[QUOTE="SCV good to go sir., post: 1831653, member: 56200"] I think that's the most important thing for anything in life. The first time I failed cover, I just wasn't ready. They threw me at it without doing any Saturdays first just to see if I could pick it up. Having said that, it was quite the learning experience. The supervisor that trained me was easily the best driver in the hub and he set the standard for how to do the job. When my second chance came around, I had a peak and months of air driving under my belt. Yeah it sucked giving up my weekend to learn the route, but it comes down to how bad one wants it. These guys that keep failing, they're not willing to put in the extra work. If one can't sacrifice two days for the job, I can't see how one is going to handle working 11 hour days 5 days a week and all the other sacrifices. I also agree that a lot of the newer drivers have a bad attitude. It's going to suck once all you older drivers retire, I don't think I'll get along with the vast majority of the drivers after that. If the union isn't dead by then, I'm sure that will be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Sorry for the rant, needed to vent. [/QUOTE]
