[QUOTE="brett636, post: 905004, member: 249"] If it weren't for the great pay and benefits I would not be a truck driver right now. I had other aspirations in life, but was presented with a good job opportunity with a solid company which really made sense for what I wanted to accomplish in life. If I found myself working for Fedex I certainly would not be complaining about it because I would have been the one who filed out the job application and accepted the position at whatever pay it happened to be. I would then work hard to better my life by either going into management or finishing up school to move on to a more lucrative career. Do you see a common theme here? I am willing to rely on [b]myself[/b] to better [b]my[/b] life. I wouldn't run to a union or the government to do it for me because that is not what a truly free individual does. Oh give it up, TOS has tried to make the same point, but I believe I have earned where i am today. I worked most of the last decade making peanuts in order to get here, and the only way I am giving it up is because i found a better deal elsewhere, or circumstances beyond my control force me out. I can assure you that I won't go just because a couple of :censored:s are unhappy with my viewpoints. [/QUOTE]
