Still not sure which of us you are asking, but as for ME..... yeah, I think so! But, I think I killed the teacher! :lol:
Yes it was... and thanks for the laugh :lol:

Well, His posts are pretty funny sometimes, usually more entertaining than mine. :lol:
No they're not. He just puts lots of smileys after them to make you THINK he is being funny! :roll:
I am not comparing BD to Mark Twain and W.C. Fields, but they were cynical and funny. BD is just BD. He has helped me a couple of times when I asked him and know you won't be teaming anytime soon.
I work with alot of people that are cynical and are pretty good at making fun of others while performing their very own stupid human tricks. We just all laugh at each other and move on to get the job done. 8)

Well actually I was asking BD and didn't specify who I was asking. My Bad. ops: Another poor attempt on my part at being humorous.
Since this is your thread I will ask a different question.
Nope, not MY thread! My fault! I shouldn't have answered a question ABOUT me in someone ELSE'S thread! IT is MY bad! :lol:

Hell..... I don't even know if I'm ALLOWED to comment on your question in THIS thread! Better ask the Rev if I can do so!
No need because Rev has his own threads to entertain everyone in. :lol: :lol:
In fact, nevermind! But, you will go down in history as being the first idiot to respond to this thread! Well..... besides ME, I guess! :lol:
Well, I have always liked being a trail blazer. :roll: :lol:

How many CAD members have you ever contacted by PM and asked them to meet you in person? And how many have actually met or ran into without planning it? Out of the ones you met, were you glad you did?oh, one more? Were you able to find another Job? I remember you posting about trying to find another one recently.
Okay, I'm going to assume this question is for ME. But, it is a difficult one to answer. I have PM's with MANY CAD members, but only ONE so far that I have met in person. (none by accident, this one was plannned.) As it is possible that she might read this, your question is STILL hard to answer, and should NEVER have been asked. But, no ..... we weren't a good "fit," and I would have preferred to remember her as she was on this board, and not in person.
I didn't explain it well but was thinking more along the lines of other male memebr that you might have networked with, bought parts from or asked about a job with them... I wasn't trying to ask about realtionships with members the way it came out. Sorry about that. I was interested more in you ever met anyone like GMAN, Steve or the regulars while waiting in a line or having repairs done and meeting by coincidence.
What would you do if you ever met BD at a fuel island and he helped you without either one of you knowing it's you? :shock: :lol: :lol:
Oh, In the future just tell me you aren't going to answer something if it's not clear. Since this is the first forum that i have ever taken an interest I am learning alot about posting/forums and enjoy everyones talent in getting their point's across because I failed miserably at english in high school. ops:
Anyway, I was talking to another driver that we still play trukz with yesterday on the cell. He said he met one of our trukz members at a TA and put two and two together and they both got a good laugh out of it. :lol: 8)
Yes, I am working again, thank you.
Your Welcome and nice to hear
My company folded with no notice, and I took the first week off to "deal" with the shock. The second week, I started thinking about my alternatives, and checking into them. I had been teaming since I started trucking, and wanted to go SOLO for my next "experience" if possible. But, I don't play that game of 5 weeks out and 3 or 4 days at home!
The third week, I had several interviews, and some of them fell through. One because I was 4 months short of the required 3 years experience!
The fourth week, I was still contacting a few others, but was trying to nail down the one company that offered what I wanted most. The 5th week, I was tentatively hired by this company, but needed to wait for the insurance approval, and the availability of a truck. (I didn't go with a mega, obviously!)
This weekend, I am home again, after my first week out with my new company. I made more than I ever did in one week with my past company, I am STILL working for a small company that gives me the freedom I require, and I have already been promoted to a newer and nicer truck! I will get to go to MOST places I want to go, and don't have to go where I don't WANT to go.
And, YES..... I am happy to be OTR (on the road) again! I could probably have been in another "TEAM" truck within the first week, but I've had enough of that. Changing to Solo.... and doing it "My Way"... has been a tougher task, but I hope the rewards will be worth it.
Thanks for asking![/quote]
Your welcome.
Job hunting really sux.I have been looking at companies for a while and it's a tough market right now. For me I will start at the bottom and work my way up as everyone else here has. I have the luxury of hanging out and leaving when the time is right.. And you did very well to find another niche at "cheers trucking". Glad to hear it's working out for you. 8)
