[QUOTE="Tiereffinthree, post: 3344644, member: 68318"] Point taken. I was not thinking of any of that at the time of my initial tirade. I know how :censored:ty those older trucks are/were. I think the disconnect here is I was listening to the wrong older drivers. While admitting that paper manifests, going out blind, etc was much harder then, they made it sound like BARELY 8 hour dispatches, meeting up at lunch for beers, napping and still bringing it in by 5. This is just a few individuals in the center I worked at; most guys there were well under 55 I'd say. Maybe it was the area back then. Maybe they were full of BS looking at the past thru rose colored lenses. Or they were so slow they got away with murder dispatch/production wise. I realize I have no clue what it was like. I came off hot headed and whiny. I was on the defensive cause I can truthfully say I was the ONLY guy my age (early 30s) who tried to be union active and didnt shy away from grievances, etc. I'm sure it sucks to still be grinding for this long, especially come winter. I meant it when I said you do have my respect, and apologies as well. I really was given a probably false impression that the job was cake "back in the day." Kudos. I don't know how ya do it. Respect. [/QUOTE]
