The minute you climb in, you start feeling excited. There’s nothing so exciting for me,
not even a jet plane. You get in and start up and off you go. And then you’ve got to pay attention
every minute. There’s always someone doing something crazy who’s likely to end up under your
wheels. I sometimes think it's a miracle if I can get all the way there with no accidents. You've
always got to be thinking ahead. That's hard when' you have to keep going for so many hours
alone. There’s a lot of people in this job who have stomach problems from the tension. They lose
their hearing, too, because of the noise. You've got to be tough on this job, you know."
