    I don't know what I'll do after food service. But I don't mind it. Lots of fun and tight spaces to navigate, that's for sure. #### good training lol

    I am all good with parking in tight places. But when I set the brakes, the only thing I want to do is tailgate the freight and have someone pick it off.

    I am allergic to manual labour.

    Tallest building in Ohio, Society Building (Society Bank now known as Key Bank remember them?) Building was built in 1990-1991 by the now deceased former own of the Cleveland Indians Dick Jacobs.
    I think Forest City also probably had there hands in it as well.

    Remember yesterday lol when I was talking about low clearance and backing in off the street around walls and stuff, well there's a good example.

    Actually they used to have a bunch of gear and equipment in the way made it really hard and a new group bought that building and went down there and told the staff to find a new home for there gear and equipment and get it out of the way.

    After a few years doing the O/O thing, I decided that medical benefits, along with a pension, would be a good way to go. Plus, I'm a really lousy businessman and I'm not ashamed to admit that. So here I am driving for ABF.
    I have all the same usual raves and rants that alot of you guys have, but I have to say that these long hours are a killer.
    12-14 hours every day is really wearing me down.
    Are all you guys working about the same amount of hours?
