[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 338301, member: 1664"] I had to laugh at this. It reminded me when I was a troubleshooter at a coal mine. A $80 million drag line was malfunctioning. I had a general idea of where to start the diagnosis and requested the blueprints. None could be found for that section. The head engineer over the entire mine (West Point grad) pulled me aside and said, " By the time you take it apart and find the problem you will know how to put it back together." I (with a ten man crew) took it apart and found the problem and put everything back to working order. The man hour cost I was dealing with was $1,000.00 a minute. Two days later the machine was running. If I would have had a blueprint, I could have had it up and running in one 12hr shift. So, when I came to UPS and was sent out blind, with no maps, as a rookie swing driver, I always thought about Capt. West's advice on problem solving. [/QUOTE]
