I need to find out how to get a job up there. Those guys are making a killing. Hugh is up to 42,000 and still another episode left.

 

If you do get a job up there and that's your truck's picture on your avatar I sure as hell wouldn't take it up there. That's a good looking truck! 8)

 

Funny Continental about Hugh having more chance to fall threw the ice! I laughed for quite a while over that one. As far the previous commit before mine. (I don't know how you guys post over peoples commits on your posting). But I don't think it would be all that hard to get on with Hugh's company. I went thru Werner training with Drew and again I'll say a lot of people not just myself were pretty amazed at some of the stuff he would say in class etc. He didn't seem like he was playing with a full deck. Although now a lot of guys might want to be on a tv series so Hugh might get some better drivers to chose from. I know I wouldn't freeze my behind off for no amount of money.

 

You just click on the QUOTE icon at the top right of a post you want to respond to - if you want to include it - like I just did.

OR.... If you just want a "partial quote," you highlight and copy that part right out of the post you are reading, then hit reply at the bottom. When it opens the Post a Reply box, you just position the cursor, right click and PASTE, like this:

THEN.... if you want that to show in a blue box, you just highlight it in YOUR reply box, and then click the QUOTE tab just above where you are typing. Then it comes out like this:

Is that what you were asking?? If so, hope this helped. I think there is also a "sticky" somewhere on the site about how to do it.

 

Thanks Golfhobo, I'll give it try.

 

Hugh reminds me ALOT of one shop foreman I had while driving. He never wanted to fix ANYTHING and everything was the drivers fault. How can a ECM failing be driver error also with the cold up there metal will just break. Blaming a driver for a broken spring from a hole covered with snow sorry if he did not see it until he had no time to miss it also coolant leaks at -40 I want my coolant in my motor not on the ground. The fact Hugh refused to fix his heater shows me all he cares about is MONEY not his DRIVERS HEALTH. If you look Hugh was driving a 2001-2 International while his drivers were struggling in mid 90's Freightliners so who made sure he had the better equipment to the determent of his drivers.

 

If Hugh is so tough, why didnt he just trade trucks with Rick and drive the one with no heater..

 

didnt mean to offend you, I just meant that if we havent been there and done it, we cant really know what it's like. and frankly, I dont have the guts to try it.

 

Good luck if you are not Canadian, you would have to get a Canadian work visa, my uncle from Edmonton trucks up there, there used to be more money in it years ago.
