[Rebels1972] knights of the highway

Fred,

No one has to agree to accept company paid training.  You can just finance
it your self or pay for it when you leave.  Put it on a no-interest credit
card and pay for it over a year.  Five thousand dollars will not enslave
anyone.  Gee, that's less than a couple months pay for the below-average
trucker.  Just about anyone could pay that off in a year if they scrimped
and saved a little.  By law, a trucking company would have to give an
employee the right to pay that training off.  It sounds to me like the
trucking companies did the truckers a favor by offering to pay for their
training.  Some people don't have the resources to come up with the money
for training.  However, that is not enslavement, that is a courtesy.

Tony

Susan, 

    It's not the same thing.  He has a chance to move up, they don't get him
into debt with them to get the training to do the job they want him to do.  

    I'll be that Russell quit now, he wouldn't have to pay them for his
training.  

    Regards, 

Fred

Hey Fred,

Doesn't the college hold you in economic slavery?  I know that Goodyear
holds Russell in slavery and thank God for it. We can eat, pay our bills and
live a nice life.

Susan, 

    P. S..  You notice that a safe driver *is* off the road now because of
the economics of the situation (me).

Yea you could but save your breath....  I think you're such a safe trucker
that you need to resign from that teaching position and resume driving. We
need safe drivers.  Sounds like you loved it and what an advocate you would
be!!!

Well, Susan, 

    I say stay away from them because what if some other motorist (of the
four wheel type, for example) turns in front of him and he needs to swing
left or right to keep from wiping that person out (once, two pickup trucks
turned diagonally and less than thirty feet in front of me at the exit on an
Interstate in New Jersey.  I didn't miss hitting them by much).  They were
flooring it.  

    We could talk about the four wheel type of driver, too.  And I could say
some things there.  

    Regards, 

Fred

I'm in total agreement with you Coop. I try to stay out of their way but
most of the time I can't. They won't let you-----in a hurry to stock those
grocery shelves you know!!

Im Sorry Guys, Just had to vent a little bit. Just remember,  The Truckers
are the biggest bullys on the playground ! Do not let road rage get you into
trouble.Stay out of their way as much as you can. Save your obscene gestures
for someone with a ( handicap ) sticker ! Just kidding. A little.

Dale... I'm so sorry you lost your cousin due to the reckless actions of a
trucker. I have officiated many funerals over the last 25 years of my
ministry now.  The lost of a loved one is very hard.  You never get totally
over that.  I mourn with you as I have many others.... again, I'm so sorry
man.  John Dale
