    Another few pieces of advice for new drivers. Don't turtle race other trucks trying to pass you. Slow down a little and let them pass. Any time you allow another vehicle to stay on your side is flirting with disaster. You never know what's around that next curve or or over that next hill. We all need room, and it starts with giving other trucks room. And DO NOT use your high beams at night to let someone know they can get over. Blink your low beams on and off. You'll understand the first time someone uses their high-beams to do this at night.

    Join McKesson in Memphis from day one and run easy. All the other stuff and trouble goes bye bye. (Grocery warehouses lumpers, knots on heads etc)

    Don't run with the driving/fog lights on unless absolutely needed.

    My advice to myself would be to never be content with where I work and with how much I make.
