\n* We both really enjoy going to different auctions
\nand restoring things to bring back their original beauty* I don\u2019t look at it as looking over somebody\u2019s
\nshoulder, I\u2019m trying to help them reach their potential.* We\u2019re not trying to force anyone to conform to
\nany particular style, just show \u2018em a way to increase their scores.* When I first started there was no air ride, there
\nwas no air conditioning, there was no power steering. It was tuff, you knew you
\nhad worked all day.* It\u2019s not about what equipment you\u2019re driving
\nit\u2019s about your attitude.* I\u2019m not a \u201csteering wheel holder,\u201d I am a
\nprofessional driver.* Take pride in everything you do\u2026 whether it\u2019s
\nparking the truck for the night, backing into a dock, dealing with traffic
\nsituations, take pride and it\u2019ll show. And you\u2019ll succeed.
