That Cable Guy joke was funny. Im still laughing. Glad your in here posting. I miss your sense of humor over at the "other" place.
Don't mirror drive... The past is the past. You will get through the next 6 months no problem. It's not your fault that theres no lifeguard at the nite and weekend dispatcher gene pool. Just break the mold whenever possible and try to work with the people who have a clue. Take time to park and decompress when you need to. You can't fix stupid. :lol:

The little things like no fridge or curtains is kinda dumb but can be fixed with a cooler and curtain rod. The puppy tax is pure BS because some drivers smell worse, burn interiors with cigs and stain everything that is stainable.. Maybe the dog whisperer can train some of the decision makers over there ?? :idea:

 

I guess the idea of looking professional when wanting to be treated as a professional is lost on some folks.

 

I looked professional. I just looked like a professional cable guy instead of a professional driver. That has to count for something.

 

Oh yes those drivers sporting there Company logo clothing consisting of "SWEAT PANTS" poorly fitted T-shirts an sweatshirts , And a BALL CAP ....Alll usually stained and many times un-laundered just SMACK of "PROFESSIONALISM" . But hey when a Werner driver is dressed up like this it makes it easier for the responding law enforcement officals to spot the at fault driver just by profiling .

And the idea of exprssing basic common sense is lost on some folks :wink:

 

Easy to spot the offender, now that is funny.

The driver school I am attending they said on first day to dress in a professional manner. Sadly it includes sweat pants, what I like to refer to as clown pants (size 50 inch waist pants on a 30 inch waist kid worn around the butt cheeks with underwear sticking out the top), and a plain white t shirt 5 sizes too big not tucked in.

 

Yes and when there WHITE T's are in the wash they have the WIFE BEATERS on stand by ....HIGH FIVE

 

I agree on the sweats thing. They are generally worn by lazyassed drivers to stupid to operate a zipper or a button.

 

I spend about $200 per year on company clothing. For that, I can get about 15 button up short sleeve dress shirts.

Then again, my company also gives me a $200 clothing allowance each year. Go figure.

 

Sure seems to be a bias against sweat pants here. I've been driving for 15 years, and wore sweats the last 11. Why? I drive local construction. I found that sweats were more comfortable than jeans. I also found that I would rather ruin a $10-15 pair of sweats than a $45-60 pair of jeans. Just makes cents to me, but I guess you otr guys have more money to burn on being a fashion model than I do.

 

Yes mang But ...you are atleast content at your employer The guys I'm talking about crack me up , because they absoulutely hate the company they are at , buty have purchased company logo clothing infact when I first started with them (WERNER) in 2005 there was guy who was beyond pissed and as he was quiting and getting ready to turn in his keys he took a leak on the steps of the tractor , and did this while wearing a werner ball cap T-shirt sweat pants ,and one of the lanyards with his name tag on it .
