Thanks for the welcome, Cheri. I'm busy reading threads and getting lots of information, useful and otherwise. LOL

I find I especially have a great respect for the women drivers. I try to make it a point to ask what made them get into driving. Most tell me it was to support their kids. I can relate as I was a single mom (husband died) and my daughter is a single mom (deadbeat dad). I can't imagine, tho, leaving my kids in someone else's care for long periods of time. I say that as my grandchildren just ran screaming thru the house and used my desk chair as a "safe" tag!

I see all kinds of drivers coming in and out of the plaza. It reminds me of my younger days when I would go out dancing in the nightclubs. The lines never change, only the people and faces. I've been backed into a corner in my office, I've been propositioned, stalked and even threatened. But, I still love my job. I've made a lot of good friends with drivers and received a lot of really good advice.

The women drivers always say the same thing...they never come out of their trucks after dark. And, still...I want to be an expeditor. I was in outside sales for 30 years and I guess it's that wanderlust that just takes over.
