The Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth?

Thanks! That's exactly how I feel. On the other hand, I was obviously way too naive thinking that Covenant was actually interested in living Christian values. So the question becomes, if a company that markets itself as valuing integrity does not - are there ANY such companies? You've given me hope that there might be.

Remember, how when you were a kid your parents told you to be a good sportsman and not be a sore loser. Apparently not all of us were raised that way.

We lovers tend to talk and the haters tend to shout. So sometimes their shouting is hard to take. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you and all the others who have demonstrated that the haters are NOT a majority. They're simply working overtime trying to bolster a losing cause.

As you remind me, I've seen the last reel of this movie and we win in the end.

Thanks so much for your positive spiritual energy!

Yeah, having experienced this thread. A condensed version is best.

I only know too well, the difference between SIS and SES and learned it the hard way in Galena, Missouri.

What's not being understood here is how law ACTUALLY works vs how lawyers and the media tell you it works.

You do not need to be convicted to be sentenced - if you volunteer to be sentenced. A "conviction" is what occurs if a person does not volunteer and then loses during the trial process.

A suspended imposition of sentence does not deny that you've been sentenced, it simply states that they will forgo THE IMPOSITION of that sentence which HAS occurred.

If I have a knife and I choose not to cut my steak with it, the knife still exists. I haven't imposed the knife on my steak but the knife still exists, it's still available.

Until you go to a site such as http://www.sedm.org and really bear down and study law, you are simply a sheep following the advice of wolves. Visit the above site for six months and your eyes will be opened.

Law does not work the way you think it works. Neither does it work the way lawyers tell you it works. Law is a game of double-speak. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN DICTIONARY, for God's sake!

The very words you think mean one thing, mean something else, in their system. For example, did you know that IN LAW a corporation is defined as A PERSON? You have to research these issues in Black's Law Dictionary. You're using the meanings found in Webster's dictionary. YOU CAN'T DO THAT!

Rhetorical question: What's the difference between a statute and a law? Until you know the definitive answer to that question, you're just shooting blindly in the dark.

As Mack Attack says later on . . .

He admits he pleaded. What he doesn't understand is that a plea is a voluntary act and gives the court immediate and direct jurisdiction (called "original" jurisdiction). One is not required to make a plea and cannot be forced to do so.

Because of lack of experience, Mack confused the term "conviction" with "sentence". If you've already volunteered to be SENTENCED, then you no longer need to be convicted. The process is over.

There is no double-standard between MD and DOT, both recognize that Mack was sentenced. Meanwhile, apparently Werner does not make such fine distinctions. As far as they're concerned a sentence is the same as a conviction.
You can't blame them - Mack made the same mistake.

The average person doesn't know that a separate dictionary exists for law.

Ultimately, all of these words and all of these posts have occurred as a result of lack of experience. In particular, unfamiliarity with the LEGAL DEFINITIONS of words you think you understand. If you're using Webster's for your definitions, you'll be wrong every time. You MUST consult BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY!

Now that we're all exhausted, let's move on to answering Mack Attack about how best to fill out his applications!

please

We'll hold you to that, friend.

Best wishes for you in your travels and remember to always DRIVE SAFELY.

 

Your quote shows that you misunderstood my reference at the time, which was specific to what Mack, Wooly and I were talking about. Nevertheless, what you said is good advice. Thanks.

Exactly. You have pierced through the very heart of the matter.

I go back to something Wooly said, I'm proud to have been incarcerated. Especially on phony charges. I'm certainly not ashamed. Whereas, I would be ashamed of being unemployed for over a year.

Myself, I'd rather tell them I was incarcerated than tell them I was "unemployed" (which is really kind of a half-truth). But if the trucking companies are going to read "incarceration without a trial or conviction" as "guilty" then I really have no choice but to say "unemployed." Point is - I don't like that choice.

I'm an American. In this day and age where nobody stands up for anything, I stood up for something. Like a Timex watch: I took a lickin' and kept on tickin'. Some ####### on this thread spent a lot of time trying to mock me. But they only wound up mocking themselves. The real Americans know exactly what I'm talking about . . .

What's happened to America? You got a trucking company named, "Maverick" who won't hire anyone that's been fired. So they call themselves Maverick but they won't hire you if you ARE a maverick. Does that make sense?

I got fired from Covenant for pointing out that their policies are deceitful and certainly not biblical. They were so ashamed of what they were doing, they couldn't even give me a reason why they were firing me. Certainly, Jesus wouldn't have fired me! Yet the hypocrites pass out bibles and call themselves, "Covenant." What a joke.

Trucking is the backbone of America. It should be where the rubber meets the road. But ya gotta tiptoe through the tulips when you fill out applications. Kinda tell the truth - but not really.

I just think it's a shame is all But I guess that's just me.
