.When my older brother came back to the US after a few years of flying for the Marines and then flying planes in Africa for a telecomm setting up radio towers in "thue bush" he took a job for a few months flying smaller freight runs for UPS. When he quit that and started developing his own business, he said he could never be a commercial pilot again because

"It's like being a trucker but way harder to jerk off while you're doing it and they get way more upset when they catch people trying to drink away the banality"

Is that true? Do you guys not get as mad when truckers jerk off and get buzzed?

I went HK a few months ago to meet our agent and then took a tour of a factory inland. I learned about what the red envelopes when we moved a few things under a different customs code to save money,.

i think the industry is in upheaval at the moment. driver's are treated like garbage. One the one hand i care about carriers and drivers esp. because that's family. On the other hand, in the 21st century you've got to run a really lean outfit if you're going to make it. Either be union or not. Some shops are half and half and it's a gd disaster.

I was going to say that had to be staged, because Trucks don't belong in the two left lanes, and certainly shouldn't be driving fast enough to overtake any of the cars who are in those lanes. Unless the LKW has polish plates.

for small poo poo dhl is gonna be good but if you want to move an entire container or partial to america you gotta go directly to the shipping company like maersk, cause if you call a mover or bobs logistics company all they do is call the shipper, get a rate and details and slap on 200% for you
Those fuckers sent a package destined for AKL to KLA (which are a long way apart) and they just left it there until I enquired why my overnight parcel had still not arrived after 4 days. Then they redirected it back to me, then they tried again and this time managed to deliver it ... to a business address on a Sunday followed by a public holiday, at which point they let it languish because hey, there was nobody there to accept it.

Cute Jen 96, what punishment do they deserve for their inability to correctly type routing codes for mail?

I got stuck behind a truck in the left lane just earlier today. Just because they're not supposed to do it doesn't mean they don't.

CuteJen pls tell your drivers to stay out of the left two lanes they are not for trucks.
