Maybe, we should start a thread list of ---Christian Trucking Companies

Both for those seeking such, and so others can 'avoid' the Lord.

I think when you start a company it's tempting for these business owners whom hire from the general population to attempt "social" and "moral" advancement of their faith. Power corrupts.....absolute power corrupts absolutely. After all, they are holding you captive on their truck----same basic principles were used by early Missionaries ----three hots & a cot, but you got to listen to the preaching and convert.


there should be an 'opt' out on receiving that daily prayer---

why don't you call in one morning--and ask for 3 a day, in Arabic and foot wash & blanket. See, what they think?

There is an opt out, its called driving for someone else. Unless of course you somehow think you have the right to tell the owners of the company how to run their business.

Arthritis, lumbago, herpes, Aids, ingrown toenail or any other ailment you have that you can blame on the fact that some trucking companies advertise their religion? Grow up and get a life. If this is the worst you can come up with to bitch about you are doing pretty good.

On the same not however many religious people feel it their call of duty to have things from society they feel are wrong to be removed ,and protest vigoursly to have these things removed e it a billboard they feel has immoral suggestive pictures displayed or just a persons Avatar on a message board , But can't fathom the idea of opposition towards them freely displaying their beleifs openly in public... I don't complain about these things ,As tolerance has to start somewhere ,So as long as another persons way of living doesn't hurt mine I justy let them be .

Pretty well said, Big Jeep. If you don't like it just ignore it. Trying to make an issue out of it rarely works.

But on the flip side what would a highly religious person of say christian faith do if they were sent Qualcomm messages praising Allah ...or some Pagan religion ...Do you think they would ignore it ,Or choose the "OPT OUT" you suggested or instead protest that they do not want to be exposed to such Blaspheme ,and file legal suite until it's like Burger King ,and they have things their way ...Just saying for argument sake of views from both sides ...However in life I've not yet been negatively effected by anyones religious beleifs at work or play .

dis-envolve myself from their occasional 'safety' messages...

...i kinda wish i had not opened my hole...during that meeting

the looks and silence that came my way were quite discouaging
