    Won't Big G consider putting in deer catchers (guards)? I know Abilene equipped their fleet with them. I think they run 7-800 a pop but might be worth it in the long run. Repairs for hitting a horny deer I would think run into the thousands. Something to consider.

    I am actually headed to Shelbyville today, I have some information for the prez on them, Considering we run 75% of our freight in Pa. and Oh.,2 of the highest states for deer strikes it might be a good idea. Since I hit the one last week I have had 2 additional close calls since then in the new truck, I think the word is out in the deer community that I killed one of their own lol

    Does Big G have dedicated or regional?

    I think they have a couple of dedicated deals but we were told in orientation that everyone goes wherever the company goes with the exception for NY city...

    it is really not a big deal because most of our runs are out and back..

    ive been to NYC with Big G. It's rare, but it does happen. And to be fair, they called me first and asked if I'd be willing to do it. And they paid me extra too.

    Do it once to say you've done it. Then run far, far away!
