I can't do team's, but you might like it if you try it. That's the only way to find out in my book. __________________

Hi 94 It's something to think about for sure. I know the concerns as well, about driving with someone. Part of my reason for wanting to drive truck is I am somewhat of a loner and also, set in my ways. Thing is, as you mention, "given the state of the economy" it may be a necessary evil just to get our feet wet. And really, everything in my life has been for the good as I look back so if I had to team with someone that wasn't "my style" I figure it would be good for me in some way. Sometimes I see myself as very selfish and self-centered. When I get around others it is good to have to think of their feelings and needs as well. I guess, again, I will just take what comes. May not be the ideal but I want to drive. Best of luck!! In all you do Quote: Originally Posted by 94nole Yeah, I thought about that when I was writing it...I guess I was thinking "in a perfect world". Given the state of the economy, I am not sure I will have a lot of choice. I plan to hit the recruiting circuit pretty hard in a week or two. Not many companies who'll accept a greenie. Thanks for the info. I say, while on the outside looking in, that I won't mind running hard. But I am sure that the reality of it is another thing altogether. __________________ Denise "My life reminds me of a confused windsock in a tornado" quote by me "I'll just park over here outa the way"
