Snackbar's new adventure at Moore Freight Services

Better you than me. Have fun in the white stuff

 

Filling out a job app for a job you already have is never a good sign. They're weeding, you best have a plan b.

 

Do you actually have a career as as a truck driver or are you just a wannbe? You seem to be all over the board giving your opinions as to what members post. As for me, I'm not a truck driver. I'm a well paid steering wheel holder.

 

That's what happens when you let the old office people go first. You lose the one guy who knew where everything is.

 

If you are asking do I drive a truck, the answer would be yes, yes I do. Is this called a career? In some instances, it might be considered that. "All over the board"? No, generally, I stay in 2 or 3 forums.. If that, in your opinion, is "all over the board", then yes, guilty as charged. "Giving my opinions," is generally what happens around here, I'm certainly not going to give someone else's opinions, that would be silly, don't ya think? Mastered a lot of things over the years, but mind reading ain't one of 'em. But I am working on it! Then maybe I could give someone else's opinion.

Personally, I think this is a waste of space on SSB's fine thread on Moore Freight, don't ya think? Sorry, SSB, back to original programming.

 

True, but it gives me a goal to try and achieve!

 

No. It's the right comment to make. I have enjoyed reading SSB posts on all of the companies he has worked for. Sadly, all of the companies he has worked for have been OTR companies. Haven't you figured out that most OTR company drivers are not being paid for all of their time? Who, in their right mind would work for free? Certainly not me. Does it piss me off? Yes it does. I feel for those drivers out there. I drive next to them everyday. This industry stinks to high heaven when it comes to paying the drivers! The cost of healthcare is usually high, They get to the customer and usually have to give X amount of hours before they get paid for waiting, PTO is a joke for most of these drivers. And what is their cost of living working for their company? They need to eat and do laundry. I receive 13 paid holidays per year. If I work on a holiday, I get double time and a half. I receive 12 paid sick days per year at my regular 8 hour rate. I receive unlimited paid jury duty at my regular 8 hour rate. My vacation pay is calculated off my last year paycheck and paid at 1 5/2 of the gross. And I'm home in my own bed every night.

This is what it looks like to work for a good company!
