How did your career progress at CN Brown Company:

I trained on a trailer for two weeks, then was put on the ten wheeler for awhile. I then drove trailer for nights and weekends, and the wheeler some. Then full-time on transport – some weeks 7 days a week. Always 6 days per week and many 12-14 hours shifts. I served 20+ years with the National Guard – serving on the weekends and training annually for 2 weeks.
