The Work Is Only Part of the Story.
A long career isn't just a list of trucks, machines and jobs. It's also the people you meet, the decisions you make, the mistakes you remember and the things you wish somebody had told you sooner.
This page is organized for stories from the job, lessons learned, people along the way, and practical advice. New firsthand accounts will be added as individual articles, with photographs when available.
