It doesn't mean he's extremely dangerous. It could mean Justlearning. And almost doesn't count. If it did, half the drivers on the road today would be out of a job

Seems it might have been more productive, not to mention a hell of a lot more professional to put the #### camera down, and give that rookie driver a bit of help. You were a rookie at one time yourself.
rodzilla Thanks this. -
First and foremost. He isn't set up right. The dock area is NOT that tight. And the truck is NOT in his way. He might as well have been trying to back around the block and hit the dock. Would have been just as easy....for him.
He is either improperly trained, or has never backed a truck....at all.
Had he been trying to back between 2 trucks. I could have seen why he was leaving his ### 100 feet away from the dock in his set up. -
Been out here 34 yrs. It isn't my job to help you! Don't wait till you have to back up to learn. Maybe while your sitting around doing nothing you could find a place to practice your backing. That is how you learn. And while your at it ,get your chains out and learn how to put them on. Do it in the fall and check your links. I am tired of drivers who don't have a clue thinking I will help put their chains on in a freaking snowstorm. You want to be a trucker, then do what it takes to learn the job and stop whining that no one will help.

I said sure. Then I walked around the truck (bedbugger) and seen his other 2 buddies, also wearing shorts.
....got in my truck and drove off.
This would have been 3 dumb ######s watching me chain their truck.
Wasn't gonna happen. -

Whether or not that driver SHOULD be there, for whatever reason he IS there. Perhaps he is having a ridiculously bad day, perhaps he lacks training, perhaps he is to sick to be driving, perhaps his mommy didn't love him enough when he was a suckling. Doesn't really matter. The fact is that he is where he is.
Seems to me that a driver with any compassion would give him a hand. Sure he needs to work on his backing. Like maybe right from the beginning nobody ever worked with him at all.
Maybe he is just a half wit. Or maybe, just maybe, he is somebody that with the right direction and encouragement, might make a good truck driver some day.
No, it isn't our job to teach another driver anything. But it sure as hell wouldn't HURT anything.rodzilla Thanks this. -
