stinky, i had a hit when i was still a trainee. took a guy out east in a deisel goin about 65. still lookin for his other leg. we got one guy whos qualified 5 years and has 8 hits. got an old timer with something like 28 years on and never had a hit. yes, most guys on the property have one or more hits, i would say 90 percent. but about 20 percent of the roster is under 3 years. i was in the cab for 5 years. been a blue belly for another 5.
