Hey guys, tell me am I crazy?

I worked in underground hard rock mines before and loved the job. I didn't like the BS of someone looking over my shoulder every day. The money is way better than you will make driving for someone else. 100 degrees bother you? I have worked in 135 degrees 12 hrs at a time. After awhile it didn't seem so hot. Only you know what you want.

 

Hey Logan,

You are CRAZY! (Happy now?)

OK, at this point you realize that you screwed up. Don't fret, we have all done it. Just keep your head down and get the job done until you are able to move on.

And as to the nervousness on a road test, most folks are. And most of the testers realize this and will cut you some slack. So don't psyche yourself out about that.

One other thought. That hard work will keep you in shape a whole lot better than sitting behind a steering wheel.

 

Just stick it out until they start hiring drivers again and go back! Simple!

Just because you didnt realize how much work it'd be, doesnt make you crazy.

I'd make sure you stick it out atleas 3 months at that job though, you dont want to look like too bad of a job hopper...

I suck on road tests too. I'm technically still in training at my current job but as my dispatcher puts it, theyll probably have me run with my trainer for a day or two and run short loads for the next week..lol. but man, i hate being in training. I hate having someone sitting there critiquing my driving. But i probably woulda rolled the truck over by now without a little training, lol. Little things like "ok definitely take this ramp at 20" and "count the dashes and take atleast 7 of them when you want to change lanes".....

 

I'm in total agreement with Big Don! (and for some reason that worries the hell out of me).

 

i feel ur pain but sae livee

 

Man you're crazy as a sack of nuts! Or loonier than Woody Wood Pecker! Feel better?

Get over the nerves when doing a driving test or if someone with a century of driving is sitting next to you! Just think of them as some naked gorgeous hottie sitting next to you and drive the truck!

As an ex driving instructor look at it as just another day in the seat! Don't worry when they write something on the clipboard as it's usually just a check mark in a box! Or it could be that they saw a sale sign in a window and is writing it down! Or the tag number of the idiot that did something stupid in front of you that you didn't see!

CHILL OUT! Relax, Make the air go in and make it go out! loosen the choke hold on the steering wheel and don't jam the gears!

DUDE! Just look Kewl sitting on that seat!

And look at it this way you still have a job right? And winter is coming soon and that can't be too bad according to the end of the world loonies! I enjoy shoveling all that global warming! So the temps should drop at least 20*!

Now I'll go ROFLMFAO!

Good Luck
Rollover

 

Man I hate road tests!!! You always feel like a newb right out of school, but like rollover said just breath man and it'll pass!!
