[QUOTE="brownguyinbrowns, post: 191914, member: 9021"] I agree with steelheader stay calm don't get frustrated,not staying calm will cause you to not do your methods which may cause an injury or accident. If your husband has been a preloader for 12 yrs. then I'm guessing he should have a good co-worker relationship with other drivers who would be willing to help him out. So get their cell #'s and call them with questions. I too recently went driving after 11yrs and have been helped out of jams by my fellow drivers/friends not only when i went full time but when i utility drove for 2 1/2 yrs. But do not forget to return the favor back to them when they need help with some stops, because the only one that is usually going to help you is another driver. When I went ft I was put into the only area in our center that I had not drove utility in so I was totally unfamiliar with the area.
