    Vital Signs which is the last track on Moving Pictures has to be one of the best. My buddy Joe said "every song on Grace Under Pressure is like a musical journey." He also really liked the song Camera Eye which I think was what track 5 on Moving Pictures.

    2112 that's quite the musical odyssey. Pretty much no other band or at least not to many have the depth that Rush has.
    Natural Science on Permanent Waves that's a good one too, oh heck all songs are good.

    My $.02, since I'm a Rush fan :

    P/G and Signals are probably my favorites, but Hemispheres, Hold Your Fire and Test for Echo are also up there. For some reason the synth era stands out for me.

    I forgot about test for echo. I don't know to to many songs on Hold You're Fire.

    YRC is a terribly mismanaged company. Even my TM considers them the boat anchor that is sinking the rest of us regional companies that they own. First they slashed wadges by 15% ...didn't work. Then they slashed manning ...didn't work. Then they closed down terminals. Now we all lost a week of vacation and other benefits. We displayed a YRC propaganda poster in our terminals for a while all blaming our parent companies fiasco on poor prior management. "Prior leadship went on a spending spree like a kid with a limitless credit card". Now they are asking the rest of us to tighten our belts to help them keep from completely collapsing. Complete BS. They should have never tried to acquire USF or New Penn. Its almost like adopting a bunch of kids and asking them to pay your mortgage when you overspend on a house.

    Meanwhile, the union informs us to expect pension cuts in the spring of 2016.

    WTF? I was gonna apply to a city driver position they have here. Starting to rethink that now. Screwing with pensions is scary business. I'm trying to target Union companies when I can but Maybe I should stick to applying ABF for now.

    ABF is a good one. I just applied to work transit for GFS it's kind of a long shot, but maybe not. They already asked me if I had doubles and the answer is yes! Plus I already work there even though I'm the man on the totem poll who has his head under the dirt ha-ha! So it's like having you're toe nail in the door.

    Really GFS isn't bad it's food service though and that's as we've discussed over and over again a whole different animal entirely and it's all I've done since I started doing this. Beer first and now food. Never did freight however, all my work has been city route work and ehh I've had enough city route work. Would rather go out and back get on road and crank up Test for Echo!

    Doesnt matter, you will still be doing great compared to most if you were a city man for YRC. ABF, YRC you still make a LOT of money, and should be able to sack a bunch away into a 401k....
