<html> <body> Omigosh, Jeff, you make me really, REALLY glad to be self-employed!! But I think you'll find that the truck drivers are not in at all an enviable position, with diesel costs so high, especially those who own their own beautiful big rigs, all customized and whistle clean, so nice. They are in a position where people will pay them $2k to deliver a load it costs them $3k to drive. They're going out of business by the drove. And who can they find to buy their rigs? Susan Kline OSU, Newport Arts Center <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite=""> I resigned, in part, to help my colleagues in this regard.  Part of my resignation was with respect to my peers and those who come after me.  After I resigned, the dean was conveniently able to get the pay band increased (this crap is backwards isn't it?).  Whoever takes this job needs to hold out for higher pay, or my resignation is in vain.</blockquote></body> </html>
