    Threads like this make me depressed because I realize how little do I know after 2 years of driving.

    In my experience, it doesn't work that way.

    You just can't have someone in any management positions who's actually been in the trenches and knows how the operation is supposed to run. It's better to bring some company spokes-propagandist in from outside who doesn't know squat. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, I made a big mistake taking a 10 in Desert Center, CA. No facilities in the ghost town, but wide open parking. It seemed like every line haul outfit uses that lot for their Bang and Hooks...

    ALL. NIGHT. LONG.
