    I heard, but have to check before i try it, My state has a law that it is legal for women to go around topless. Now the guys are always cutting grass on the tractor, no shirt. I want to try this. Oh BTW have i told you I live in a Amish community?:biggrin_25526: They may lock their kids up after this one!!!

    Because I was cold. And not feeling well. And running a slight fever...

    And because there was a strange man standing on my step. :biggrin_25522:

    Ah, there are many different definitions of strange. Pick your favorite. (I love ambiguous words...)

    Hey, where's Nana? It only took 8 posts to hijack the thread...I thought she was queen of hijacks....or was that hijinx....

    Time for the Injun to head for the Wigwam. 'Night, y'all.

    You know if there are real issues then by all means it is your right to complain , you live in a free country don't you? Then a lot of moaning is just banter that is a form of stress relief. Drivers don't sit at the dinner table every night getting the little frustrations off their chests like the average 9 to fiver does.They share it with their trucking fraternity given a chance.There for truckers can seem like a bunch of winers at times. I would therefore not take most of it to seriously. Living in Africa like I do (I'm one of the few fortunate ones) I find a lot of the complaints insignificant as you still mostly got it good. I do appreciate the large perspective difference so in that context your complaints may be valid indeed. As I said in another thread I would think that in the times you Americans find your in "Ask not what your company can do for you but rather what you can do for your company".

    The only problem with this law is that most of the women who chose to go toppless shouldn't. Just like at the nude beach, most people who go to the nude beaches should keep their close on!

    So EVERYONE who post's in this section is whining and crying? Interesting thought, not one that I agree with, though.
    What about those who complain about a company that keeps them sitting? Or promises one thing, but does another? Or just doesn't give a #### about anything or anyone but only about moving their freight from A to B? Just a bunch of whiners, eh?
    "Be thankful you have a job" only goes so far anymore. No job at all is better than some of these bottom feeding companies, IMHO.
    Besides, this is Report a Bad Company section, what are people supposed to post?

    Why aren't you hauling freight anymore? Didn't like the companies you had to deal with? Weren't you thankful you had a job?

    IMO: People posting thier "whine" is helpful to those who are new or thinking of joining the industry. We all know that companies will sell ya a bill of goods so to speak MAYBE by reading things on here a newer person will have BETTER more INFORMED questions to ask at the interview?? MAYBE they wont get caught up in a SCAM?

    EVERYONE has to get things off their mind, vent, rant, rave etc NO matter who you are or what you do for a living. In this economic and yes governmental craziness MAYBE people venting is a good thing and there will be less high blood pressure.
