    [color=#000080ost_uid0]Sure, why not. It's not like this topic hasn't already been discussed 14 trillion times in the past 2 weeks, and that it sounds like a broken record, and that as a dead horse, it's been scattered all over the freakin' highway. And it's CERTAINLY not like anyone even CARES about this topic anymore. But, I digress...

    I LOVE my miles! I drive the whole two miles back and forth to work every day. Couldn't be happier. Don't want any extra miles and I won't even whine and cry about the pay! As a matter of fact, let me vote because we know the error percentage on these polls can't be any more than Plus or Minus 98.6%.



    Oh look! 33% of all drivers are COMPLETELY satisfied with their miles.[/colorost_uid0]

    [color=#000080ost_uid0]2 miles is pushing it, too, and I get to go home for lunch.

    Oh, look! 50% of the drivers in America are very satisfied with their miles. See how quickly the industry has improved? Just since we started talking about it, even! Man, are we good or what?[/colorost_uid0]

    [color=#000080ost_uid0]I think we can close this poll...the issue has been settled. 50% of all drivers are happy with their miles and every companies retention rate has now dropped to a 50% flat rate. Next![/colorost_uid0]

    [color=#0000FFost_uid0]NOW WAIT JUST A MINUTE!

    You might think that "dropping to 50% turnover" is a good thing! But I lose my job if our turnover rate goes over 40% for the year! Ouch! on the 50% turnover. Closest I have ever seen over here is 44% for a month!

    Actual figures: QTD - 35.48% YTD - 31.68%

    DANG!!![/colorost_uid0]

    [color=#000080ost_uid0]Actually, that was all-encompassing and it fit with the 50% number. Don't get your bloomers in a bundle.

    [quoteost_uid0="bluebeetle"][color=#000000ost_uid0]Gee, I want to become a truck driver if everybody is satisfied with their miles![/colorost_uid0][/quoteost_uid0]
    [color=#0000FFost_uid0]why would you want to do that?

    I'm satisfied with the mileage I get I'm not out here to impress anyone as to how many #### miles I can drive in a week or month. It gets old and does wear a driver out in a hurry. Or maybe I'm just getting too old for this ####.[/colorost_uid0]
    There's a sign post up ahead, your next stop is the Twilight Zone!!!!!!!!!

    It is good that Keen keeps you happy, which brings me to this: Aren't they ready to throw you off the truck?
    Remind me again, how long have you been with them??

    Trust me, I am going somewhere with this. Keen must have something to keep you with them as long as you have...</span>[/colorost_uid0]
