    I'm thinking about driving out to some truck stops tonight and conversing with any willing drivers about how happy they are with their career choice, whether they like their companies, etc. I'm wondering whether I can expect to pay just for access to the lounges. Thanks.

    You can pay me your admission fee.

    I always take free money.


    But otherwise, no, they don't.

    No and that's a good idea to get a feel for what's ahead. Granted a company i think is my best job might be your worst......

    Might do better by sitting at the tables outside in the smoking areas. Had lots of drivers just sit down and vent about whatever was on their minds today. Some really... interesting... stuff. :)

    :biggrin_2559: I want to hear the story of no-panties guy. Or, wait--do I?

    I see your point, but I'd almost always rather chat with people face-to-face than via a message board.

    But probably not with no-panties guy.

    The difference between here and a truck stop.

    Here you can not smell us, see the missing teeth and sleeveless shirts or three inch arm pit hair!
