Sorry for changing the narrative. But I also did work on business machines at budwieser. They had a beer tap in the lunchroom. Must admit I had a couple and was not old enough to drink!
Lol....Okay 20 hardcore Motorcycle members just on that shift. Everyone new they ran numbers and drugs. With the backing of the UAW local.
I always wanted to work at the Strohs brewery on Gratiot in Detroit. Same thing beer in the lunchroom. Nice
I ran expedited freight for small independent fleet owners under larger companies. Half the runs were cash half of em were illegal(hours). I got canned when a leaky truck box, caused 1 out of 20 skids of brake drums to get wet in a full on blizzard that no one else would drive. Whe climbing grades the snow was so thick on the road and the wind was so high that my box pushed sideways 15 degrees behind me. Got fired for a rejected load that no one should have been hauling.
Providing it gets built (I don't want a Johnny Cash truck) I'm willing to go anywhere to pick it up. Ford dealer in Mexico? Road Trip!
The next excuse why you are not getting your truck.
Sounds about right! You die in a storm you shouldn't be out it all good. Get a rejected load due to poor equipment on their end, fired! My brother started his own hauling co after he was told to pick a load up after his last drop. They ordered him to run a new load from south NJ to Boston MA. A 6.5 hr trip and if he wanted to get paid do it in 4 hours. he had 3 hrs left on his book for the day. Company rules not over 55 mph. Home was 2:45 hrs away. He called them from his driveway told them to come get the truck.
Yeah I kept my CDL just incase, but I am way happier and paid almost the same given local cost of living with chopping coconuts for tourists and doing farm and maintenence work.
What's a "Johnny Cash truck"? A custom Peterbilt?
That's still no reason not to defend yourself. Yes, there are always consequences for every action, and you might even die, but at least for me, I'd risk it. It's about being able to sleep with my own conscience at night.
It's from the song, I think it's called "One piece at a time". It's about him building a car with parts he stole form an assembly plant. And they don't all match. Great song.What's a "Johnny Cash truck"? A custom Peterbilt?
Seriously though, I was following some random Johnny Cash stuff a few nights ago, and saw this.
"I didnāt do it, my truck did, and itās dead, so you canāt question it."

"In June 1965, his camper caught fire during a fishing trip with his nephew Damon Fielder in Los Padres National Forest in California, triggering a forest fire that burnt several hundred acres and nearly killed Cash. Cash claimed that the fire was caused by sparks from a defective exhaust system on his camper, but Fielder thinks that Cash started a fire to stay warm and in his drugged condition failed to notice the fire getting out of control.
When the judge asked Cash why he did it, Cash said, āI didnāt do it, my truck did, and itās dead, so you canāt question it.ā The fire destroyed 508 acres (206 ha), burning the foliage off three mountains and driving off forty-nine of the refugeās 53 endangered condors.
Cash was unrepentant and claimed, āI donāt care about your damn yellow buzzards.ā The federal government sued him and was awarded $125,172 ($939,914 in 2016 dollars). Cash eventually settled the case and paid $82,001.He said he was the only person ever sued by the government for starting a forest fire."
