I read this thread after posting a response on JB_Buddy's thread. I did edit said post after reading this, but it may still be a bit racy if you guys are gonna wax diplomatic here. I can do another edit if needed.

Sounds like this Dude dude is trying to pull a fast one on you guys. Come on. I know you can see this, WiseMan. My guess is he's been here before and has been banned. He's come back because he has unfinished business to tend to, as you did ban him after you caught onto him. His number of trophies look lower than his quota for this month, so he has to make contact again with a few potential recruits who gave him nibbles when he was here last. He still has some time to make that bonus.

If I ran this site, and I'm not trying to criticize anyone understand, recruiters would never be allowed to post, no matter if they promise to behave themselves and promise not to exploit the site for their own personal gain. Personal gain that ultimately comes at the expense of the average JB driver. Yeap, the leech that is the trucking company recruiter would be gone for good if he made himself known, either directly or in subtle ways.

But that's just me. I can say that it is good in a way a recruiter comes around, as recruiters sooner or later always reveal their true colors on these websites. I know, as I've IMPed a website or two in my time.

It is far better to let him post. If he chooses to hang himself, then it is on him. Wiseone will show that he is the bigger man, willing to allow the enemy safe shelter. Dude will either play by the rules or not, if Wiseone didn't even give him the chance to, it might look like he is the one who has something to hide.

That's a good idea. Do a search in about six weeks for a site with that very name.
ahhhhhh The joys reading ad hominem attacks. People who post such have nothing better going for themselves. They certainly don't have any argruments that hold water.
Well? Let's hear some, Einstein. You have all the answers, right?

I did a quick domain name search. Looks like "tinfoilhats.com" might still be available if you act quickly....

You guys are so entertaining!

Tip, you are paranoid, but that is not meant as an insult! I am paranoid too, and so is Uncle Bob! (I am the one who right after one company fired my hubby was doing the math to see how much to rescue him if the next company pulled that kind of trick! LOL! So, who is paranoid?)

Thanks, guys!

Remember, just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean that they aren't out to get you.

Ad homo- ...who???

What does that mean?

WiseOne · Aug 19, 2007

An ad hominem argument, also known as argumentum ad hominem (Latin: "argument to the person", "argument against the man") consists of replying to an argument or factual claim by attacking or appealing to the person making the argument or claim, rather than by addressing the substance of the argument or producing evidence against the claim. It is most commonly used to refer specifically to the ad hominem abusive, or argumentum ad personam, which consists of criticizing or personally attacking an argument's proponent in an attempt to discredit that argument.

The site can do what it wants, but to me if the guy is shifty on other sites and just using them to spout company propaganda, why would you think it would be any different here. The site says it is different then the others but at least a couple, if not more posters seem to be mouthpieces for these big meat-grinder outfits IMO.

I would believe a driver who worked for them with a axe to grind or not over a recruiter any day. If recruiters for these meat-grinder outfits told the truth even half of the time it would certainly mean alot of trucks collecting dust at the yard.

The sheer size of companies like JB, Swift, USX and Schneider should tell any driver that the miles per week graph on your laptop will look like the Himalaya Mountain range and that you will be treated like just another piece of equipment to be used. Many drivers are not prepared for what will happen to them once they join one of these outfits. I was lucky because I worked for the ultimate meat-grinder outfit for 5 years (Military) so it was not that big a deal for me. Long hours, low pay, indifference to my needs, that was something I was already used to.

Are you talking about Mr Dude? Or? We already taken care of some of the other "shifty" ones...but we are not aware of Mr Dude doing this.

MACK E-6 · Aug 19, 2007

Not as of yet, and he has been warned, So there is little to be concerned about.

Burky · Aug 19, 2007

Sorry, but the rule is tht we hold each poster accountable for the things that they say, not accountable for something that someone else might have said or done.

Mr Dude has not come on here and done anything with any negative connotations, other than stating who his employer is and what his job function is.

It's truly sad that a couple of people feel that becaue of his job, he should be summarily banned from the site, but it simply doesn't work that way. We allow people on here to express their opinions, and communicate with one another within the rules of the forum. We do watch to ensure that conversations take place within the rules, but unless someone violates those rules, or outrages the sensibilities of the forum to such an extent that he or she has to be banned, we don't ban them.

As I said earlier, Mr Dude is a resource and has shown a willingness to answer questions about his job. He is not able to answer every question about every issue that anyone has about his employer or trucking companies in general, nor should he have to do so.

Give the guy a chance, don't crap all over him based on your feeling about his employer or mega trucking companies in general. Or, you will manage to run him off, and there won;t be anyone that you can ask those questions to.
