What I think is: if you are an owner who encourages drivers to approach you with what they feel may be a better way to do something, and you give it a fair hearing, then you're an owner who will keep the good drivers, and be successful - good job!:)

>Aww c'mon Greg, don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel >about all this stuff.:7 :7 This is just the kind of pointless, inane remark that discourages people from posting. I enjoy Greg's observations, and I'm sure others do, too. If you don't, how about if you just skip over them...

I am home now, having had the water pump & brakes done on my van, but would take off in a heartbeat for a good load! Last year, I needed to be home for Christmas, it was my first ever living alone in an apt, & my family all gathered round to make me feel loved - but this year, I think I can...

ghl, welcome! The answer to your question is: yes, you would be qualified to drive. But there are a lot of other questions, too, especially whether you would be happy doing this kind of work, because it isn't a 9 to 5, Monday through Friday kind of job. If you haven't been reading the fora here...

This time of year, making snowflakes from old tortillas would be a nice way to pass some dead time, too:) Or, use colored markers to make some truly unique Christmas cards!:P

Moot: what are 'pallet tongs'?

ATeam: "good" & "bad" are SUBJECTIVE - they cannot be proven by OBJECTIVE & VERIFIABLE means, even by the wisest among us.

RE: American Trucking Associations pushed HOS regs Chuck, that last item is one we have plenty of already - but thanks for offering...

Y'all know that Taco Bell is responsible for another nasty E coli outbreak, traced to the scallions (green onions) recently? Funny how this life changes your outlook: I used to hate cooking most of the time, as it came at the end of the workday, when I didn't want to do it - now, I'm making...

One day last week, I stopped at McDonald's to get a bag of ice, and while waiting for it, I noticed that the workers assembling the food weren't wearing gloves - glad I don't get food there! (I'm pretty sure they don't scoop ice with bare hands). Aren't food handlers required to wear gloves...

Hobo, you may be right, it was the food you ate that made you sick, but it could just as easily have been a virus - something airborne, when someone sneezed near you, or even lurking on a door handle. Viruses can survive for quite awhile on surfaces, which is why it's wise to wash your hands...

RE: Which company actually cares about good driver Linda Caffee said it very well, and I agree 100%.
