My god Billy..All he did was said "thought" Mattel was the biggest. Didn't go on cnn proclaiming it was, didn't disagree with what FG said..all he said was "thought".I'm bad guy for disagreeing, but me and FG know how most drivers see things and get confused so easily to start spreading rumors. One thing about OD, if a line driver even thinks something without doing full on research they'll be outside with their peers waiting for bills for the night telling people how they think it is.
It's not XM, it's not FM radios or coffee. It's rumors to one another that keep line drivers awake all night. Because let's face it, there's not much else you do all night than keep it between the lines.
Just like on trucking boards, if a line driver gets corrected by management here they'll be outside loud mouthing what an idiot they are and how they're right. I've got these princesses of trucking figured out and they've brought their attitude on truckingboards also.
It's like the youth these days, can't tell them they're in the wrong or their feelers might get hurt. I remember when truck drivers use to be tough, you can find a few but they'll be too busy working hard in the city.
Your disdain for line drivers might fool most, but I see right thru you. You worked city, went to line, found out you couldn't handle it so you went back to city and lost all your seniority. Now you got punk kids ahead of you on the board and the checks just aren't as big. So you compensate like a school yard bully telling everyone how tough city is and how dumb line drivers are. I do less work and make more in one week then you do in two. Since you only get 3 days of work because they don't want to pay overtime. Your words, not mine. You spin your story to reflect the discussion people are trying to have and ruin every thread with your constant bitching about line drivers, newbies, and anyone who ever worked anywhere else after you came to OD. This place is changing Billy and the old "get off my lawn" guys will be the first ones gone. Better learn to adapt or you'll be back in that Swift tractor just like the good old days.
this is not a line vs city thing...this is a me vs Billy thing. Yes Icon sucks but so does driving in a white out. You ask us to just shut up and do our job... Same goes for you. After all, your the smart one that went back to it!
