    You know,the people here willing to help brings back memories of the old days of trucking.
    I remember breaking down a few times over the years and it was nothing for a couple other drivers to pull over and see if they could help.

    Now days you could die on the side of the road and rarely will anyone stop.

    Good to see some of the "old school" ways are still alive.
     
    Chesty and Injun Thank this.

    The point is: you made it. You didn't have to, you could have just complained on a forum, said oh that's a shame, gone on with your life etc. But you stopped, took the time and made the call.

    Glad to hear it's getting worked out. I would definitely go with a NEW mentor. The first might decide to retaliate against you, as if he hasn't treated you bad enough already.

    Please note the stated experience levels of everyone involved.

    A lot of old school folks, but many new school drivers with old school hearts.

    When one of us is in trouble, all of us are in trouble. I am proud to work with the team I have here at Swift. I am proud to have people like Condo, Blackw900, Redd, Ken and Rerun, just to name a few as teachers and team members. Whether they like it or not. (Yep, I really do listen to you guys)

    Now....about this mentor.......
    Apaches can get pretty nasty, but I'm always open to new ideas....
     
    The Challenger, zincman, Ken and 2 others Thank this.
