    AIG and the Bonus

    Yeah, I'm getting a big kick out of some of these senators and congressmen trying to out-outrage each other. It's the zenith of fake outrage and hypocrisy, since they all knew about it before it happened.

    "Deffinatly not a cool thing to be cut and pasting others work. You led us to believe those were your words , placed into text form." Why would you believe that? Someone asked how I really felt, I had recently read that article, and it nearly perfectly echoed my own feelings, so it was...

    To the person I talked with on the phone the other day: I may have been right, he is trying to get permanently banned. :D He's not runnin', so he don't care.

    AIG and the Bonus

    One of the problems is the terminology. In the financial world, the term "bonus" is not used in the same way that it is in most other industries. You don't get your regular pay and then at the end of the year if the company did well, or you did a particularly good job, you get a bonus. The...

    Maybe the system isn't picking up your Caller ID? On the 800 number, as well as the other one one the Bill and the one I sent you, it picks mine up, so that if I'm not loaded I go directly to Driver Relations. If I'm loaded on a regular load, I go to regular Dispatch, and if I'm on an Elite...

    there's more to the story

    You just got through saying, "Well just because they can get through to someone on the weekends doesn't mean everybody can! Lord knows I have tried on several occasions." But, never mind. If that ever happens again, ask for their supervisor, because they can transfer you to Driver Relations...

    Answered in a PM. :) But the main 800 number or the Dispatch numbers on the PRO Bill have always gotten me to Driver Relations whenever I'm not loaded, even when I wanted to talk to Dispatch, actually.

    there's more to the story

    I will absolutely take someone at their word, if it makes sense. You just stated above that you were unable to get through to anyone on the weekends. Really? The phone just rang and rang and rang and no one at Panther would answer it? That sounds odd, doesn't make sense, especially in light of...

    The rest of the story would be when, exactly, were you tagged with all of these refusals. If the refusals occurred days or weeks earlier, then that's something that your Team Leader or another Driver Relations supervisor will have to look into, and probably can't be corrected on the spot...

    Truck wash FYI

    I'm in a Sprinter, not a truck, so it's a little different. Not as much to wash and it's usually done by the time I pay. hehe But whenever I drive out of the wash, I always stop a few feet outside the exit and wipe the windows with paper towel. No matter who washes it, these windows will spot...

    How do I really feel? I feel there's nothing quite like the fear of change, and the fear of the unknown. Fear of failure and fear of success are two common aspects of the fear of change, both reflecting similar negative beliefs of low self-worth and self-doubt. When strong self-worth is...

    Truck wash FYI

    A pure Americanism from the early to mid 1800's, Cater, from old French catre, meaning a diagonal across the four, from the Latin quattour. Variations include cater-cornered, cata-cornered, catty-cornered, and probably from natural phonetics of the misspellings, and the one that is probably most...

    Worse thing you can do here, and a lot of people do it, is to place more emphasis on who wrote it, rather than on what was written. When you reply to who wrote it, rather than to what was written, it becomes personal, and it becomes too easy to interject things from outside the thread, like...
