    The dispatcher told me to hide all expenses receipts and all ..sounds fishy

    could anyone explain to me what might be the reason why I have to hide all my expenses.

    I dont miss those one bit!!!

    Me and a good friend worked together moving pipe for 2 summers. We moved 25 lines (a line is 34 pipe IIRC), three times a day, all summer, both summers.

    Pay was $5.25/line/move for hay. $6.00/line/move for potatoes, beets, and grain. $7.00/line/move for peas & oats. We worked side by side so we split the pay/line/move right down the middle.

    This engine replacement was entirely too long and issues happened every step of the way. I have the worst luck. Was ready to say eff it and be done altogether. Got very frustrated and depressed a few times. My nuts couldn’t take another kick.

    BUT I decided I wouldn’t let this BS beat me. This made me feel much better this morning. They began install without me as I had to run to Ohio to get parts. C2F1F80C-8E16-4153-91E9-64CB138A1B0B.jpeg
