What stress?
You may have a point. Today's car washers aren't expected to clean every vehicle every night like we did 33 years ago. Now add to that our being a 30 car building in a northern climate where half our vehicles park outside, and the building floors are iced up, and you're fighting frozen trucks with a cold water hose and a brush.
Then park them 8" apart without sliding into something...
Starting to see the problem?

i just got week 1 of preloading over with and its been rough, felt like quitting after day 3 but I'm gonna grind thru it to become a truck driver. I've talked to some of the drivers and the youngest I've seen was 24, he just became a driver 1.5 years ago and been there since 19 which means it took him 3.5 years..am I really going to have to grind preload for 3.5 years?? I was told by Hr that I could be driver by 21 but after talking to the drivers, I feel like that was bullchit.
I've seen as little as one week on the preload then go driving, I've seen as long as 4 years, just depends.
