    Good point :) but I guess you can hit END on the cell phone call. I put pillows on my Qualcomm when I don't want to hear it.

    Be careful when you say that. I seem to find the ones that are insane. I messed up a few years back and let the one slip away. Since then I haven't had a relationship last more than 5 months. Oh well that's life. I'll take the sound of steel belts humming on the asphalt over the nagging when I walk in the door so it works out lol.

    Agreed. I dont miss nagging. I guess on the positive side is when I do get those infrequent chances to meet up with a female I dont get too much of it. Before they have a chance to get weird on me its time to get back on the road again. A definite perk.

    Yeh I kinda like the freedom the job brings and that its not just another 9~5 job. The boss I'm working for now is pretty good, but I remember back in the days wene It wasnt so great.
    There were some times, I'll tell you, I'd stick the qualcom outside the truck just to get a little peace.
    At first I thought it was so cool that they had computers in the trucks until I started getting that constant beep wene they wanted me to do somthing I didnt want to do.

    Boo55 I finally get it, this guy was only a two year rookie when he made this vidio, as he says it in the video him self. Say I had thirty years under my belt, I would of felt like the video was a bunch of bull right.

    Never the less it's entertaining and he's not a rookie any more, he's got 7 years under his belt.

    I'm sure the video was filmed along time ago.

    Jacks pretty much our video buff around here.

    I think many people start leaning toward the negative about most any career after quite a few years doing the same thing, as you are I guess. The totality of positive points Indiana Jack makes are very valid and are not offered in many other careers. Actually, can anyone think of another career that offers all ten positive points? This is my new career by choice, and I am very excited about entering it! Sure there's going to be hard times and good, not unlike any other career.
