I was thinking I would ask the guys that work for us if they had any opening, I then googled Jewett,,,,,
Upstate!!
Jewett ain't upstate!!

Rochester would not cut it for you....

Cliff,
Upstate? Jewitt? nah... That's still city for most of us..
Upstate would be here in cortland... Right in the middle of the state..
Now, Really upstate would be postdam, or plattsburg... now that's up state...
As far as the driving things goes... I can't help yah...
Might have had an option for you, 'til I realized your new location. Would have been driving charter buses anyways. See you this summer 8) 8) 8) .

Thanks Guys, took my endorsement tests today and passed, Tanker and Haz-Mat. That opens up some new territory. Went to my new area Tues. ya know what you guys call the Bronx and I call sorta upstate now that I have been corrected. Had a interview with a Liquid Petroleum distributor there. They called me back for a second interview tomorrow, Friday. They need a bulk tank driver and that is what I want to do, no home deliveries. Going back tomorrow, hopefully I can nail it down,,,Ride Safe,,,REAPS

Good luck with all that Cliff, you mothertrucker you, maybe we can make plans to meet at the Roscoe Diner in the Catskills and do some riding this summer......Will do up a pictorial on the trees install and such soon, just prepping for a big a$$ ache when I do the forks, not a fun job.
For anyone interested I'm going to have quite a few stock parts here for sale shortly, I'll offer them to the NY board first then on the 1800 classifieds after that.

Mick I would have to gues that you have a garage full of extra parts and if you sell them all it should supplement your income enough that maybe you could just get a new X :wink: :wink: :lol: :lol:

Yo Mick, The roscoe diner sounds good or even somewhere inbetween further North, we will work out out in the warmer weather. Hopefully some of you will come by me for a weekend. I have scoped out some incredible routes already. One part I am calling The Catskills Dragon, only about 30 minutes from my house. Open invite!! I go to you one weekend and you guys come to me. We are alot closer now!!
DaBeard, got your message late today I was up there all day lookin for a job, the interview with the LP co. fizzled when the manager showed me a e-mail from there corporate offices telling them that layoffs were coming. **** on me!!
But after that went to another L.P. company and when I walked in and asked the girl at the desk if there were any driving jobs, she told me that I would proberebly be hired within 30 days. Then she took me to see the manager, filled out an application, and the manager said she is in the middle of her yearly reports and forcasting and they would be doing some hiring within 30 days. A positive, got my fingers crossed.
I will give ya a call tomorrow DaBeard, I am dead tired, did over 400 miles today knocking on doors... CLIFF
