I think when you start a company it's tempting for these business owners whom hire from the general population to attempt "social" and "moral" advancement of their faith. Power corrupts.....absolute power corrupts absolutely. After all, they are holding you captive on their truck----same basic principles were used by early Missionaries ----three hots & a cot, but you got to listen to the preaching and convert. there should be an 'opt' out on receiving that daily prayer--- why don't you call in one morning--and ask for 3 a day, in Arabic and foot wash & blanket. See, what they think?

Talked to a fellow today from Kennesaw Trucking (in Ga) who shares the lot with the company I work with. I asked him about his company ...he loved it...I was impressed with what he had to say about Kennesaw Trucking. as I walked away he stopped me and said... 'They are a very religious company'....you will get a prayer on the qualcomm each day weather you want it or not ! What tha !? ....why does some of these people insist on this kind of stuff? What difference does it make in the real world as to some fellows religious pretense ? Its time to stick to the bussiness of trucking... :roll: Let the drivers drive....and let the owners keep thier dellusions to their self.... Amen  ...yes ...i have come down with a rare form of herpes... its bad....and its itchy

Arthritis, lumbago, herpes, Aids, ingrown toenail or any other ailment you have that you can blame on the fact that some trucking companies advertise their religion? Grow up and get a life. If this is the worst you can come up with to bitch about you are doing pretty good. On the same not however many religious people feel it their call of duty to have things from society they feel are wrong to be removed ,and protest vigoursly to have these things removed e it a billboard they feel has immoral suggestive pictures displayed or just a persons Avatar on a message board , But can't fathom the idea of opposition towards them freely displaying their beleifs openly in public... I don't complain about these things ,As tolerance has to start somewhere ,So as long as another persons way of living doesn't hurt mine I justy let them be .
