[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 417744, member: 6408"] Listen, I just passed 30 yrs service/safe driving so think I can speak with a little authority. I don't mean to sound arrogant but I pretty much tell all our "green" supes and mngers that I will do whatever [B]I [/B]think is safe to get my bod home safe. If it means getting out two, three or four times before I even leave the yard to check something I am in doubt about, I do it! If it means getting a rag and some cleaner to wipe the reflective tape around and in back of every trailer before I take off with them throwing a hissy fit, I do it! If it means checking the chains, lites, cords after 100, 200 or more miles, I do it! If I've got the "Minnesota Quick Step" and I hafta stop unexpectedly many times with break already gone, I do it! A, many-yr, feeder driver, long retired, told me when I started, "You're the captain of this ship, you hafta do what you think is best". And I do! I don't need some computer-trained, top-gun, recitation expert with 0 years of practical experience telling me what I CAN'T do when I think I HAVE to. Sorry, but maybe I AM a little snobbish on this subject but I think I've earned it. [/QUOTE]
