HEY ZIGGY(or anyone else that can answer)
I need a list that defines what a COOLIE carrier is.(it's for um.......research, ya, that's it :wink: )

The coolie trade was criticised for unfairness to workers, and for being de facto slavery ( lease purchase) Although labourers were supposed to be recruited by voluntary negotiation, it is evident that trickery and deceit were common and outright kidnapping occurred as well. ( free training, sorry can't get you home driver) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coolie Do to having to be PC at the pumpkindrivers forum i came up with the slur because the disposable chinamen who's lives where of little value while employed by the railroads in the 1800's had to be paid some sort of wage and had little recourse if they where ripped off. I guess it would cover just about every trucking job that isn't hourly pay and or involves no way of getting paid for excessive road delays doing linehaul work by the mile.

If you don't know by now, it wouldn't do any good to make a list. Since there aren't many non-coolie carriers left, just pick a truck color; any color will do. Since I don't have any faith whatsoever that the Establishment can, or is even bright enough to care, stop a depression from setting in, just about any job out there is going to be a coolie job, I don't have any interest in educating moe-ron drivers; there are more important things to worry about, like my three acre garden and how fat my calves will be by November. You should learn Chinese and ask your new bosses that question.

If you don't know by now, it wouldn't do any good to make a list. Since there aren't many non-coolie blue collar jobs left, just pick a vocation, any will do. Yep, that about sums it up.
