    Several years back, the wife and I were driving down to Laredo, we were with CRE then. As we were getting close to our drop,(their yard) they sent our next load on the QC. The load had no time on it and we were sure that we wouldn't make driving their mandated 62 mph and we discussed needing some speed or meth to make otd. We were only joking with each other while in the truck. I also made comment about having some drinks afterwards to come down from drugs. Sure as s#%*, we pull into Laredo yard and are sent for drug and alcohol tests. Coincidence?

    It's no surprise to me. Years ago the management started looking at ways to save money. Since they expended all the ways for cargo they started looking at the driver. Cameras in the cab, monitoring engine performance, time management, and anything else the driver did. I believe you can put too much pressure on a driver and distract him or her from doing their job.

    I might give it a go, it's too bad I miss all the fun.

    What I would have done instead was record a old Unshackled Show off the radio and then put a couple of headphones on that monitor and play it repeat 24/7 Drive em crazy.
