    I had one employer tell me he thinks I am a spaceman and not a trucker. (A child playing with toys)

    I got the last laugh on him. Crusty as he was. Whats really amazing is that his entire business based on local route based milk pickup at each individual farm has evaporated and turned sour. Hes running pure sleepers for out of state long haul tankers to Baltimore now. Not a single local farm in sight.

    Look at your test this way, if they bounce you again its England not you. Get out while you still can.

    It's not unusual to miss the first upgrade test. You can be a good driver with a slightly bumpy start. Just remember touching another vehicle or property IS a big deal. So do WHATEVER you have to do to never do that.

    Yea, backing into the boss car is a bad thing no matter how much why may deserve it.

    “Upgrade”?

    I thought the only “upgrade” where C.R. England is concerned is leaving there to work somewhere better.
