    Just for the record, when I had my union bread hauling job( Bimbo:laughing-guffaw:, although it wasn't called that then), running over a curb and bending a rim was a "chargeable" offense. Not sure if it goes on your record as such, I'd sure find out before wasting any more time.
    Re: pets. People sure do unbelievable things because of their pets. A guy that lives in the apt. next door, is getting evicted because the dog was off leash. IDK, get's awful cold in these parts, obviously, I'm not a pet person, I have enough trouble taking care of myself, but this person will have to pass on several , what I would consider decent jobs, but if you have to have the dog, you have to take what you can get, and that isn't always the best option. Companies don't appreciate missed appts because the dog was sick. I know, my daughter is a dog lover and can't understand how someone doesn't like dogs, but it's true. Don't be harsh, I have known a few good dogs, but many reflect the idiot owners, and that's a shame.

    Knock on wood she is a good dog. Never craps or pees in the truck. I usally try to get her to go out before we leave. Or while at a rest stop. I hoping to get this Climate Express job. Because tring to get unemployment here in Missouri seems to be a pain in the ### with the former being up in Wisconsin

    I understand, but some companies don't see it that way. A hundred good dogs can never make up for that one bad one they encountered. I think( hope) companies are realizing, dog owners can be responsible drivers. We need you, good luck.

    I was not pulled over by DOT for the rim. I turned in to get it fixed.

    I should be more precise, it was a company infraction, and indicated inattentive driving. I hated that job,,,
