    SSB even though Creffer is a pain sometimes...and maybe not worth the years of grief..wonder how much you'd have in profit sharing...if you had stayed at Creffer from the first hire till now...profit share average is around $2400 per year...but I can understand your reasons for not staying...over the years

    If I wouldn't have left the first time, I would have already had to retire because of a medical issue (or been deemed mentally unfit). Since getting into this truck, I bet my BP has already jumped 5-10 points. It pisses me off so much, I go thru 3 or 4 4 pill doses of ibuprofen because it gives me such a headache...I didn't get that many headaches at SPD or Moore, but these retarded trucks with all their amplified sound effects and it's indecisive gear selections gets me wound up ready to blow. I am surprised I haven't broken off the up/down gear selector. When I was home for a 34 for my gear load up, I didn't have a single headache. But yesterday, and again today, I did. Today, between Augusta and Wytheville I am already on my 2nd dose.

    SSB,
    You better mellow out cuz! You are going to have a heart attack or stroke if you let that goofy truck get the best of you. See if you can get a different make or model truck that does not have all the weird sensors. That's too many Ibuprofen for any one man to take daily. Please be careful!!!

    The KW’s and Pete’s have much less intrusive safety features. They’re still there, but they don’t scream in your face every two seconds. The 579 i had had very passive safety systems. They didn’t do anything unless you were really about to FUBAR

    I have a 2025 anthem @supersnackbar and it’s enough to drive me insane, some days I can manage but most days I just sit there like a beaten man listening to my truck holler at me all day. The “safety” systems built in to these trucks are next to impossible to satisfy running south Florida as much as I do, I’d be best to put it on the shoulder and limp it home at 25 mph, even then I’d find someone doing 20 :)

    I hate how loud they are at all times. But especially when you’re cruising quietly down the road, early in the morning, pre traffic. Got music playing lightly. And the beeper goes off at full blast as if you have the radio blaring, cb full turnt and jabbering on a phone call.

    I lose 3 mins of my life each time it does that. It should at LEAST be in proportion to your radio volume.

    I can’t recall one time when the lane departure warning has helped me.
    I’m paying attention,I know when I’m drifting out of my lane.
