That's not the underlying issue. You blew him up. Great. This thread is only a way for others to urinate on the remains. It is no less disrespectful than the very thing you banned him for.
Well, Rev;

To corrupt an old song The Late, Great, Bing Crosby used to sing:


"Everybody's Gott'a "Pee" Somewhere"!!

Seriously, LeBron was a worthless pain in the ass who contributed nothing of any value to the board. To dislike OTR is one thing; to demean drivers who run OTR, including the new ones who are still "paying their dues" is quite another. The other thing is that for LeBron, OTR was not even an option. He'd been hit with a Truck Abandonment on his DAC, so he couldn't have driven OTR even if he wanted to.

I'm glad he's gone.

Is this just cheap, tacky, "driver's gossip" going on here that makes all of us (including me!!) who are trashing LeBron look rather petty and lame??

YES!!


I Love It!! 8) ops:

Rev,
Whats that saying about hindsight? Of course Rev, you have the benefit of seeing my mistake after I made it...and I did apologize for it.

I seriously doubt Ridge. Twilight or Scoe would have done what I did. I admit to needing to learn, and if you have a training manual on forum moderating, please send me a copy.

If you want to discuss poor form, I'm sure I and many other members can point out one hell of a lot of your guilt in that area as well.

As for eating, sleeping, showering, name me ONE company(other then Wal-mart Transportation) that pays thier drivers to do that.
With being paid by the mile or % how are they gonna compensate their drivers for job that only takes 15-30 minutes to do? Why do you need to get paid to eat, sleep, and shower? So your saying a diesel mechanic should get paid to eat, sleep in his own bed, and take a shower when he gets sweaty? :roll: I call it greediness!

You can come here and say whatever you want. I'm just saying that no one should listen to your drivel because you have ZERO industry experience.

If you had made a thread announcing the banning, then yes. To be honest, and I believe I stated this already, I don't really care who was banned. But starting a thread afterwards to announce their banning, even if it was an "apology" thread because the person was wiped clean from the site, was poor form. It was quite clear that the thread would either go one of two ways:

1. It would turn into a thread of everyone patting the mod on the back and cutting down someone who isn't here anymore, or

2. It would turn into a thread which would criticize the mod for banning the poster.

It would appear that it became a little of both, and in either case it was unnecessary. I didn't really know CFM, or pay that much attention to him, so my comments are completely detached.


And FYI, Mack2: I made the comment regarding the "new sheriff in town". I also find it odd that, as someone who was banned once, you are commenting so much on this.
Yes I Rev. I have been banned before but I've grown up alot since that deal you can probbaly ask any one of these Mods here and they would say the same thing.

I was just trying to share some advice with Colts Fan in the fact the more you argue with a mod the more of an asshole you look like.

Actually I do have experience in this industry! I worked at a flatbed carrier working in the shop patching up their tarps and various stuff around the yard, I worked at a tanker outfit cause they were closer which is why I left the flatbed carrier and I washed their trucks and trailers then the work slowed down and got laid off. Then I went to work for a bulk tanker outfit inspecting rail cars and taking samples and I got laid off after a week cause they said it was too dangerous. :roll: Now I got something lined up to where I'll be working in the shop working on trucks and maybe driving. So to say I don't any industry experience is a damn lie. I suggest before you start making false accusations you find out what experience they really have! As far the name calling I was referring to what you said to Mack2 about him mentally handicapped.

Washing trucks and patching tarps is not industry experience. Sorry tiger.

Why in the hell is it not?? I interacted with shop managers, parts runner, mechanics, and drivers EVERYDAY! Also the tanker company let me move their trucks in and out of the wash bay, so that counts for something! It's called a learning experience. We all got to start somewhere and sometime along the way you forgot where the hell you started from!

Call a recruiter and tell him about your extensive tarp patching experience and moving trucks in and out of the wash bay. Mention to them the fact that you do not possess a CDL. I'll bet they roll out the red carpet for you! :lol:
