First of all. Hi! Nice to meet you.
Second. Does one need a point when joining a forum? Third, are there required questions I must have to belong to this portion of the industry? Fourth. Yes, I have information that can help in any phase of trucking from shifting gears, to New York Hut taxes, to the benefits of having your own authority and at what level, and more. Last. If you believe my first amendment rights are an argument then by all means you're sadly mistaken.
Have you been reading what's been going on at all? All I did was mention the Constitution and freedom of speech and immediately I was met with smug, disdainful, reproach.
I don't know how long you've been in the "Industry", sweetie, but when I started driving trucks I had to fight to hold a job. You've never been jeered at because you were the wrong sex for the job, or that you were replacing a perfectly good man, and I'd be willing to bet that you've never been trapped between two trucks and threatened with rape. Yet through it all I'm still here and I am still able to walk with my head held high I've been through too much over the years to let some smug elitist yahoo with a keyboard insult my dignity and get away with it and I hope that anyone after you, who reads these posts, realizes that I'm not here to argue about anything. But at the same time, I'm not going to back down from anybody who insults my intelligence. And I'd be willing to bet my last dollar that you have the same feeling.
Now, I have a challenge for you. Go back and read what everyone posted. You will see that I was very polite and asked for concise clarification when I got the smug replies from those who, with their noses in the air, contacted me. Now you tell me. Who was looking for the argument?
