    Jerry, you obviously are taking this testing and evaluation program much too seriously. You need to lighten up a bit and enjoy this job more....LOL

    Comeon 'Cheeseball'...admit it..

    At the of every shift you get out a new/clean shop rag and wipe everything down as you get out of the seat. You even wipe the fingerprints off the door latches as you exit the cab! You meticulously wipe down the handrails as you step off the thing! You then walk about 20 paces...turn around...and grin like a kid in a candy store ! LMAO !

    I know I did when I was driving truck and got my new Peterbilt !! :)

    Surprise! That must be difficult for rails to have to experience a brilliant flash out of nowhere (in the middle of nowhere), and lose all of your ability to see for a few moments.
    The result is quite striking, however.
