What LOSERS!

Okay, so many know I have been trying to hire some drivers. Get this, for a job that pays $20.an hour + in this crappy economy, I am having a horrible time finding people. HORRIBLE. Get this, most laid-off drivers say they’d rather sit at home on unemployment because they can make like $500+ a week. WHAT A BUNCH OF LAZY SCUMBAGS! Do NOT come to me when your Obama welfare unemployment scam runs out. They can go piss up a rope before I will hire one of these turds.

I swear, it’s crazy. People whine say that the economy is sooo bad, yet it is almost impossible to find qualified drivers because so many won’t work. Now some have crappy driving or work records. Some don’t have enough experience. But really, in many cases it’s just laziness. “Ahm’s is too good to be a workin’ at McDonald’s. Why, ahm an uhleet worker and deserve to be paid UNION SCALE for all ma hard work…” Blah-blah-blah. Thanks Barry, you slug. You and all your corrupt cronies. Now you’re ruined the American work ethic too. Great, now we have a whole crop of former East Germans.

Another Reason

Everyone here thinks they’re entitled–that they “Deserve” to get to sit on their ass and have everyone else pay for them >:-o This is the same sickness where these ding-dongs all think their children are “gifted” or “special” yeah, special as in “special ed.” Hey dork, your kid is the same as everyone else’s : Picking their boogers and eating paste. No, your spawn is NOT a future Nobel winner or a genius. Your kids, like most will be working at the Quickie Mart and probably have a kid out of wedlock.

Back to losers

Many of these losers were told all their life that they’re “special.” They’re not. They’re LOSERS. And they’re bringing this country down. Thanks scumbags.

Wow, I watched “Sicko” while in Columbus (it was free, I wasn’t going to waste $$ on Michael”I-hate-America” Moore). Ya know, IF he hadn’t spent so much time attacking George Bush and the Republicans, I’d have agreed more with him a LOT MORE. Much of what he said was right, but he had to be his typical asshole, left-wing, I-hate-America, self and ruin his message by attacking the right. Hell, the left is just as much, or more, to blame for the current shitty state of our health care system.

And YES dillhole, I DO know that he didn’t present some of it, that Moore’s view is one-sided and biased towards the socialist agenda of the left. I know that there are problems to many of these countries health systems, but ours is friggin’ BROKE! Wish we could just talk about it… not scream at each other, but talk.

Anyway, I think the movie IS worth watching. Although I wouldn’t go out and buy it.

So, I had a bunch of stuff planned this weekend. Part of this planning and need to do stuff was due to my check being delayed a little bit. Had it scheduled, but then, then it got worse. I had a driver give notice… it happens, I’m happy for him as he’s going back to his old job from a couple of years ago where he made good money, had weekends off and had benefits! 🙂 However, this left me (already about half a driver short) w/ needing a driver NOW! I had a back up though, ready to go, a guy I used to haul Mail w/ and someone already approved by the power-that-be. Alas, when I went to hire him, one of the office guys said “Oh, he had 2 tickets” Yeah, FIVE years ago… “Let’s let the insurance consultant look at it.” “Nope, could be a liability” and that was it. >:-o Lawyers and insurance companies are already destroying this nation, even worse than our “messiah” Barry Mugabe/Sotero/Obama…

Cool huh?! tickets from FIVE years ago plus — and I have seen it from things 9 years in the past keep someone from getting a job. “Wait, you’re saying… they can’t tell about you.” “Au contraire mon frere…” (excuse what is probably BAD French) they can, as there is a system called the “DAC Report” that is like a credit report for truck drivers and in which, former employers can post info about you, why you left, etc. AND it will show tickets from WAY past when the DMV removes it from your license.  Yes, I think it’s probably unconstitutional too, but they get away w/ it. Didn’t you ever really wonder why our country is in such bad shape? Why people are out of work and can’t get a job, yet many industries are crying for help… guess what, it is mainly due to two industries that our Nation is being brought to its knees… The insurance industry and trial attorneys are responsible for this; both industries should be taxed at 97% of profits and made to show transparency in their book keeping.

