I don't know much about the dock workers. I hear the pay is good. They have decent forklifts. I got on once to see how much I weighed. They don't have much freight to haul right now. I couldn't imagine what term. is hiring forklifters.

Estes opened up a new terminal in New Brighton, Mn and I was thinking about
applying. I remember back when Estes and Lakeville were still partners and we'd get
a few copies of the estonian (sp?) newsletter. EVERYONE in that newsletter looked
so happy. It showed pictures of people on vacation and people cooking (BBQ), base-
ball games, everyone had a smile on their face. Unlike this godawefull place that
I currently work at.

I might head out there on Monday, wish me luck guys!

Now thats funny, as for the guy wondering about a job just dont do LINEHAUL cause it sucks right now, you will be EXTRA BOARD with no life, but hey if you like running around in a day cab and not get home till Sunday or stay out 2 weeks at a time they would love to have you.

:beerchug:
I am with you. I am happy to be pulling anything and to have survived the last round of layoffs. I cannot say about the dock, but driving... I am glad to still be providing for my family. Everything is slow but I thank God for my job, my wife and kids
:horse:

 

[skybelou]
