[QUOTE="joeboodog, post: 1694547, member: 49981"] I have waded through all off these posts and for the most part this is not the time to assign blame. This is a time to educate ourselves on what we need to do to survive the upcoming months. The company gives lip service to staying hydrated. They provide ice and bottled water to us but they don't ride with to make sure we drink. As responsible adults we must take personal responsibility and drink plenty of water on and off the clock. In full disclosure, I am a big guy. I will drink a quart of water first thing in the morning. I pack four bottles of water and two bottles of sports drinks in my lunch. I will also carry a half gallon of ice water in a picnic jug. Even with all that water at my disposal, some days it seems that I sweat it out as fast as I put it in. We are all pressured for our performance. I don't know our fallen sister but I can guess she was like most of us older drivers, just trying to get through the rest of our time until we can retire. We have the experience but at times that is not enough. I find it sad that a couple of posters blaming her without knowing her circumstance. [/QUOTE]
