people don't need a job regardless how much it pays anymoreEarlier tonight I heard an ad on a NY AM news radio station for workers for ABF in Avenel, NJ. First time I heard anything like that.
There is a good union job (not in trucking) in my town...old company, good pay and benefits (as a matter of fact I have considered it)... local radio ads.....never heard them have to do that either....Earlier tonight I heard an ad on a NY AM news radio station for workers for ABF in Avenel, NJ. First time I heard anything like that.
I don't get it, I really don't. There are help wanted signs everywhere these days. And the roads are jammed all day long with people driving around. Who works anymore?people don't need a job regardless how much it pays anymore

Hey Tri, I know this is the wrong thread but on your recent trip down memory lane, was Rut's hut closed on Sundays now? I never miss it whenever I get back to Norh Jersey. Pay your respects and hit the hut!I don't get it, I really don't. There are help wanted signs everywhere these days. And the roads are jammed all day long with people driving around. Who works anymore?
I haven't been there in a few weeks FC but I'll get there soon and check on that.Hey Tri, I know this is the wrong thread but on your recent trip down memory lane, was Rut's hut closed on Sundays now? I never miss it whenever I get back to Norh Jersey. Pay your respects and hit the hut!
You need to start your work day before a certain driver with a bag on his head driving 46 mph does. If your out in front of him, the roads are wide open. If you get started after him, the workday can be a long Bastard!!! LOL!!!buddy I run I-81 for 350 miles every work day and the roads are jam packed from the start of my day until the end
I find that hard to believe.buddy I run I-81 for 350 miles every work day and the roads are jam packed from the start of my day until the end
They sell bumper stickers now at all the plazas along 294 that say, Outta my way, you Bastard. Not sure what thats all about?You need to start your work day before a certain driver with a bag on his head driving 46 mph does. If your out in front of him, the roads are wide open.

Keep giving away free money, besides who else is going to flip us off, swerve at us & the occasional brake check....I don't get it, I really don't. There are help wanted signs everywhere these days. And the roads are jammed all day long with people driving around. Who works anymore?
I was up hydro (Mountain Top) last week the shipper told me that the employees were complaining that when they went into the bathroom they were getting a contact high. They informed the supervisor & he told them to take it up with HR so they did. The answer they got from HR was they have medical marijuana cards, this is where were at. When did you ever think you would hear a answer like that....I think it's just hard to hire people in the area. First, marijuana is legal in NJ and not prosecuted in NY. Then you have the hiring standards. It's almost impossible to not have more than 3 moving violations in that area. In the era of quotas, police write you up for everything.
The main reason I think is, this generation of people do not want to drive a truck no matter what the pay is or how good benefits are. Everybody today wants to work behind a computer in their own home. Physical work is a no no for them. I grew up in the Woodstock era and never had a moving violation in the 48 years I drove in the NY/NJ area. Times have changed and people have changed more.I think it's just hard to hire people in the area. First, marijuana is legal in NJ and not prosecuted in NY. Then you have the hiring standards.

FC, I went there today (Sunday) for 3 rippers and "beer 1" as they say. They're open 8am to 8pm every day. Then I went to Applegate Farm for one of their homemade ice cream pistachio cones. Life is good!Hey Tri, I know this is the wrong thread but on your recent trip down memory lane, was Rut's hut closed on Sundays now? I never miss it whenever I get back to Norh Jersey.

Wave an adequate paycheck in front of them and we'll see. We'll never know if we don't try.The main reason I think is, this generation of people do not want to drive a truck no matter what the pay is or how good benefits are.
