    Another option is they say that in orientation and then put out those mass emails to the fleet knowing most will do as told and others won't... So they get a bit of the savings without the cost of oversight... Now I can see Abilene do that.

    More showers? Huh? With 500 gallons at PFJ one can shower every day for free.

    And they did tell all... Via fleet wide text... LOL

    As has been mentioned, with communication and other issues, it takes a good year to fully settle in to the Abilene Way... Trust me, coming from Accounting and Auditing to Abilene was a HUGE shock... LOL

    The lights would not be as cool at noon... LOL

    And they did some kind of fund raiser drive around some town last year... I don't remember the details about it but I guess there were a bunch of Big Green Trucks all lined up on the interstate.

    I'll take your offer! I don't mind rolling in and out of CA West / East every 2 weeks or so. Can even handle running it north/south every few months. But it's just too soon to go back now. :( ... lol
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy and KD5AXG Thank this.

    But blocking 3 lanes through DC would more than make up for it. ;)

    Who said anything about the lights? I'm thinking VERY pissed off 4-wheelers.

    That was before you came on... I didn't either, but we both heard about it in Orientation.
