Drive safely and stay awake Nora. That is a difficult line of work. I've had too many driver's that weren't up to it...

Thanks everyone...it'll be a bit of an adjustment, since I haven't worked at all in three years. But it looks like I'll only be doing weekends, which I'm pretty sure I'll be able to manage.

This is work with one of those cab companies (like Renzenberger), right?

If your cab is well maintained, I see no reason that employees in your neck of the woods shouldn't be looking forward to weekends!

Congratulations, Nora, and good luck!

Congratulations Nora! I would kind of like a job like that when I grow up. It sounds like fun though it's probably serious buisness having to get the crews there in as little time as possible.
