    Jumbuck is Back

    Hi everyone. I am back in the saddle again. I am a contracted driver for a lady in Livonia, MI who has several trucks on with Tri-State. The terms seem a lot better than the 25% I was getting with my previous owner. Tri-State seems to be a lot bigger than the company I was with before. If anyone...

If ya got sense enough, open up a dictionary once in a while! How does that make you feel? Does that make you feel good? That's just the way I am, if...

    What to do when this happens

    If you call someone a nasty name and they really are that name, it is not nasty. Now, one more time to try to explain and then I'm done with this....Newer less experienced drivers turn to you more experienced drivers, (as evidenced by the number of your posts) for much needed help and advice...

    What to do when this happens

    Man, ya got a point there, but still, it doesn't hurt ANYONE to be nice and polite to someone who is merely asking a question from someone whom they think might be able to help them. I don't think he was saying, "Hey!" "I have a question, but please answer me in the rudest, nastiest, most...

    What to do when this happens

    Well, *********, I'll be dipped in horse**** if I can see where he's a bad speller! I had NO trouble understanding exactly what he was saying. After all, this is NOT Spelling and Grammar 101! I wish our politicians spoke as plain as he did.

    What to do when this happens

    Ya know, Moot you really seem like a nice, knowledgeable guy! Why do have to be such an anal orifice? People come to you for advice, not to be put down or insulted! I'll bet you wouldn't put up with somebody talking to you like that for 1 second! Why be so insulting and excuseing it as...

    Thanks for the memories, Ladies and Gentlemen! Out of a job!

    Well, thanks again for your replies, but I received it straight from the horse's mouth this morning. I called the Central States Re-employment hot line and they presented it to the "board" and they said driving a van or even a small truck (and beleive me I took a good amount of time explaining...

    Thanks for the memories, Ladies and Gentlemen! Out of a job!

    Turtle: You may have something there, but help me out here if you will. If I drive for someone else, and that's the only way I could do it, if I am not his employee, what am I. I'm not trying to be smart, I really don't know. What say you??? Jumbuck:confused:

    Thanks for the memories, Ladies and Gentlemen! Out of a job!

    Thanks for responding to my situation, everyone, but I would like you all to read something and tell me if you read the same thing I do in this. This is from the Central States Pension Booklet. It says: Prohibited Reemployment after retirement: If you are receiving a pension, you'll be in...

    Thanks for the memories, Ladies and Gentlemen! Out of a job!

    You are absolutley right, Zorry! It is the Teamster's pension you we are talking about. But can anyone live on 878.00 a month? And, trucking is ALL I've EVER done! I know nothing else! Besides here in Flint, MI where I subsist, THERE ARE NO OTHER JOBS! So,I again, am seeking to work for a...

    Thanks for the memories, Ladies and Gentlemen! Out of a job!

    It has been a real pleasure talking with all you people, but unfortunatley, we had a bad situation with our van owner and we are now out of a job! We lasted a year so I don't think that's too bad. We had a LOT of fun and got to see the US and see things we never thought we'd EVER see. Can't get...
