[QUOTE="abbottfarms, post: 559621, member: 148"] Back a few years ago, I hired a kid that was 21 years old. Put him in my oldest truck, within 2 weeks he had it all waxed up, polished better then it was when it brand new. He was a good driver, limited experience, never hauled 100,000 lbs so I left him hauling chips for about 5 months then threw him on round wood. He did great, easy on the truck and a very hard worker. Needless to say within 8 months he was in a newer truck that I purchased and he is one of the few guys I kept when I downsized last spring. He's now 24 and I'd hate to loose him, but I took a chance on him because I felt bad for him. He was 21, married 2 years, baby on the way, and the company he had worked for for 3 years laid him off due to lack of work. He was a concrete carpenter IIRC. Was pretty nervous the first few weeks, but I am really glad I took that chance. Cost me about $1400 more a year to insure him, now with 3.5 years of hauling 100,000 lbs my insurance is back to normal. [/QUOTE]
