hobby = trucking,golf,fishing and fishing story = yes I have a bunch, but not now, my next review is coming up. Hey out there in Matlack Land, Things are ok with me, I can still hunt and peck,Mr. Gehringer. The post Matlack world has never been the same, working for a company like Matlack ,spoiled the heck out of me, that company spoiled a lot of people and I just want to say, they were some of the bestthat I have ever met. I know that I came from the old school but I sure was happy to see some old names, like Leo Ulery down in Ironton Oh and boy can I relate to some of the stories. I drove for 7 yrs and went toBill McGrath at LP for 2 1/2 but Bill Sickles changed my mind, so I listened to Ray Wiggins and went mgmt. I also paid attn to Bob Hindle and his bro Ray. that ws a mistake So I went to Tom and he said get out while u can, and that was a fatal... I really enjoyed Matlack, they taught me more about this business, than if I took a doctorate at Harvard, I'm sure u can tell that I did not! However I do have a few good ones to relate to y'all. It's been nice, I hope to hear from all of you.... In Nov. 2004, I spent a few good hours with my good buddies from the old Woodbridge NJ terminal Jim Tracy and Jack O'Malley and their respective wives, Jacks wife used to be the receptionist and gal friday at #51 WB we just got right back into the drivers room as soon as we re-met for the first time in many years, so if your ears were ringing, thats the story, we all live within 2 hours or so, and we will get together again, please drop me a line if you know me or who I'm talking about,,,,or if you are just interested. I was with the pipeline for 15 years, all 3 of us were affiliated with the Roadeo,"Bill McGrath" Jim and I won the NJ state championships(seperate classes) and went on to the nationals twice as reps of the"pipeline" and we both scored well but did'nt win. Our Matlack spirit won...No doubt! Well my freinds, take care, be safe, and I hope to hear from ya soon... |
