I enjoyed covering rural routes.
Long hours, lots of overtime, seat time of 6 hours a day.
Winter roads? You mean like snow? Never had those.Rural routes have their pros and cons. The biggest negative here is bad roads in the winter----all the time. That and if you've ever driven 25-30 miles of nothing but a washboard dusty roads ---that's no fun either. We had 2 routes that averaged 300+ miles a day ----a good share of it being on crap roads. Also the further from civilization you get the weirder the people are. We had one whole area whose inhabitants could have stared in those "The Hills Have Eyes" movies.
Just started my 27th year and my cover drivers still can't keep up.
Ok... So Davey runner gunner.Just started my 27th year and my cover drivers still can't keep up.
In the pro athlete world, athletes must earn their jobs every year and even every game.
that got me to thinking about our jobs. we are pretty well protected by the union. however , if we had to keep our jobs by merit alone, how many of us would still have jobs?
I bet half wouldn't. after 25 years I know I cant keep up with the younger drivers but I hope my experience would make up for it.
what if performance counted for everything?
WOULD YOU MAKE THE TEAM?
Ask Earl Campbell how that worked out for him.
Would you still say that athletes should earn less if you were a pro athlete?pro athletes are over paid and so are the guys who own the teams. stadiums are heavily subsidized by government. isnt the NFL a non profit or something lol.
athletes should earn much less, the owners should earn less, and the fans should pay less for tickets
I would be Craig Counsell. Have a mediocre career, win a few championships and reach the end un scathed.
