    I worked in and around trucks since I was 14, never drove one though (well officially at least). I worked in a beer distributors warehouse in high school and college, at a rental joint (never drove anything bigger than a Bobcat or Box truck), and now I work at a trucking company again. No worries admins, I'm not here to spam your forums with any info on that.

    I am here to learn more about the industry as a whole, in all aspects. Surprisingly there's not a lot of info out there on drivers, or the industry as a whole. When I started working here I thought to myself "dang, does anyone really know anything about anything?"

    I work in safety and recruiting, so I have a load to deal with every day (CSA... hooray? No, not really.)

    I am interested basically in learning more about the drivers opinion. Ive been out on loads with one of our guys before, as strong and driven as I am... aint no way in hell I could work from midnight to 7pm like he does. Let alone do his job. Though I gotta say, every time I see his truck I think about buying one myself. Ive been thinking about working with him part time on weekends to bring in a little extra cash for myself, but who knows.

    Thanks boss, is there a way to change these smilies... or is it like my Mustang GT horn?

    If you're gonna use it, you're gonna feel lame?

    There is an option of 'More Smiley's' available at the bottom of that drop down that will bring up a whole bunch of different stuff!

    John, welcome aboard. If your wanting to ask questions of our drivers, best place to start is in the "Experienced Driver" section. You'll get a lot of great input in that section.

    There's plenty of threads on the CSA thing. So read away.
