    Night owls enjoy mental benefits including enhanced memory, intelligence, reasoning, and what a study claimed was “superior cognitive function.”

    If you ever would study car haulers, you would find they have a smaller chance of damentia because of how many factors enter in to a decision making procedure for loading cars. I asked a computer guy to set up a program to determine which car should be loaded where and he told me you are making more decisions than a computer is capable of doing.

    Studies have shown that most people who are geniuses suffer from mental health issues. This is why most flatbed operators are often considered to have questionable mental health.

    Sadly, most of the new guys use none of that decision making process. The overall knowledge level in carhaul has dropped precipitously in recent years, especially related to weight and balance as well as positioning for minimum height.

    But hey, they're awesome carhaulers, look how fast they are! /s

    I’m sure laziness is the root of the issue either way, but does this come from people wanting to load in the order they deliver so they don’t have to unload one to get to another just to have to put it back on the truck?
