Message:: [QUOTE="werewasi, post: 3358124, member: 107504"]Yes, as fifthwheel said, we could see it coming. People of integrity and self worth are not going to survive with companies that don't display respect for their employees. It raises the perennial question - why don't these stupid companies never embrace the universal truth that having a constant turnover is not a cheap way of doing business. I followed your driving with a lot of interest (had my Michelin road Atlas out) because I bought a bike in Maine in 2010 and rode across the States, coming into Idaho on a fabulous ride over the Teton pass from Jackson. I was heading for Kalispell MT so spent most of my time on the 287 and 90 in your state. Didn't get to Boise. I used to call in at the truckstops when forced to use an "I" road because I was fascinated by the horror of it all - the sloppy looking drivers, the living in the truck lifestyle and the seeming mechanics of the industry. I came to this forum to read and get a lot of answers. Anyway, you did your best. Something good will come of the experience. Don't forget. If you want to come to Australia, I'll help organise a trip. It's a great place and I can say that because I emigrated here. PM me if you want a contact phone number and name for your notebook.[/QUOTE]
