    No I dont think the company OR teaming can be blamed for this one. Between the mandatory half hour break. Or the mandatory ten hours off duty. There is no reason time can' be found to take a break almost every day. I say almost because, sometimes the half hour break isn't enough time, if there is a line for showers.

    Though they are not drivers I can't help but shake my head in amazement at the number of people who go shopping in pajamas.

    This thread has me CRYING!!! Funniest thread ever!

    I agree btw. I may have to be a truck driver, but I don't have to LOOK like one. Collared polo type shirts, clean jeans or khaki pants/shorts with cargo pockets, clean sneakers or hikers, a shave and BRUSHED TEETH.

    I have too many stories of smelling drivers 10 feet away at a pilot. No excuse whatsoever. NONE.

    This is exactly why company in the USA implement physical task tests when this is not a unusual physique for current applicants. Just weed them out before they have a opportunity to seize a heart valve behind the wheel
