Just because they say big trucks come here all the time doesn't mean crap.

Be Tolerant of those around you! The desire to express your frustration with some of the people we associate with is understandable, however if you are patient and kind, time will usually weed out the whiners and reward hard work. Especially in this economy!

When someone else is "helping" by watching when you are backing into a tight spot or blind siding, that is when you will hit stuff and they will say that you didn't or you were not that close!

Avoid OTR. Oh wait someone did tell me that. Well I got the experience and now I'm happy driving local.

Don't let dispatchers push you to run illegal. Running too hard will eventually catch up to you and when you get involved in an accident the company will disavow any knowledge that you were running hard, violating the HOS reg at your dispatchers request. In short you will be thrown under the bus and replaced.
WE ARE ALL REPLACEABLE. Toughest lesson I have ever had to learn.

Drivers may be replaceable now but wait another yr when drivers finally realize the CSA is fully implmented.More will be losing their licence and more companies will be real hart up for drivers.

The grass ain't greener on the other side of the fence..Get your experience, get on with a good company and stay there!..Don't get a reputation as a job hopper. (Actually, I received this advice and followed it..mostly)

Far as starter companies are concerned,the grass is never greener on the other side.At werner dispatchers get a list of rehires every month.
