New Guy here - Hello all

PRIME inc

has issues with people being unemployed for more than 24 months

thanx for the support and encouragement guys

I went this morning and finished some paper work at a place and was told they are submitting my app to HR and as long as my BG check clears, I'm a GO!

I have no prob with the BG check. It's almost squeaky clean. Except the couple of bad check charges (all misdemeanors, under $300) I had like 15 yrs ago.

So, keeping my fingers crossed. Looks like I'll be driving a tanker with fracking sand.

God willing...

 

Life is about perseverance.

I'm driving a tanker hauling cement.
Just finished day 2.

A lot going on lately getting the family moved and getting stuff squared away for the job so that is the main reason I haven't given an update all along the way.

But, here I am. I guess I can finally say, I'm a truck driver? lol
So far I'm loving it. I was pulling a 79k lb tanker yesterday and it was totally different than pulling an empty drive van like I did at school.

I think I'm gonna like the job though.


(yes, I really am smiling)

 

Looks like a couple of you guys missed this post
Thank you for your input.

A wise man huh?
Knows ALL truth.
In such a position to sit and judge some one and knows nothing about the person.
No excuse to be unemployed you say?
lol - where to begin? Should I begin with a political analysis? Of which, ones I had plenty of time to look into the why's and how's of this Countries current (and past, and future) economic and moral woes?
No. I won't. This is not the place for the such.

A mathmatical approach perhaps? Yes, lets do the math.
Having a family to support, meaning, a wife and 4 kids, in all of your purposed wisdom, you think it logical to ditch $500 a week in UE for $200 flipping burgers or a "take what I can get kinda job"? While we're doing the math, ask yourself how is it I came to make that UE figure in the first place. That means I made some money before both citizens (and illegals) and politicians contributed to the current status.
Also, for the record, in the last 4 months or so of my UE, I filled out approximately 100 aplications. You know what I saw on those ap's? Always several hundred job seekers vying for the same job I was.


Moocher? Not at all. Anyone that knows me would tell you I make my own way. Mooch off of a criminal Government? Well, I never really thought of it as much as mooching as much as I thought of it as "hush money".
Meaning, I don't waste my time talking to most people about how to fix something, and who to point the finger at. So, when I see The Criminals raping the American people I won't feel bad for taking chump change to take care of people that actually need it.

If you want to get pissed at your tax dollars being wasted perhaps being a bit more active in voicing your opinion to Washington would help.
Doubtful, but you could still try.
Also, you can thank people that live in a matrix where everything they have is financed through banks and credit.
I've bought ###### near everything I have owned with cash.
But at least I didn't support a usurous system as much as some.

Now, accepting responsibility. CERTAINLY. Where I am able. And I am able in several things that have contributed to "who I am". But certainly not all. Oh to be perfect and either never made a mistake or got caught making it like some would have people believe would be fabulous. And to do it all again, with hind sight being 20/20, well...


So my wife looks over at me and says that we can't be a part of a forum ever because there are too many ##########.
I guess that would be logical since the same types that one would run into in the real world one would logically meet online as well.

But then again, I could just be getting picked on and acting like a perpetual victim.

Now, excuse me while I go mooch on a beer and sit back and smile knowing what's what and feed the rest fish heads
