   I can definitely see why you quit, then. I actually haven't heard anything good   
   about the teamsters around here either, but that's another story. A good friend   
   of mine actually left the teamsters to haul hazmat. Better pay, but he's gone a   
   lot more.   
      
   Our trade is more of a 'feast or famine' kinda deal. When work is good..   
   everyone's working. When work gets slow, only the most skilled seem to stay   
   working.
