Sorry Jim, no offence Im from the south, we were weren't hit as hard as you guys. I did taste unemployment in 81 be it 3 weeks. That served as my genesis! Having said that, its never been hard to find work as a truck driver where I live, although we lost a major employer in resent years .woolworths. It can strike anyone at anytime, we just perform to the best of our abilities with large doses of hope and prayer.
