    What's the purpose of the sign/policy?
    Latinos tried to communicate in Spanish with you and it was too difficult to accommodate or you did not like the foreign sound?

    I'm not going to be drawn into an argument with you nor do I feel any need to justify my actions and beliefs beyond what I've already done.
    You thrive on argument for argument's sake but you're very unschooled in the rules of debate.
    Take some time and read post number 7 again. It explains everything you're, again, asking about.

    I never had any formal schooling on how to debate. But I did not see this to be a debate either.
    You made a point of how strong you feel about non-speaking English at your work environment and that sign was your cherry on the cake.
    You disagreed that the sign was hostile, yet you admitted that people were complaining about it.
    I only hoped that I could be somehow explained by you - a schooled debater - about that sign being justified as something else but a sign of hostility.

    Joe,

    Everyone is trying to tell you to let it go. We all are good. You're good. Let it rest. Have a great weekend and a coke and a smile and let it go.

    Sincerely,
    Everyone

    h receiver you dealt with is just a contemptuous little snot.
    The receiver I talked with the other day was just frustrated with a driver that couldn’t understand one word of direction to sign the pickup BOL.

    He wasn’t short with the driver at all. But when he walked over to my truck shaking his head I asked what was wrong. Like you, he needed the BOL filled in legible..Initial, print name, signature and Carrier name. All he got was an identical scratch in each spot..
    “What am I supposed to do with this “ is what he said to me.

    Showing contempt for someone, simply because they have an accent is just pure ignorance. Sometimes talking with someone with a strong accent I just asked them to speak slower so my pea brain can process what they are saying.
    I been with a Peruvian woman for about 18 years and still there are times when I don’t understand :) sometimes it’s funny and other times frustrating.

    I’ve been to a few shippers where it is required to communicate in English “for safety reasons”Coca~Cola is one of them.

    I’m flatbed I figure price based on grossing $1166 a day after fuel. I go out for around a month then home for 2-3 weeks. Sometimes the rate is $6 for 500 miles or sometimes it’s $2.25 for 3000 miles. Goal is to average 1k after fuel for every day I’m gone from home. Run pretty hard so I reset after 6 days so I still want to get the $1k for my reset day.
