Dart has been buying new trailers, replacing the entire fleet. The latest batch are spring ride. This REALLY po'd me because when I was a teenager I broke my back and so I can't tolerate the banging from spring ride trailers. I was so beyond pi**ed that I wrote an email to the person in charge of trailers and let them have it. I explained about my back and why I can't pull those trailers. I let them have it good about how I didn't like loosing 8 years with the company and loose my truck 2 years into the contract so he could pocket some extra money. I especially didn't like the thought of looking for a job and starting over at 52 years old. Today the owner, Don Oren called me and explained about the money they saved with the spring trailers to which I not real nicely explained that that was money saved at the expense of the drivers. I explained that I was unique in that I came with back problems and because of that I wasn't able to tolerate the fore/aft slapping from the spring rides, but that all the drivers would suffer. I also told him I thought it would lead to more workers comp issues down the road. After listening to me he said he hadn't thought of it from that point of view and that he valued my opinions. He also said that he would like to buy me a new Bose seat, (yes the radio people) to try to see if that would make it ok for me to pull the spring trailers. This Bose seat is a $6,000.00 electronic seat with servo motors for the suspension that senses the truck movement and cancels it before it reaches the driver.
I thought I would get fired, instead I get a new seat. Lol.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
