Nope. Not upset at all. Your age has not a lot to do with it. And you don't have to prove to me that you're old enough to "get some." Because, IMO, bragging about procreation is only somebody trying to prove someone else is willing to part their knees for them. Congratulations. It has no bearing on the discussion.

Age: I wish I knew as much now as I did when I was 23.

Training: Being around trucks and actually driving them are two different things. I wish I knew as much now at almost 5 years' experience as I did when I had 9 months.

O/O: Really? Or are you a LEASE operator for CRST? It's okay to admit that. I am a LEASE operator. For now. But did you buy your truck on the open market? Or get it from CRST? Don't lie because these guys around here have fairly sensitive BS-o-meters.

Stuff you "own" and have laying around the house: Only proof you have no idea how to save money. That old mantra of "He who has the most toys" is dying.

I like to encourage young fellers to succeed and I hope you do. But the last thing you want to do is arrogantly brag about being a trainer and O/O when you are running under the umbrella of a large company. Again, no shame in that. I do it myself and it does more than pay the bills. Swift has been good to me.

But I refuse to train. Because I like my equipment intact both aesthetically and mechanically. And I like my sanity.

no I am an o/o I was fortunate to have had a truck givin to me by my father, I paid him for it, ( not full market value ) but knowing what I wanted in life and out of this industry and to have all the years of experience in my ear really has prepared me for this, i dont have to train here, I can run solo or go to alot of different companies, I am putting my time in Because land star is where I wanna be, regardless of where i will end up, for my age I am very happy with where I am. As far as saving money when you have a family and kids to provide for I need to make sure I can take care of them, like I said I am comfortable and happy, and yes I am young, and yes I still have plenty to learn, but there is no need to knock someone for there accomplishments and like i have said clearly i am not in it for the money when it comes to training

And I wasnt bragging if you look at the original post, i commented on a trainer comment that there only in it for the money and that students are money makers for o/o trainers, and i was just saying that, that isnt always the case and that I personally take the time with my students PRIOR to taking a load to work on the basics. I dunno about you but i couldn't live with my self knowing i didnt do all i could and i or my student wreck and god for bid cause a causality on the road, I would never driver again

it gets into your lungs and stays there. So it seems to me that once this is brought out it can be proven reguardless if someone smoked or not. All this can be verified.

What was the name of the company on the site before CRST in Fontana?
