I totally agree with you and SD on the poor ethics and bathing suit attire 110% ..it's just the way SD stated it all in call caps initially in his closing remarks to a public forum, and not the individual. Thats all im saying. Well, im outta here..gotta go buy a bathing suit for my interview tomorrow. Maybe Cluggy will show up with some mint jelly. :lol:

I know several people that worked for Praxair/Linde hauling liquid hydrogen and bulk oxygen, nitrogen and argon. WAS a good job right up until the former Union Carbide/Linde Division/Air Seperation Group now known as "Praxair" summarily FIRED all of it's company drivers on the west coast in 1994. Contracted out to Jack B. Kelley at a LOT less in wages and bennies....I guess they needed the money after they killed all those people (25,000) in Bhopal, India in 1989. And of course, they had to get it out of the drivers, never the executives.....

AGAIN...I wasnt commenting on truck drivers in general.
Sheesh......Are you dating cluggy or something?

Well that statement makes me feel kinda special. It also proves your an idiot. Someone doesn't like your tone towards your posts, and all of a sudden, they are my best buddy?
How about this? Maybe they don't like you either. Or at least, what you have to say.
And one more thing. No-one here beleives anyone would show up to a interview in a bathing suit. Just another lie. Instead, just tell the people and the other farm animals the truth for a change. The guy didn't get hired, and you don't know why.
Or better yet, keep on lying. Like I said, your post speaks louder than I ever could about you, and the company you represent.

Anyone with a high school education knows to wear proper clothing for a job interview.

Come on now, do you really beleive that a guy needing a job would show up to a interview in a bathing suit? It's a lie, told by a guy who really thinks that the drivers on this board are stupid enough to believe it. The guy he sent didn't get hired, and he doesn't know why. But instead of posting that, lets make that guy look stupid by telling everybody that he showed up in a bathing suit.
You better go get a shovel if your going to start buying the crap sheepdancer will give you....discounts available when you purchase by the ton. :roll:

Nope cluggy, that is exactly what happened. There was more to the story, he was actually wearing a bathing suit and flip flops. And he was also an hour late for the interview.
For the record, we always know the reason drivers we recruit arent hired, whether it be for JB or an outside company.
Again, I never said its just drivers who do this sort of thing. In my life ive condcuted many interviews in many different types of jobs. And Ive seen people show up wearing very strange things.
