    If you roll a truck in a simulator does it go on your DAC?

    not in this case the head of operations showed Ray the simulator and asked him to give it a try.He wanted Ray to stop by and talk about a truck he's getting and then he showed Ray the simulator.

    Him and another driver had fun on the simulators. One driver got lost on the simulator and crashed and was fired for it.

    Well, two families got phone calls - not the kind anybody wants.

    Affairs to tidy up, funerals, all of life's fun stuff.

    Be careful out there.

    Lol no.one day last week kb wanted Ray to stop by and talk about a trk He will be issued so after that the boss showed Ray and another driver their new simulator and told Ray to give it a try.so Ray did and went in the cornfield and hit a deer on the simulator.boss didn't say anything he knew Ray was just having some fun.but in orientation kb would never joke with the drivers.Nothing wrong with having a little fun as long as it's not hurting anyone.Ray has an outstanding relationship with kb. Now the rollover driver.He finished up orientation yesterday.Got his load this morning taking it to Omaha.Well he first went the wrong way and took awhile to find a place to turn around.He finally did and somewhere near Cresant Iowa he flipped, load went thru the roof and thats all she wrote.
