    Truck Stop Restaurants

    Re: Forget I bothered I don't think I did that. My original assessment, and recommendations, stands. The only thing worse than working for tips in a truckstop restaurant is working for tips at a Bonanza, Ponderosa or Ryan's. If you want to make good money in tips work at a restaurant or night...

    happy july.

    There's a reason why they don't put the big lettering on until after 90 days. :D

    Re: Forget I bothered For most people, hard work is defined as a great deal of effort or endurance. As in... it takes hard work to be successful in business. Something is hard when it is difficult to do or accomplish, be it fatiguing or troublesome, with respect to an action, situation or...

    Is the IRS a corrupt federal agency?

    There are, of course, some people so loyal to Obama that they could very well be acting on their own in ways they believe Obama will benefit, or approve, and do so completely without his knowledge. The more arrogant you are the easier it is to do that, because you believe you are doing the right...

    Cargo Van Dodge ProMaster

    The Promaster I drove, twice, had a much smoother ride than my 05 Sprinter, as well. Then again, every brand new vehicle will generally drive better and have a smoother ride than an old one. Why do you think they want to get you behind the wheel for a test drive? It's the number one sales tool ever.

    Is the IRS a corrupt federal agency?

    The "perfect" e-mail is what's gonna do her in. It proves intent and effort to hide information from Congressional oversight.

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    Besides, people who don't speaks English will still pick up enough to get by, at least from the point of view of understanding it, even if they don't speak it fluently. A few months ago I spent 3 weeks on the Mexican border shuffling back and forth between border towns. Near the end I was waited...

    Truck Stop Restaurants

    Re: Forget I bothered It may not be hard physical labor, but it's hard work nonetheless. By far, the hardest job in a restaurant is being a server. Anybody can smile and bring food, but it's not easy to make everyone feel welcome and enjoy the dining experience, and at the same time be the face...

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    "He also references 2009." Yes he does. I think it's hilarious and that he, and a really, really lot of others reference 2009, using the same.exact.wording. It's almost as if they read it somewhere and that's as far as their investigative research went. "In 2009 the agency issued a...

    Depending on the restaurant, and of course the server, a server can make $200-$400 a day in tips.

    Cargo Van Dodge ProMaster

    My door jam (under the seat jam, actually, which is quite tasty) doesn't comment at all about how much I can carry. It tells me the GVWR of the vehicle, the tire size, and the recommended tire pressures. That's it. I have to go to a CAT scale, get weighed, do the math, then I'll know what I...

    Michigan, your state is next, for starters.

    What makes me so mad is that the overwhelming majority of Americans want the border secured and a grip on illegal immigration, yet no one inside the Beltway wants it.

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    Which is why one has to wonder if the claims made by the fired employees are true. If English was a requirement for the jobs they were being hired for, they'd have never been hired in the first place. The fact they were hired and later fired indicates something other than language was the cause...

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    Yes, it is a total joke. And as strong as the desire is for some to blame it all on Obama, this goes directly back the advent of multiculturalism. Before that, immigrants made a concerted effort to learn the language and the customs. Most took great pride in the accomplishment. Not anymore. Now...

    Vehicle Question / Which Carrier

    Paying someone to do your accounts receivable collections, and to grovel with slow-paying and non-paying customers for you, is hardly being on the dole. There is no employee mentality in that whatsoever.

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    It depends on why they were actually fired. Not on the claims made by those who were fired, but the real, actual reason they were fired. It's highly unlikely that someone who can't speak English would be hired in speaking English were a requirement, just like someone isn't likely to be hired if...

    Does Your Dispatcher Speak English?

    Everything is debatable. But if you read the law, it's not all that debatable, and plenty of judges, liberal and conservative alike, have agreed. Yes, I'm sure many would. It appears that way because you are getting your facts from a biased source with an agenda you agree with, and have made no...
