every bit of my skills and resolve

    He definitely did the right thing.

    When he came to me looking for a driving job, he presented himself as a great driver, with oodles of experience.
    He had about 10 years running the highway, and another 10 years driving logging, but was driving logging truck in the fraser valley area.
    He was divorced, and looking for a new start, in a new area.
    Had moved to the kootenays, and wanted to get back into hauling logs.
    What he wasn't prepared for was the difference in terrain, or roads. When i saw him that evening, it was probably 12 hours after he had walked away from my truck.
    He was still babbling incoherently, because he was still scared.
    Handed me the keys, and left. Heard a couple of months later he was driving a 5 ton moving small freight.

    Lower mainland logging, isn't like hauling logs in the mountains.
    What they call mountains, we call small bumps.
    What they call bad roads, we consider a great road.

    Still good for a chuckle.

    you ever hear of Hasbro toy company?

    they were (maybe still are) HQ'd here in my state, and had a couple of factory locations as well.

    as a teen, i think about 17 yrs old, i worked, well almost worked at one. ''it was" a hot August day, no fans blowing, only open windows, and the HOT machinery making the air even hotter.

    1st coffee break was at 9AM, i started at 7:30

    gone............

    i "learnt" at a young age, slavery, and sweat shops, was not for me.

    Oh I truly wish some states would break away from the union ,
    A lot of states would be far better off without the federal govt demands and rules
    and taxes

    My first job out of highschool I quit the first week. Started in the shop for the first half of the week, then they decided to ship me out on a steam truck to wash pickups. Quit the moment I got back. They called me up 2 days later and said they'd like me to work in the shop full time if I considered coming back. Evidently I made a pretty good impression on the shop managers.

    I dont like the idea but as divided as we are it may end of happening. The ones that want to represent more of what America is supposed to be, the ones that don't are headed off to the wacko far left.

    So after going through all the hiring hoopla and spending more than 10 minutes doing such, she splits that scene because some of her "friends" tell her she willn't like the gig.
    She's not completely useless, there's always nude restaurants or pole dancing.

    What ever happened to Truck Interior Cleaners??
    Used to see them at Truck Stops in the 2000 decade.
    - - - - - -
    I've had crap jobs, not cleaning outhouses, but sometimes they turned better after a couple or few weeks and sometimes not.
    I just DESPISED standing around waiting on something to do, like the crowd of card players, so those were the gigs I split.

    At least with Trucking I KNEW it would get better in that I would soon be again moving, except for the 2-3 day "holidays" O.T.R., waitin' on Freight.

    I love that idea
    It preferable to having some nut jobs rules crammed down our throats .
    A lot of people have the “I will not let them turn my state into California “ mindset now .


    Most states would be far better off without the crazy federal regulations and taxes .

    Any state with some natural resources and hard working people would be far better off .
