I am just wondering....has anyone seen the BIG PICTURE that management are always talking about ? :
I tell you what Skeeter,what happen to trucking?
I can remember back in the days when I started.
Now thats a good memory seeing I started driving truck for a living in 1963.
It was a hard career to have.
But back in the day truckers watched out for one another union,and non-union city drivers helped one another when help was needed,unloading,or not holding up a loading dock.
I don't know when that all changed?
It must of been a slow procees.
Drivers I knew were all adults.
Now I'm working with a bunch of childern.
I can be a whinner myself,but its short lived.
I just get a grip,and get on with life.
My co-workers on the other hand are always crying about something,and as far as anyone helping anyone out well thats a big joke,those days are long gone,now its everyone for themselves.
Oh yeah your right now I'm starting to whine about this issue.
I guess I'm saying truckdrivers aren't the way they used to be back in the old days.
Can I get a big 10/4 on that?
The "Big Picture" is usally dispalyed where no one can see it except certain individuals.
I, for one, have never seen it.
It is however rumored to be pasted under the middle drawer of the manager's desk.
So, its safe to say it has been viewed by some, but not all.
I've seen that picture before, it's a bunch of monkeys with a football.

We on the other hand up here leave our feelings at the door. Not too warm and fuzzy. Most of our good drivers have to pick up the slack for the flunkies. And when you can't take care of their mess, management comes down on you and not the slacker. The illusionary "Big Picture" has not shown it's leaderships head as of yet up in this neck of the woods. New colors, new name, but same old, same old!!The route that I run day after day in the city, we still have some good drivers left. All of the drivers would do whatever to help another. But I can say.....most of us are good ol' country people just lookin out for everyone.

Im not sure if we are on the same page, But the other day I saw the big picture when I was at best buy. This huge plazma tv. I wanted it because I have not been able to see the big picture. I told the sales man that I did not have any money on me to hold the tv. He said you dont have anything? I looked in my wallet again. Thats when I pulled out the $15.00 turkey coupon. I asked will this hold it for me? And he said, You don't and won't ever see the big picture.
