[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 200648"] [b]Re: "A Clean Truck Is A Happy Truck"[/b] That's the standard all-purpose Teamsters Business Agent defense. It works best when the problem is a "hidden" one, like a shortage in your paycheck, or threatening words from a supervisor where there are no witnesses besides yourself.
