    As long as drivers keep signing they will keep doing. Fortunately I'm in a position where I don't need to settle for a dumb dumb job but even if I were, I seriously doubt my pride would allow it.

    I literally just saw a Class A HAZMAT driver job advertised at $10.00 a hour. Wow. Crazy. So I responded via email and typed HAHAHAHAHA and then copy/pasted/copy/pasted/copy/pasted/copy/pasted it. What that does is doubles the characters each time. 10 goes to 20 to 40 to 80 etc..Turning my 10 letters into 2 pages of HAHA. Juvenile I know (but I'm only 34)

    Several years ago, I was looking at a local propane hauling job. They were going to pay 8.50 per hour.

    I asked if they were kidding and they were serious. Somebody else got the job.

    Well, my days of being ripped off are almost over (quitting crst) and so I am now seeking a coveted "local" position. Jobs are varying from $10-$23 a hour. Incredible diff. Still filtering out where I fit in locally tho. SO MANY VARIABLES
