THAT is what the LTL company "caught" as a lie, or mistruth, and THAT is why they had to let him go.
You straightened it out before I got to it Hobo.
Posters (and yes I'm guilty as well) need to read or reread a post to make sure its clear in your mind before making a comment.
You're not surprised by that are you? :shock: :lol:
But, in your defense..... the sun comes up 3 hours EARLIER here on the East Coast! :wink:
I just think it is a shame when a NEW poster comes on here and PRECLUDES his "story" with a PLEA for some real answers and NOT just quick criticism..... and then gets JUST THAT! :shock: :roll:
[He wouldn't even HAVE to "prelude" his question, except that he has READ enough of this board to know what to EXPECT!]
And often by those who have been here only a short time themselves! :roll:
I LOVE this site! But, we ALL have a responsibility here.... expecially if we respond on the NEW DRIVERS FORUM!

never mind...I knew this would be too difficult for truckdrivers to understand.
Although, that is a SLAM against us all in general.... in this case, it was warranted! We rail against the impression the PUBLIC has of us.... yet we reinforce it with our responses at times.... even to one OF us!!
Granted.... HIS command of English, as it concerns giving clear details, was lacking.... but SOME here showed no better command, as they jumped him without even understanding him!
I SWEAR.... if they gave potential truckers an ASVAB test on English comprehension.... SOME on here would NOT BE DRIVING! :roll:
Luckily, for MANY on here, there is NO REQUIREMENT to KNOW what you are talking about before you ENGAGE your mouths / keyboards!! :shock:
And I can't help but believe that that LACK of comprehension shows itself everyday in your DRIVING! :roll:
Man.... I better stop now, BEFORE I get on a RANT!! :lol: :lol:
