While it is a great company, yes, I must agree, their hiring standards slipped just a bit last fall... Seems like you didn't even need to know how to back a combo vehicle and they would toss you in the seat... Thankfully they fired that lazy recruiter and the quality of drivers has risen considerably since then... WHEW

 

And what about that new fangled thingy they keep calling "jacob's brake" ... Let me tell you right here and now, you ain't no twue twucker unless you can grab the right gear as you fly down a 7% drown grade with flames coming off your tamdems!!! I just don't get kids these days... {grumbles incoherently} ... letting the engine do half the work for you... Lazy bums... What's this country coming too???

AND STAY OFF MY YARD!!!

 

I love the iShift in my Volvo...

and I pray to the Almighty above that I may never need to double clutch ever again.

Almost as ugly as my backing... LOL

 

see what i mean about the NC bunch
maybe a random is in order

 

Well today (day 2) of being on the yard. Thankfully a mechanic did wake me up to take my truck in for a service so hopefully I'll get out of here today. Besides watching tv, ease dropping on everyone's conversations and giving my opinion in my head, and eating chinese food I'm very bored. Seen a couple new 17 KWs. They're ok I guess. Be safe everyone

 

Disclaimer: no actual recruiters were fired during this attempt of humor...

 

Just high on life my friend... High on life...

 

Been a good pay period this time. About time. On the down side, I was supposed to be home yesterday, but am in Houston, 1400 miles from home. It's all good as I didn't have any plans this time around. Should have over 6700 miles before end of the pay period. Best check ever! And since it's taking me almost another week to get home, I get an extra day off to boot. Another bonus? Avoiding all the nasty weather heading east that I would've been in all the way home. Win, win situation!

 

5-speed are you still in Richmond
