Obviously you weren't around in the smurf days. These truck we have are like living a dream compared to those rattle shakin gutless, rough ridin bucket of bolts. We have the best equipped most comfortable trucks in the LTL industry.
Is the eden system really that big of deal? Stop with only seeing the negative and look for a positive now and then. It makes the job much better!

I was around for the smurfs, and your right, they were terrible, I almost quit back then, but I see there's not much room to vent on this board without getting nailed for it. If only focus on whats good nothing ever gets fixed.

You can vent all you want on here about trucks, the company, other unnamed drivers, policy, etc. Just follow the rules and you'll have no problem. If you feel you have been wronged, send me a PM and I'll see what I can do. As far as I can see you have great Mods on this board. We get almost no complaints, so make sure it's not you.

What the hell is a smurf? That's right, I didn't do time on the left side of the map. Somebody fill the rest of us in. I drove LN , HX, MD , etc. That mean anything to you?
 
I mean the right side (east). lol. I shouldn't post when I'm tired. I tend to make mistakes and get a little mean.
 
It ain't blue but this is the "smurf" being referred to.

So why were they called smurfs?? I had the pleasure of driving them as well but never understood where the name came from. I was lucky enough to get R90x It had the little indent on the doghouse for your coffee cup. But the lip was only a quarter of an inch so your cup would go flying
