    I need some advice, folks. I happened to run into the same truck driver at two different truck stops three weeks ago. We exchanged phone numbers and have been talking about life on the road and stuff. This guy told me he was a retired Green Beret and that he was studying to get his doctorates in psychology. When I figured out he didn't know much about psychology or politics, I did a google search on this man yesterday once I got home, and this is what I found: http://www.pownetwork.org/phonies/phonies68.htm.
    I'm a little nervous cause I don't know if this man has my truck number or any of my personal information. I know he works for Napa. I don't know if they are aware of his lengthy criminal history. And if they are, why would they hire him? Should I make Schneider (my company) aware of this information? Should I get a different truck? :biggrin_2556:
