Either you can type really well, or your a reporter trolling for a story into the trucking industry. I wonder if your in a truck. Please don't get me wrong, I wonder with typing skills like that. I have been burned before.
I tell you what is real, you twist my words, I get burned. You get a story that is not true. Makes for publication. Makes Truckers Idiots, Bad Guys or worse. We are good people, just trying to make a living.DriveItUSA and janet quail Thank this. -
I am just here to make money to get my student loans ($50,000 worth) paid off, so I can then go on to law school.
Driving is something I am good at, and I have been around trucks all of my life because of my dad, who was a shop manager for a trucking equipment company that put dump beds, flat beds and sand spreaders on rigs. It's also an industry that is always in need of drivers, so when I couldn't find a job in my career field after 7 months of hard looking, I went and got my CDL and got on with a trucking company.
I plan to drive a few years OTR, then find something local so I can be home every day and go to law school at night to get my Jurisprudence Degree.
As for being in a truck, I'll post up a picture of my truck Tuesday evening. Currently I'm sitting in a hotel room while my trainer has a light outpatient surgical procedure today. We'll be back on the road Tuesday morning.
Tuesday we ran from Denver to Laramie, he drove to Laramie, then I drove the rest of the way to Salt Lake City. Stopped for the night, then I drove us to Reno, he took over and drove us to Sacramento where we made our first drop. I drove us back to Reno yesterday, and he dropped me off at the hotel.
I got my first paycheck today too, it was for the 6 days since orientation started a day into the pay period, so it was a day short of a full 7 days, but every penny was there and accounted for. They didn't jip me or short me in anyway.The Challenger, goblue and jomar68 Thank this. -
thats a downgrade going to lawschool....lol just kidding.
lmao typing and reporting. I was smart back in the 80's and was one of two boys in a classroom full of girls taking typing 101 and 102...yup mavis beacon or whatever..
I think just about everyone these days playing video games, texting, etc... should be quite fluent with a qwerty keyboard. If you have a college degree, writing should be fairly simple and fluid if you enjoy doing it.
keep up the good work and have fun out there. wide turns, use available space, goal.....lolDriveItUSA Thanks this. -
I've pulled Werner trailers before......
-
If the driver doesn't do his/her job, then maintenance can't fix the trailer the Driver didn't notify them about that needs fixing. and the company gets all the blame. No. it's the DRIVER!
99% of all the crying in the Bad Trucking Forum threads, is the failure of the Driver.
My trainer is a 2 million mile safe driver for 20 years. He's never had an accident, he's never had a DOT or safety violation or been put out of service. -
The Challenger and DriveItUSA Thank this.
