    A lot of drivers don't like to go into Memphis. I haven't had any issues there but I've only been in and out of the city during the same shift and not had to deal with parking.

    Really good advice here. I would just add to never get in a rush. Take your time and don't let anyone make you get in a rush. Being in a rush never ends well.

    Oh, I don't know, I was told it was an easy job.:laughing-guffaw: We never knew something was "bad", it was just part of learning the job. Today, most want all good and no bad. It's why our society is in the jam its in.
