That 80% of trucking is mechanical not driving!
From PTI to other things!
Schools do not have to teach about sliding anything except maybe how it works.
The trainer while training that does NOT have you under a truck everyday for the PTI and pointing things out and explaining them are:
#1 just in it for the money
#2 lazy as craploa
#3 have no clue about anything outside the cab either!
#4 should be at Mickey D's and not in a truck trying to teach someone when they don't know it either! That company policy and how to do the paperwork is BS! But that's what they do before the important stuff! But that's company policy, important things as to which macro to hit on the QC and not how to fix the weights!

What happened to the "old school" way of doing things?
Oh I know! They have college kids in the office who learned everything in the world about trucking at Ivy Legue Hall!

Wow, I'll straight up admit, since ive been driving tri-axles the past year, I cant remember squat about axle weighing a tractor trailer, but I can darn sure do a good pre-trip, and since I grease, adj. brakes, change tires, etc. I can do alot of my own small maintenance. I've got a good freind who drives OTR, went to trucking school with him and have known him all my life. He has the knowlege to check all of that, but is unwilling to touch anything, he just calls to his company, he claims you need an inspection lisc. to adj. brakes, I claim "whose going to catch me?".
