A young buck - who has 1 more week of seniority than me, we went to the same driver school - rolled up to shuttle my air one night. Was showing him the new car and he was shocked "You don't have cradle! How do you run your route?!" I cracked up. This guy has a bid. "Area knowledge is a real thing, brother -- you should get some."I was shuttling another driver's air and took 30 off him. He has 5 or 6 years seniority. Told me he'd had the route for several months but still hadn't learned it because of mapnav. Even said he needed to drive the route on a weekend to get to know it better!!! I said, "How bout you just start paying attention instead of staring at the damn DIAD!" Unbelievable.</blockquote>
