    Nope. You don't. That light may be the headlight of an approaching train.

    Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Wal-Mart is most certianly a good company to drive for. But I don't like the rumbles I'm hearing from within, from close friends that drive for them.

    While I HATE shopping at Wal-Mart and wish Meijer would take them down a few notches...I always have respected how they treated their own, in-house truckers...this is because Sam Walton used to be a trucker himself!
