    Yesterday was my hire date anniversary. Been here four years.

    Been re-reading some of my old posts from when I first started and chuckling at what a n00b I was. Worrying about stuff like whether or not to call breakdown over a lit ABS light, etc.

    We've come a long way, baby.

    Doesn’t everyone call roadside assistance for an ABS light?

    And this post reminds me of the one time I pulled an Amazon trailer while at Abilene. I parked in a pull through spot at a NJ Tnpke service plaza, went in then came back out and had a minor heart attack when I didn't see an Abilene trailer in the parking lot and thought my truck had been stolen.
