Profile For Stevo Reno

Dad had an old friend in Arizona 1i early 90's,the guy was in his 70s. His daughter, had broken the land speed record @ Bonneville, in the 1970's in an electric dragster. Looked just like the top fuelers, but on smaller scale.

It had 2 GE electric motors. Sadly she died at like age 24-25 dunno from what. Dad saved her car in his garage. I seen it when he was restoring it. GE sent him 2 brand new motors too. He put it in the Riverside Casino's Car Museum along with the stat board of the event from the day.

I thought it was cool.....If memory serves me her speed then was in the high 120 mph range, near 130. I guess that was a big deal back in the '70s, being it was electric

Oooops forgot to add, my buddies bro working @ UPS just retired last month after 40+ years. My bro there probably won't retire til he dies (@ UPS 42+ years now). Who knows, ain't spoke to him in over 15-20 years now....He is married my exes sister (another witch) almost as long as he's been at UPS....the Simp lol

I'm curious as to how much higher did the workers union dues rise as well?? Ya know they had to go up as well, since the union gained the employees more $$....

When I was in Teamsters #495 @ Waste Management in the '80's our dues then started at $10 a month. When I left and went to work for Pepsi, turnin' wrenches, they had the exact same Teamsters union local #495 and the dues were $45 a month.

I only left Pepsi in 9 months because WM hired a new supervisor and foreman in the shop. My friends kept buggin' me to come back to WM. So after I interviewed with the new guys, I got a $3 hour raise from what i made an hour before leaving WM 9 months earlier. Made sense to go back to WM, since working @ Pepsi actually was costing me around $2,000 a year more out of pocket

I weighed my options because Pepsi was @ first 45 miles 1 way, the union dues, the cost of travel etc. V.S. my 5 mile drive, 1 way, to the WM shop, lower dues, same hourly wages now(then) and it put more money back in my pocket to return to WM. Besides, I was divorced now, and raising my 2 kids as a single dad....Divorcing the witch, also put a LOT more $$ back in my pockets hahaha

Ridicules how far this whole "Woke" agenda has progressed in society. People have became sheep even more so pffffft.....I can call myself a lion,tiger, or bear, don't make it true hahaha. No matter what they claim, we were all born 1 of 2 genders, not 180 pfffft. I agree ALL bathrooms need locks, period. There's still Privacy laws to uphold, what's next? CCTV in em??

Even here in Philippines, I've written the biggest local tv station, on how bad they push this TS/Drag Queen BS even here on tv programs, and the Jolli-Bee's franchise commercials, in print or broadcast! This crap is everywhere, like OMFG

There's 1 guy who is plastered all over the place "Vice Ganda" his name total blonde drag queen He is even the spokes person for the shopping app here like Amazon, "Shopee" jeeeze....There are a few other MEN, on tv variety or game shows total ugly azz men with bad make up, glued on hair buns etc hahaha damn FUGLY dudes!

The Vice Ganda dude, is even host on a KIDS tv show and a few other shows. Of course I haven't got a reply, nor even expect 1. I just voiced my opinion on how stupid this whole thing has become. We KNOW there are people of different orientations or so called genders, but dammit we don't need to be bombarded with it shoved down our throats at every turn !!

Thought since over here was mostly a Catholic based society, it wouldn't be as bad as it is here. Talk about "western influence"

I have NO issues with gays, my sis came out of the closet over 30 years ago, big deal. Jokingly I told her, "just keep your private stuff, private !!, I don't need, or wanna hear ANY details" lol

With CRST I used Transflo on my cell, saved the paperwork for months "In case" they ever asked for em. Burned em later......

@ Legends, we used an app they had/used,I forget the name, sometimes it was "iffy" going thru. Numerous times the ladies would call me to resend. We also carried manila envelopes to save the papers, until we were in the terminal to hand em all in for the month. And we had a "inventory" list to write each BOL down in order, along with the BOL's.

I did a lot of off the clock stuff IF it was going to help me boost my productivity....I thing I was told by my mentor was he would fuel and do that stuff, while on his 30. Besides what am I gunna do for 30 minutes lol I didn't always need it. It takes under 15 minutes to fuel up, clean windows and mirrors and pull out to run in grab a bite or coffee or take a leak whatever, and get right back on the highway. My 2 co's did waste a LOT of time on a 30, and make it an hour or 2, like they were special or sumpin'

I kept up on my pre n post trips religiously, besides having newer trucks, still kept me alert to what wasn't happening, leaks or defects. Of course my lifetime as a mechanic helped me out more than most, knowing everything, was good and no problems with the truck/trailers....Trailers, I did get most repaired when I found defects. Once on I-80 during the winter, headed west, from Iowa, we needed 2 tires fixed ASAP.

Well, since most Love's, either had no active tire lane or shop opened (during the china flu), I was not driving, so I kept calling ahead to every Love's on route. Took 3rd Love's to finally have 1 open, 2 a tire guy on duty, so told em to await our arrival in about 2 hours or less!........Also they had issues with frozen air lines or guys calling off work, so no one on staff etc. This was all after our DM gave up with calling any road side help. We did get it handled as soon as we rolled into the shop...Gawd I hated winter on the I-80 hahaha

Michael, 1 tip I learnt a bit late RE: military bonus's lol.....I got my DD-214 and Honorable Discharge "an actual diploma too" 1978.....Well, I got a whopping 1 cent starting CPM addition (31 cpm) I was told later by retired army guy the companies really push the military thing hard, because....

They get a lot bigger kick back from the Government for hiring a vet, than they're giving you in CPM lol Oh well, I didn't really care or fuss about it like some other guys did.

Very good luck to you man, sounds like it won't be too long until, you're in that drivers seat, with someone out there!!

My mentor at CRST weekends in Dallas after their last delivery for the week. They run dedicated R&L freight, Dallas-Fontana and back.. So their week ends in Dallas, he sent me 3 great pics of the event. 1 of it beginning, 2nd during full eclipse, n 3rd as it cleared away very nice cell pics actually !

My filipina's kids liked the pics, they've never seen 1 in their 10/11 year old lives, they were in an AWE moment checking out the pics lol

When I had to go take a random, the company sent an Uber to our Catapillar load delivery, right as we were turning to make our delivery. Then, sent another Uber, to return me to that customer, just in time to meet my co-driver coming to the customers gate to leave lol.....DM specified to make sure, the DR did both tests, drug and alcohol and get the papers for both.....This was all done within their required 2 hour test window....Kinda funny for the urgency of it all really

CRST (just thought it up) "Can't Remember Shiitt Today"