Why Stress is here

Anyway, we are bringing back one of our drivers who was on layoff — been working here on and off for almost 5 YEARS, but… his drug test results won’t be back until too late. Anyway, I had told one of my other drivers who runs this particular run I need his help. As we were talking, I heard his wife in the background saying “That ain’t gonna happen.” But he said he could probably do it. Of course, he tells me today he can’t. Nice, I wonder if she has a job to support them all??? IF I have to run it, blowing off all the plans and things I really need to do AND losing a day, there will be problems AND I have to work on Monday, one of my normal days off–the thrid one in a row. Hell, I even offered this guy Christmas or Thanksgiving off (yes Kinder, we work those…)… answer was “no. can’t.”  I asked him what she was going to say about him working the holidays and got silence. And he will be. Even if he stays here, his rotating schedule will have him working (I looked, I didn’t make it that way) Labor Day and Thanksgiving (we get the day AFTER the holiday off), so he will work the holiday, then layover in NJ for a day after. Monday holidays like Labor Day are especially egregious, as not only do they lay over their “normal” Monday layover, but the day after that… TWO days laying over in the truck. Anyway, I am sure he’ll quit or something soon.

More people to hire

Not that there are many out there. There is already a driver shortage, and that is about to be much worse too… w/ the new CSA 2010 program started by the  DOT and de Gubment, a HUGE amount of drivers (like 160,000+) will be losing their jobs… Just peachy. I am most discouraged and my chest hurts in that weird hollow way I have come to take notice of. I am sure that that will be cause for ME to lose my CDL and be unemployed. I think that’s what Barry wants.

Our Idiot Leaders at Work

I was also reading today about the movement afoot to redo the hours of service for truck drivers. Oh joy, EVERY time these MORONS mess w/ it, it gets worse. In 2003, they first changed them… Before this, you could only drive 10 hours a day and had to be off 8. So, if you got off work, you might (and I did for a long time w/ Matheson) have to be back at work 8 hours later. Oh JOY, I get off work, fuel the truck, get my shit, drive home (1-2 hours), try to eat and wind down. Take a “Clinton” go to bed. Hey, 3-4 hours sleep, get up, take shower, read e-mails. Drive to work. Then get truck, go to P.O. and get load. Drive to Delano (from Sacto) 4 hours. Layover in motel for 4 hours, then back. Repeat. Of course, under the old rules, you could “push” your hours of service (HOS) by going off duty. Worked real well for team drivers who drove 5 on and 5 off.

Anyway, after the change, we got 11 hours driving and 10 hours off 🙂 That helped. But… once you logged in, 14 hours later, you HAD to be done driving — not done working mind you, they could keep working you, you just couldn’t drive a commercial vehicle. Also, to reset your clock, you had to have 34 hours off duty as you can only work like 70 hours in 8 days. I forget, it gets SO confusing and dumb. Rules written by dumbasses who know NOTHING about the industry. By politicians whose opinions and knowledge are about as important and pertinent as a fart in a hurricane… Also, for teams, get this, now, instead of only having to drive 5 hours before rest, you HAD to now drive 10 hours… ack, my back screams at that. Neato huh?!?

So now, these dumb shits (including safety group shitheads, political appointees like our dumbass Sec. of Transportation Ray LaHood, etc.) want to go BACK to 10 hours driving and a 48 hour restart. I read that you will be able to “push” your HOS again though. Hey joy, more drivers w/ less time at home. And these idiots wonder why there are truck accidents–due to THEM. And I should mention…

Most accidents involving big trucks are caused by 4-wheelers (trucking term for an auto or pick up, etc.) — they are! If you ever rode in a truck you would be shocked at just HOW BAD most people are. Crazy. Stupid things. And think on this, if you own an RV, you don’t need a special test… hey, down the road you go… Next time you see a truck in an accident, don’t just assume it was his fault, because, chances are, it wasn’t.

I need to be done ranting now, my chest hurts, and I need to go try and relax. Ears ringing and all. Not good. G’nite for now… maybe I’ll write more later.

I found some good quotes earlier. Enough that I thought I’d post them. I notice no one is commenting, which means there must be something on TV…

Winston Churchill, a great AMERICAN Citizen!

Winston Churchill, a great AMERICAN Citizen!

“You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.”

~Winston Churchill


“To sit home, read one’s favorite paper, and scoff at the misdeeds of the men who do things is easy, but it is markedly ineffective. It is what evil men count upon the good men’s doing.”

