If everyone would just get the point, people come here for advice and real experience on certain segments of the industry, and not a lecture on staying away from OTR, Linehaul, LTL, etc!
Some folks, have great family lives, and making a good living is high on the whole families list of priorities, thus, maybe a OTR run fits the bill, sometimes not!
I personally would not work for a union outfit, it just does not fit into my makeup! But others, would rather be told, when, where, how, and if you do not like it, too bad, that is how the union boss says it will be done! Independent minded people do not fit into that segment of the industry! I hate paying insurance, to protect myself from other dipsticks, so I darn sure could see paying union dues, which pay some stiff suits salary to sit on their rears. But that is me, and not everyone!
So let's make a deal! When someone wants advice on one segment on the other, if there is something to contribute, good or bad - but truthful, by all means share. If giving some advice regarding a local or LTL deal that may fit into this persons lifestyle, then give it! But let's stop slamming one part of the industry over the other, because they are all interelated, and one cannot exist without the other!
I know, this will not last, but there is always hope! Have a nice evening! :?
Would not mind running to Cali once again, maybe the Sacremento area!! :wink: :twisted: Just kiddin'!
