McBride: It's beginning to look like your email list will be shorter than an IRS agent's list of goodbuddies, lol. Sorry! :7

David, next time, tell the boys to play "I'm on my way (from misery to happiness, today)" by The Proclaimers - it sure fits what they're doing, lol. And it has a nice, bouncy beat, great for getting busy! :D

Greg: I apologize for yelling - when it comes to moderating, I'm working under a learner's permit, and haven't mastered the endless patience that most of them display. I am working on that. The trigger for my outburst was this: you say, in post 12, that you have experience expediting, but you...

OBTAINING A CDL IS NOT A LONG OR SHORT TERM GOAL IN THIS JOB - IT IS A STARTING POINT!!

What the guys are telling you is that your questions make it clear that you don't have the most basic knowledge of, or qualification for, the job that you are trying to get. In a hurry, no less. The people who can survive flying by the seat of the pants are few & far between - the rest of us...

The boys have produced a sleeper to be proud of, and you've produced boys to be proud of - good job!

I was doing Lawrence a favor by not going to the breakfast! I heard somewhere that there were a few more people registered for the meal than actual meals available, so I thought I'd do what I could to help, by sleeping instead of eating. :P :P :P

If the company disqualified, a driver under those circumstances, and then reported the driver to DOT as having refused to test, that would be legitimate reason to consult an attorney. It would be interesting to hear the company's reason for such blatantly unfair practices.

TallCall, I know you're not going to change your mind, but I'd like to point out one error in your argument: responsible parents, be they gun owners or not, know that you cannot hide anything from children - especially if you're in the habit of leaving them unsupervised. The children who "find"...

Like Linder, I tend to get nervous too, for the skills part, & deep breathing helps, really. Just keep reminding yourself that you know the stuff, just show the stuff - they've seen nervous before, lol. Good luck!

TallCall: I agree with you 100% on Iraq & Bush, but think you're 100% wrong about gun control. The criminals & crack dealers already have weapons, & would continue to have them even under gun control, because they are criminals. I'd like the predators to have to wonder if the "prey" might be...

Thanks - I've never had a bad time, laughing...I didn't get to meet you at this Expo, hope to next time!

I know truck driving schools do it every day, I did it too - and, had I known that Missouri requires parallel parking the tractor/trailer in BOTH directions to pass the test, I might have picked a different state, lol. But the presumption is that the driver has more than a couple months total...

I sure hope Dave Grossman is a better sheepdog than writer, because the essay is so full of contradictions, unwarranted assumptions, and untruths, that it's basically drivel. To point out just a few: Contradictions: "Sheep are not capable of hurting each other except by accident or extreme...

You guys are a riot!! You know, a five year old deciding how to spend his twenty five cents qualifies as a "financial planner", too...:P

Sure it does - to the folks who have got, or will get, a steady job, earning enough money to provide for a family, with benefits, from Toyota! Or Honda, because those jobs aren't offered anymore by the American manufacturers. :(

RE: Epes Express, Why say your hiring,when you are Hobo: did the Epes representative tell you that they were hiring company drivers in the classification that you applied for? What I mean is, if you're looking to drive a C or D unit, but they're looking to hire t/t drivers, then they ARE...

Thanks for the heads-up, and I hope you find someone to drive for , or someone finds you, soon. :)

I saw it - but not until "the Sopranos" became a hit, lol. It's cool to find any bit of humor in any government project - extremely surprising, but very cool! ;)

RE: by request.. close ups of the Heros Truck Thanks, Dreamer, excellent photos! :-) Especially the Heroes truck - a fantastic reminder of our blessings & strengths. :-) :-)
