Another job you put out of buisness !I worked 10 really good years at Ryder Then Ryder/ PIE then PIE Nationwide and then Triplex made the list and I had to leave and work for Roadway. Then little did I know Triplex worked at Yellow and I had to quickly retire because I know what's coming!
.Now, because of Triplex putting all of these companies out of buisness all I can drive now are my Winross toy trucks!
I like the last one your list " Yellow" , it will happen ,just a matter of time till the sheep stand up & grow a set and vote No
This company I have been with the last 13 years, everything has been kind of blurred? You know?
Did you get fired a lot????
Hey Trip, you ever run out west on I-40 during the 70's & 80's ?Never. Just couldn't make up my mind where I wanted to work (or what I wanted to be) when I grew up.
A condition I still suffer with unfortunately!

Wow, I was still a pup with one year of seniority working the dock in OKC .
Not being able to find your truck in the yard doesn't count, Trip.Never. Just couldn't make up my mind where I wanted to work (or what I wanted to be) when I grew up.

With Junior Jack-Ass?Wow, I was still a pup with one year of seniority working the dock in OKC .
I have had the honor to know and work with Triplex for many years. I know that I am not a broken down Teamster dinosaur yet. I put in 391/2 years in the Teamsters and I thank God everyday that He kept me safe while working and keeps me in good health to this day. You ask why does Triplex still keeps driving? I think he is just a guy who really enjoys what he is doing, just like I did. We had a lot of fun and good times working for a lot of years. I only retired early because it made financial sense for me when this YRC fiasco took place. So what I'm trying to say is some of us "old timers" I'm pretty young yet, actually enjoyed and had a good time on the street everyday and I would not change a thing about those 391/2 years I put in. I am proud to call myself a retired teamster who worked when men knew what it meant to be a "TEAMSTER."Not being able to find your truck in the yard doesn't count, Trip.
Joking aside, that's a LONG list! Is your left knee still original? You've covered a lot of miles and driven trucks they only drag out for show and shine these days.
Perhaps the most important question is what possesses you to keep driving? Most people would've retired a long time ago.
Wasn't that the year you "retired" from PIE?
Well spoken sir. I have tons of respect for you older guys and you have every right to be proud.I have had the honor to know and work with Triplex for many years.
