Pilot Freight Carriers

...Some of the worst fanny chewings I got was for not spending the Big $...

Ah, that scam! It went right to the top. Usually, whoever delivered the career advice had a Division Manager beating on him, who had a Region VP beating on
the D/M, and so on. Just so that someone back at the Home Office had neat little figures that fit their own ideas. The truth of it being the controlling ideas were
hardly ever actually tested. A little good field work would have settled the matter...

The criticism of the sales guys for not putting enough dinners, ball tickets, traffic club outings, and endless on the expense reports? The logic fails. A reasonable
conclusion (to the fallacy) being: The carrier who always had a full trailer of booze at the terminal, for distribution to worthy sales prospects should, therefore,
have had all the freight in a given town?

Seems to me, from our running discussions, that we both know many of the colorful names from the Bad, Old Days, "...same old crowd..." gang.
