I noticed reading today's active discussions, that there are those that only choose to make negative comments. I must admit...hate to though, that I have been guilty of making a few myself. It came to my attention though that so many Operators,Owners and Contractors,  view this site, looking to improve , I know we see things on here that make us scratch our head in amazement. That said, when you see these let's try to be part of the solution in a professional way. Thank's Todd.

Well said Rob. I have learned a long time ago that what we say does matter. I picture may say a thousand words but when we talk we create many images or pictures so to speak of ourselves for others to view.

mmm

I dislike aragant people,when they can walk on water they may get my attention.When a subject comes up I try to give advice,what they do with it there business.I have been in this game way to long and heard just about every "ricky racer" imaginable.

30 some years into this game I still remember the ones that helped me.I have to say i'm not overly impressed with some of the membership here.I try to use some humor when I can,maybe dry sometimes.

That poor slob you just had the agument with on the job happens to pay your check.Politics need to be left to management,how we forget.Once a super see's your a standup operator with a "safe,can do" attitude one gains respect.You young people need to learn humility,plain and simple.I always greeted a super/gen forman with a handshake,do you?

The main reason I left pumping was back stabing mouthy operators.I never forgot where I came from.

hate to hear that is the reason you left many...the idea of backstabbing mouthy operator's running you out of the business. I have found these type of pump operators are in every company, but also noticed if you do your job and do it well and take pride in it, the bs kinda avoids you. Trying to be a professional every day definitely pays.

an old wise hillbilly once told me "your candle dont shine no brighter when you spend all your time tryin to blow someone else's out

customers are always right,unless there is a safety issue.even so there is no room or excuse for arragance.arguing with customers will only cut or eliminate your paycheck,so why do it? if we only do unto others as we want done to us ...STILL GOLDEN. NEGATIVELY POSITIVE.

THERE ARE NO STAINGERS IN THE WORLD,JUST FRIENDS YOU HAVENT MET.
