    i knew 3 people that worked the line all under age of 20 working 10 hour shifts of the same thing everyday (installing the same bolt), and i would say education wasn't there strong suit.

    haha wow really? you've obviously never done the same thing everyday all day before. you start forgetting what if you tightened the bolt on this car or if was the last car, plus long hours and night shifts.
    Im sure they have quality control im just saying.

    One thing I haven't done is judge others for their work performance when I don't physically witness said performance.

    Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the Tacoma.

    Doing the same thing over and over gets very boring and eventually the mind starts to wonder. A possibility of burn-out comes resulting in not caring.

    assembly lines are built for speed not quality that's why Lambo and RollsR hand build cars. and when you've been at school all day the then go work a night shift and do that 4 or 5 days a week your performance is gonna drop.

    I feel its a blend of both. An assembly line isnt a guarantee of a lack of quality
