    You seem to know a bit about Daimler...just curious as I have accepted a driving position there and am scheduled to start next week.

    Yes I worked there for about 11 years before I retired. Are you coming from ODFL? If so you might know Neal. Are you going to be local or test fleet? If you have any questions I can probably answer them or point you to the right person.

    I'm doing the test fleet but will probably be doing some local cartage as well.
    My goal...get at least another 5 years in and pension out as a casual.

    Cool and congrats. I have not done any test fleet runs because my bed at home is pretty comfortable. Have not even been to the test track in Madras. Nice to be starting at the end of winter. It's a pretty good bunch of folks to work with on both the team side and truck plant side but............if you get to talking.....tell em there are a couple of retired guys bad mouthing them, especially the shop steward.

    How was the first week Pickleball? I assume you got to be a passenger for most of the time.
