[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1056190, member: 42691"] DIADs are tough. The very first version--the real big ones--I had it on the dash instead of the slot, hit a bump in the road and that DIAD bounced off the dash, onto the steps, and it was like slow motion. The door was open and I was going about 35 MPH, and that DIAD just danced around the steps before it hopped out into traffic. When I first went driving, I was a wreck. This was when we did shipper numbers and package id's on duplicate paper. I got in such a hurry one time, I had one of those old, steel breakdown four-wheelers. I don't know how, but I left it in front of the package car while I was loading my truck. Well, so rushed was I, that I didn't see it when I took off. I thought hit something, like a car bumper, so I stopped and got out to check. Horrified, I saw that my steel four-wheeler was under my axle. I backed up and got out and checked the damage. My four wheeler was completely bent in half, V-Shaped. I tossed it in a garbage bin and called in and said someone stole it. If I thought about it much, I could probably think of a million stories where I effed up. Point is, you newbies will not do anything that hasn't been done many, many times before. But, it's a different company now, so you won't get away with too many mistakes like us grey beards did. [/QUOTE]
