I started with NAPA 25 years ago as a driver. My boss also had a small farm in which I mowed hay in the summer and fed it to the cattle in the winter. Since then I've moved up to the counter and now the general manager of a 60,000 square foot warehouse with a 4000 square foot retail area (which is a pain to keep up with). It's the largest NAPA in WV.
It's fun for the most part, it keeps the bills paid and fuel in the race car!

Night shift sucks. I work nights and hate it.During the day I complain to anyone that will listen about working nights.

I was on 3rd until about a month and a half ago...laid people off and canceled the third shift so I got stuck on 2nd.

Nights here too, I work for Fedex in Memphis as a sort sytems tech.

I dont mind 3rd to much, been doing it for almost 20 years so I'm kinda used to it.

I usally get home by 7am and every now & then I'm subject to be drinking a beer.

Sometimes I'll be sitting on the front porch and a neighbor will drive by who's headed into work - I smile, take a sip of my beer and wave at em - they just shake their head :shock:

COOL! If you guys would let me put a BBC in it, it wouldn't take near as long to get it down the road!! :lol:


I keep telling them that, but we would need 6 of them as each wheel is independitly powered.