~Theodore Roosevelt

“When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”

~Thomas Jefferson

“It isn’t that Liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”

~Ronald Reagan

“How do you tell a Communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”

~Ronald Reagan

Ronald Reagan, the GREATEST President in our lifetime.

(BTW, before some dumbass whines at me, Winston Churchill was made an American Citizen after WWII, although he was also that by birth, his mother being an American)

I can remember a couple of years ago, the left was putting out all kinds of anti-Bush bumper stickers, t-shirts, etc. “A Village in Texas is missing its idiot.” or “Shrub!” or 11-2-2008! Now, that we have the Messiah as President, you see t-shirts against him.. but now it’s “inappropriate” or “racist” or “un-American.” Riigggghhhhttttt…

Or making fun of the Messiah with photos such as this here to the right.

Hey, it was okay to make fun of G.W. Bush, isn’t it also okay to use my freedom of speech rights to lampoon our current “leader.”

I can think of tons of art and photos that the left and neo-Bolsheviks made and posted everywhere making fun of Bush. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, right?

Most of the drivers blame me. My wife blames me (or those above me). It’s kind of strange actually and after awhile you just say “screw it” yeah, it’s MY fault. Okay, sure. And everyone wonders WHY I prefer the company of dogs.

This one is soooo true. Most of them anyway. Surely my dogs have more honor and common-sense.

And we all KNOW this is true. No, we don’t care you have an honor student, and my dog really IS smarter than most of them.

Hell, I always wanted one like this here, I need to have some made up:

And here is one we can ALL get behind! Truth on the Internet by Gawd!!

Another truism. I know, I come off like a right-wing zealot, though I am not. I just detest our current government and wish we had a good president again. I look at the candidates for next time and really, there is NO ONE decent. That’s f-ed up! The Democrats have their usual crop of Socialists, but the Republicans… I dunno, Sarah Palin is okay, but still, tends to let herself get tripped up. McCain? Oh HELL never again. Mitt Romney? I don’t trust that guy… dunno why, I just don’t. I thought  Rudy Giuliani would have been strong, but he screwed the pooch by not campaigning in the South and gave it to McCain, who was and IS NOT Presidential material 🙁 Michael Bloomberg? Oh FUCK NO! He’s a damned socialist and anti-gun, yeah, that’s JUST what we friggin’ need. Joe Lieberman is interesting, but my friend Sara HATES him.

Ronald Reagan, the greatest president of the 20th Century and beyond.

Ronald Reagan, the greatest president of the 20th Century and beyond.

Then we have the Ron Paulites… I dunno, something sets off the ole warning klaxon there. Mike Huckabee might work, I dunno either. Still, there is NO ONE who has what the United States really, REALLY needs… RONALD REAGAN, the GREATEST President in my lifetime! Man, I wish we had someone like Reagan again. A man who stood by his convictions, that was FOR America and not every other third world country that hates us (like our current jack-ass “president”). We need someone like Reagan, someone to make America great again, to stop all the governmental give-aways, waste and out right destruction of our way of life. Will we get it? I don’t know, I worry a lot. My friend Red is a Libertarian, which I used to be, however, as much as I like what they say, they don’t stand much chance of getting elected.

And this billboard just is SO cool!!!! I have a bunch of bumper stickers I will post too… important and good stuff.

Yeah, I have a lot of Reagan stuff here today… I was looking for something and found tons of it. Really, he WAS the last good President. Before him, we’d had scumbags and incompetents for years—after him, had Bush I, a really BAD President. Bush I was the one who truly let the floodgates of gun control open. The NRA should have booted his ass… I wrote them that and the guy in charge then sent me a letter saying they couldn’t. Idiots! After “Pinocchio,” as I called him, we had Clinton, who in retrospect was not nearly as bad as what we have now 🙁 His wife sucked though.

Bush II, whilst not perfect, was WAAAAAY better than the two Presidents before him and I think did a decent job. Gods, where would we have been on 9-11 if Gore had been elected :-0 Or if it had happened under Clinton and holy sheep shit Margaret, imagine if it had happened under Obama… he’d have been blaming Bush and bowing to the Islamic world. Yeah. We need someone of Reagan’s stature again. I won’t even go into the corrupt SCUMBAGS running Congress. We truly DO need to clean house this fall and in every election after until ALL incumbents are gone. You work for us, assholes!
