Question:
Did my research. Didnt get ripped off by
the trucking schools. ie: false promises.
but didnt get the job I deserve. I might
have made some nieve mistakes when I was younger,but dam it I still have to make
a living. I was born and raised in this
country, and am sitting in my old beat up van watching mexicans driving new cars
and trucks. If they can work so hard in this country, why cant they work on solving the problems in their country that made them come here and overpopulate our
luandry mats, 7/11 s, parks, shopping centers.Hell, they are now the largeist minority. Why does are goverment screw
their own people while kissing the foreiners *ss. and bussiness gives the labor
to other countries. Im telling you that
this country is slowly going down the
tubes, and in the name of the almighty
dollar!! In god we trust? Yea right!!
OUR goverment and the bussiness in this
country is very corrupt, and we need a revolution or a miracle from god to save
this country. I now hate the trucking
bussiness and everything they stand for!!!

Answer:
And what are those NIEVE MISTAKES ?

Answer:
My mistakes were long ago and should be
forgiven now , but it is an insurance(ie:
in god we trust issue, and now even if
I was forgiven, I have read enough about
how trucking schools, and companys treat
people(ie: all the negitivity Ive read in
these trucking forums. The unsuspecting
newbee to this industry can obviously
get screwed up the a** and i think
that is pretty obvious if you spend
weeks, if not months reading and researching all the bs on these forums.
Whatever mistakes I made in my youth
are less corrupt than the companys and or
goverment that lives for a dollar bill,
and will screw anybody to get it. Go out
on I95 and see how the drivers are driving with reckless abandon, in the name
of a dollar bill, and it all starts at the top of the heap and runs down hill
from there(kinda sounds like plumbing dont
it?) Do your research and mabbe you wont
get sucked in to any egotistical hype
that is giving young kids (robots) fresh out of high school overly high expectations
that may end up ruining their lives. Think
god for the internet, and freedom of speach
if nothing elese.

Answer:
The world does not owe you a living, a job, or anything else for that matter. Rather than blaming Mexican imigrants, our government, trucking companies, or our economic system, take a good look in the mirror.
Regardless of whether you think you should be forgiven, YOU made your mistakes and now YOU must live with their consequences.
As for our country, it is the greatest nation in the world and if you don't like it nobody is forcing you to stay here.
As for Mexican imigrants, or any imigrants for that matter, if they are here legally they are welcome to enjoy the opportunities afforded them.
So suck it up, find an employer that will hire you, trucking or otherwise, work hard, pay your bills, and be a grown up.

Answer:
Sounds like a major case of sour grapes!
Now we all make mistakes in our youth and it seems some continue to make the same mistakes over and over as they get older. I am not saying all,just some!
What we learn from those mistakes is important. And also complaining and going "poor me" does not help either! You need to stop having a pity party and look real hard to see what you can change about where your at in life.Those "other people"or the government can't do that for you.
You state you didn't get the job you wanted but you give no real reason why this happened. So all I can tell you is perhaps there is something else out there for you! But you have to be the one to find it,and want it.
Stop blaming the government,other people for what happen to you! Get off your duff and change your bad luck! What and who your blaming didn't cause your bad luck.If you don't like the way your life is going,change it! It's all up to you.
I guess I am so blasted tired of people that think its everyone elses fault that their lives are in the dumpster that I felt the need to add my two cents!
That old adage...Life is what YOU make it,rings very true!

Good...
but didnt get the job I deserve.
What job is that? I can't get the job I deserve either, because I wasn't bright enough to keep my butt in school when I was younger...
I might have made some nieve mistakes when I was younger,but dam it I still have to make a living.
You pay for all your mistakes. To expect otherwise is foolish. So get over it and go make a living-no one can give you a liveing, you have to go get it, do whatever it takes.
I was born and raised in this country, and am sitting in my old beat up van watching mexicans driving new cars
and trucks.
Who's fault is that? Yours. Apparently those mexicans have figured out a better way of making a decent living than you have.If you are so unhappy aboutit, do something about it. Wealth is not going to just fall in your lap, you have to go out and find it.
If they can work so hard in this country, why cant they work on solving the problems in their country that made them come here and overpopulate our
luandry mats, 7/11 s, parks, shopping centers.
Because in this country, working hard, and more importantly, working smart, will lead to sucess and wealth. The immigrants that come here do so because their countries are ruled by oppressive overbearing governments that like to micromanange everything.
You could learn a thing or 2 from those mexicans...
Hell, they are now the largeist minority. Why does are goverment screw their own people while kissing the foreiners *ss. and bussiness gives the labor to other countries.
WTF are you talking about? Are you drunk? The only screwing our gov't does to it's people is taxing the crap out of us, and imposing stupid laws and regulations on us.
Im telling you that this country is slowly going down the tubes, and in the name of the almighty dollar!! In god we trust? Yea right!!
No, it is going down the tubes because of people who are too lazy/stupid to make a living and then expect the gov't to just give them money and a job and anything else they think they need.
OUR goverment and the bussiness in this country is very corrupt, and we need a revolution or a miracle from god to save
this country.
I'll agree with you about the revolution, but I think it is for different reasons and desired outcomes.
I now hate the trucking bussiness and everything they stand for!!!
OK, so what? Go out and do something you like then, this is a free country, no one is stopping you.

Could you fill in the details though? Was that a DUI< Felony< Multiple traffic citations< or is it that your future employer saw that special something in you that we are seeing. . .Racism!
