Put all the snivelling rats behind you and build up your own business - if you dont - then you will quite often be running into the scum you ran into there (young runts with "brains" (I think not)). Go it alone mate - its hard at first - then during......... thats where Im at (its not so bad). Once you are a director of a company (no matter how small a company it is) - runts like that sucker will ................. well you know - they will errrmmmm "do things" for you On the other hand in the smaller picture - I am glad to hear that you have employment to see things right like bills and whot not. F*** em off Edog and start up your own company and never be employed again - its fun - Im there. Mark.

Let the pink chaps go... I'll never show that picture again. Parfive I know just the thought of me in pink chaps has you puking... I started the job I was at 3 years ago and I'm happier there. Right now I'm only making $.75 less an hour than I was at the other place so it isn't so bad. I'll be bumped up even a couple dollars an hour more in 30 days. They have me driving the semi tanker hauling powder cement, which I like better, don't have to deal with the jerk contractors now.. They are even letting me take my vacation on Saturday, without pay of course but it'll be worth it to be riding in the wind and be in some beautiful country..

Sounds like gravey train to me E-dog. No contractors, load doesn't slosh or swing, just pickup point, and vaccum off then get another one. I drove tri-axle dumps for a while. Five loads a day, same pickup points, same drop off, did not even have to get chits signed for every load. Boss left us alone, and even fueled us up every night. I ain't never seen a boss fuel up the trucks. Took me a while to get used to it. I even drove honey wagons for a bit. Scales waved us through, everyone was happy to see us. Most even gave us a good tip. That boss had donuts and coffee for us every morining. Gave us a list of stops and left us alone. When you get sacked, sometimes a person gets real lucky.

E-dog, I forgot to mention, the boss before the golden eagles was a real potato farmer. All asses and elbows, making smoke and going nowhere. He even had a "work hard" fish billy that he had carved WORK HARD on. We were paving. I drove the semi dump, paver, screeder, vibratory roller, and just to keep me from wiping sweat off my brow, I had to jump out of my truck while the paver was pushing it forward. I had to keep the body moving upwards without jamming the load, rake the side ways, keep the paver chute clean, jump back into the rig, move the body up a tad, spray oil on the chute, rake the side ways, measure the thickness of the #2 DOT, move the body up a tad, turn the rig slightly, oil the paver chute, on and on and on and on. He was doing this once too many times. He had smacked several very large temporaries upside the head, and I lost it. He came at me with the "WORK HARD" billy. He swung and I stretched him out. I never wanted to enter his shop another day. I did not even want to get my pay. I showed up, he payed me, then fired me. He even told me he was being easy on me. I agreed with him just to get out of there. He told me after 30 days he might consider hiring me but I would have to accept less pay and work harder. I told him how excited I was and left. Never returning again. Next day I got a job driving with one of the coolest bosses I ever had. He told me I was there to drive, not get dirty. If my truck needed anything, anything at all, he paid me the day and it was done. He never used recaps, always new shoes, had a detail service cleaning the truck every day after shift. Tanks were always full, oil always checked, and every Friday awaiting our pay, he cooked steaks on the grill. I ran five loads a day, 22yds., pickup and dump. I got to drive this fully restored 1955 AutoCar with this daggoned Spicer crazy transmission. You don't meet people like that much these days. The septic guy, always clean trucks. If he had no work, he paid the day, and the next if neccessary. If you needed it, you and he went and got it. Nothing second hand. The driver never dug. I always helped, I got bored just sitting waiting for the diggers to finish. I liked digging, pumping, playing on the backhoe, excavator, dozer, all that stuff. There are good people out there. It just takes time to find them.
