    The Myth Of Male Power

    What? I said a lot not all try to flirt. Women tend to flirt when they want something, that waitress isn't calling you "Honey" because she thinks you are sweet, she wants a bigger tip. As soon as they start using this method men are going to objectify them and will no longer have the same amount...

    The Myth Of Male Power

    The studies that show women make less than men are always trying to prove that exact outcome so they are biased. They need to take men and women that have put in the same time at the job, have similar education, and the same confidence level. The fact is that you are unlikely to ever find that...

    September 11-17th...National Truck Driver Appreciation Week

    I think when people complain about another male or female not giving them praise they usually have mommy or daddy issues. The special weeks or days to give respect to professions or people are just manufactured to push sales or keep people from complaining. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    American flag lowered in presence of saudi flag

    Yeah you're right, let's get her. :D It looks like someone put it there because the pole broke and instead of no American flag they did the best they could. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    enabling or charity?

    It doesn't sound lazy, he is selling an item so he would be considered self employed. A lot of these guys come back not with PTSD but end up depressed and need some time to get their lives back on track. My brother did fine on his first tour in Iraq but on his second tour his wife left so he...

    Independent Reviews Of CDL Training Program

    I went through SAGE Truck Driving School, overall I think the school program was put together well and was very educational. The issue I had was that there were some very unprofessional people involved as instructors, they were trying to get one guy fired because they did not like him but I...

    Today's New Truck Drivers and Their Training

    I think there are a number of reasons for the shortage, it is a male dominated industry but we are feminizing men so they lose that adventurous spirit. Do the boys today even play cowboys and Indians or is it viewed as to violent and no longer PC? I think driving is looked down on but somebody...

    LOL, Nascar Drivers to barry...Thanks, but NO Thanks..

    What about a leader that is viewed in a very negatively? Like Ahmadinejad. I would probably meet him if invited just to listen to him speak, the news clips make him look crazy but this guy has to be intelligent to be in the position he is in, though I could be wrong. I am curious to hear the...

    Today's New Truck Drivers and Their Training

    I only named those two companies that were better because they are comparable in size. I can list more, Prime, WEL, Maverick, Roehl, USA, FFE, CRS, Boyd, TransAm, CRST,etc., but I didn't see the point. Yes they had a bad training program and many issues. The company has since changed to...

    Today's New Truck Drivers and Their Training

    I was just lumping the list together, JB has better pay but no training program. Werner has a requirement for 275 hours minimum which gives plenty of behind the wheel time for a trainee as opposed to giving a time of 4 weeks which could be a lot or a little. Werner also has a simulator to train...

    Today's New Truck Drivers and Their Training

    My opinion is based off of more than what happened at their TN school, it is also what happened after the fact and what I am seeing today. As for the CDL mills they are a part of the problem but I am referring to the training programs at the carriers. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    Today's New Truck Drivers and Their Training

    My initial post is that Swift is one of the worst companies which as you stated and I have stated is an opinion. It doesn't mean that all the drivers are the worst in the industry. The opinions on companies vary greatly, JB is run into the ground by a lot of drivers but I don't think they are...

    Today's New Truck Drivers and Their Training

    Just read the articles I posted above, the lack of a road test was part of the reason for the FBI raid and the reason so many drivers had their licenses taken away. This was not happening at every site but it was a big issue that has resulted in a class action suit involving almost 9000 drivers...

    Today's New Truck Drivers and Their Training

    I went to an outside school in 2006 and my tuition was $3500 for 6 weeks of training. I think we are all aware that risk is a fact of life but when you have a company like Swift that passes a driver for the road test when they never took it, that is an issue. These drivers will be everywhere so...
