solo318 Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Maybe if someone offered him some Dr Pepper he might come around? Quote Click For Full-Size Image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big5er Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 Did I hear someone say "Dr. Pepper"? Hi yall, I'm still around....just not here a lot. After I retired I had a trucking company call and ask me to come do their driver training and DOT compliance work. They made me a sweet deal, too sweet to pass up, so I went back to work....for a while. I'm traveling a little for work, some in my rig, some in those pet friendly hotels. Its nice working for someone that takes care of their employees for a change...and I'm dealing with a lot fewer idiots.

rpsinc Posted June 9, 2020 Report Share Posted June 9, 2020 4 hours ago, GlennWest said: a company that appreciate you is rare item these days I work in an industry where pricing is by piece or unit. As I am now in my 60s, I dont get the same shot at the work as younger crews, as this is a grind and faster makes more profit, BUT, when something goes wrong or they dont know how to fix or apply a solution, who do they call. The 60something. Reminds me of the man who fixed the engine on the ship, his bill showed: Tapping with a hammer- $2 Knowing where to tap- $9,998 Quote Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
