Not to attempt to speak for site admin, but "cool*e" is a racial slur, not that dissimilar to other off-color, racial words used to describe people of a different race, color, or creed.
And that is correct.

The whole catchphrase thing got way, way out of hand. Over the past couple weeks, I've fielded several complaints on individual posters as well a several on the derogatory nature of the word.

It got way old, so it was removed. I don't mind seeing stuff like that occasionally, because I understand what the motivation is behind it and everyone is entitled to their opinion. But when you've got half a dozen or more different posters using the same word in every other sentence they write, knowing that it is insulting to 90% of the posters here, it goes way beyond over the line.

My advice would be to knock it off. No one got banned over it, because we're not trying to silence posters. So just let it go. If it remains an issue, then we'll do what has to be done to maintain the board.

Thanks.

HEY MACKMAN:
Got one right up your alley for you.

A.DUIE PYLE

They are looking for BOTH linehaul and local P&D drivers in West Chester. Got a friend who works for the truck load divsion and he said that they are swamped now that Jevic is gone. From what he said, local and linehaul is very good pay and benifits. Linehaul is night but local P&D drivers work days.

Also, those other compnaies, don't try the websites, apply in person. Most of them are in Swedesboro and Bridgeport, NJ(DD, USF), Sysco and Novick are down in the produce district in Philly off of Packer Ave.

Thanks doulbe RR. I might look into Duie Pyle.

My dad is tryin hard to get me a job at the quarry he hauls out of. They are union and have the best benefits you can get. They are hiring 2 people to drive a rock truck. Not sure what it pays but my dad says every job in the place pays atlest 20+/hr. OT after 8/hrs.

It is real hard getting a job there. No one ever leaves. So i am thinking about if i can handle driving a big ass quarry dump truck. Around the quarry all day long or not.

Is this THE MACKMAN saying that? No way would the real Mackman wonder if there was a truck that he couldn't handle.

Has to be an imposter! 8) :wink:

LOL well i should re-word it. I dont know if i can handle driving up and down the ramps going to the bottom of the hole getting loaded and taking it to the top. I think that type of thing will get old fast. I might get bored out of my mind. As far as driving a truck. I CAN DRIVE ANYTHING WITH WHEELS AND A MOTOR.

Mack- Is there any other dump truck companies in your area that you can get on with that are busier than your current company. I say stay with the dump truck job,that seemed to be a pretty good niche for ya but do what ya gotta do man.

Mackman, what did you decide to do? Just curious if you went for the job at the quarry or if things are picking up at the company you have been with.

I have a Job interview at the quarry 2morrow. I really hope i can get this job. Lots of OT and it is union. Things have been picking up i even stop looking for a new job.

I told my boss/owner i needed to take a 1/2 day 2morrow. He asked me why and i told him the turth. I thought he was going to cry. He was upset. But he wished me the best of luck and made sure i would have off to go.
