His story is hard to follow but the job he was let go from was a previous non driving job. The way he told the story it seemed like the OTR job. Anyway the LTL job was probably a good job and most of those places dont tolerate lying on apps. I've seen it before.

For THIS job.... he gave the "reason" as being "laid off!" THAT is what the LTL company "caught" as a lie, or mistruth, and THAT is why they had to let him go. Posters (and yes I'm guilty as well) need to read or reread a post to make sure its clear in your mind before making a comment. You're not surprised by that are you? :shock: :lol: But, in your defense..... the sun comes up 3 hours EARLIER here on the East Coast! :wink: I just think it is a shame when a NEW poster comes on here and PRECLUDES his "story" with a PLEA for some real answers and NOT just quick criticism..... and then gets JUST THAT! :shock: :roll: [He wouldn't even HAVE to "prelude" his question, except that he has READ enough of this board to know what to EXPECT!] And often by those who have been here only a short time themselves! :roll: I LOVE this site! But, we ALL have a responsibility here.... expecially if we respond on the NEW DRIVERS FORUM! The poster also said:
never mind...I knew this would be too difficult for truckdrivers to understand.
Granted.... HIS command of English, as it concerns giving clear details, was lacking.... but SOME here showed no better command, as they jumped him without even understanding him! I SWEAR.... if they gave potential truckers an ASVAB test on English comprehension.... SOME on here would NOT BE DRIVING! :roll: Luckily, for MANY on here, there is NO REQUIREMENT to KNOW what you are talking about before you ENGAGE your mouths / keyboards!! :shock: And I can't help but believe that that LACK of comprehension shows itself everyday in your DRIVING! :roll: Man.... I better stop now, BEFORE I get on a RANT!! :lol: :lol:

If you think its bad in this New Drivers forum, you should go to the O/O forum! Its like a freaking kindergarten class over there with all the he said/she said b.s. and bashing going around. Sad thing about it......the moderators kick all the informative members off and side with the trouble makers! I have started to notice a lot of helpful members not posting anymore. Guess they have gone elsewhere? I seldom post if I can't help someone out or offer advice, but this struck a nerve.

Hamboner: Obviously, you haven't posted in a long time, but you've been "monitoring" the site. I always find that interesting. Equally, obvious is the fact that I cannot just sit back and "monitor." It has become very clear to me that there are MANY members who "lurk" these days, and many NEW members who have lurked for along time before speaking out! We should ALL keep this in mind! But, I have to tell you..... you are WRONG about the quality of moderating on this board! And your DIRECT "challenge" or comment about our Mods offended ME!! (OMG, I'm defending the MODS! :lol: ) These guys/gals let ALOT get by before they act! And unlike SOME boards, they do NOT try to "steer" the discussions! They sometimes participate with opinions of their OWN.... and are willing to take the heat for them, if necessary! I MAY have disagreed with them at times, even on their moderating, but it is beyond the pale to ACCUSE them of "siding" with special interest groups or members! :shock: I would no more DEMAND it of you than THEY would.... but I believe you owe them an apology! That is JUST my opinion!! It is ONE thing to make blanket statements blaming BUSH for everything.... but it is another to make such blanket statements about those who actually CARE about us, and are doing their jobs out of concern and support for us! Our mods are the GREATEST!

Twilight, I HOPE you aren't gonna "kick him to the curb" for that! I KNOW you got the right to.... it was pretty offensive for a MOD!
