[QUOTE="canon, post: 165442, member: 8423"] [U]brainwashing antidote[/U]: I'd make it to work, then sheet most of it up as Emergency Condition. We get charged with an accident if the truck gets stuck. Sure I'll come in, but if we're going to operate like that, the sups can just sit at the hub recording everything as ECD and we'll keep the trucks and drivers safe.
