Maybe Mike and Erik should take her along on their shoots? Ed Ed [:)] I don't think Nora charges. So it is unfair to call her a cab driver. [B)] Jim- I don't think being called a cab driver is nearly as insulting as some things van drivers are called, of course that's up to Nora. I remember we had "Sideswipe Sally" and "Sleepy Sam" who used to trundle us around for Ratzenburger. Both earned their nicknames after one or more crashes. I remember one morning riding in the back of Sally's van and waking to the blast of a diesel horn next to me. I could easily have reached out the window and slapped that BIG rig on the fender. Sam was finally restricted to the yard van after his third wreck. Luckily nobody was killed or badly injured along the way...

I wasn't considering "cab driver" a bad title. I have heard them called "limos" and thought that was a little nicer. Of course I bet it would be nice to really ride in a limo to the engine.

And, yes, sleep can be a problem (one of our crews reported a driver that could "barely stay awake" recently). Now, pardon my ignorance, but how does one access the "photo of the day"?

That photo was taken the day we met up with Joe in Fostoria. Fun day! The job is going great...cab driver, van driver, taxi driver, I don't care (one guy kept calling me "nice lady"). I've already had my training, plus three trips on my own, and everyone has been really nice so far. I've been able to get plenty of sleep. I can see how it would wear me out if I were working full time, though. Weekends are enough for me! --Nora Reply Mookie Member sinceJune 2001 From: US 13,488 posts Posted by Mookie on Monday, March 22, 2004 8:33 AM Mookie still has green all over her with envy!
