[QUOTE="Big Rigger, post: 4996902, member: 87168"] When "expect the unexpected" isn't forefront in your mind, especially after working in 90- 100° heat index weather all day and 180+ stops expected in 9 hrs, it's a recipe for disaster. Remember the "driver drill" when on a safety ride? We all hated it because it was a distraction and afterwards we went back to whatever repetitive habits we used while driving but the main idea that drill instilled was (for me) about awareness of surroundings. Having earbuds in use in both ears while driving is just one more variable to block out things going on and if you can't see a freaking yellow school bus parked up ahead and think "kids" then there's a mental disconnect and/or a poorly trained...and monitored... commercial driver. Once we descend into the Amazon and FDX level of professionalism and safety then we become just a high priced carrier. [/QUOTE]
