    and his trainer just lost his position........maybe or maybe not because of the OP. Depending if is story is true and accurate. He kinda lost his credibility with me when he called his trainer "stupid" and in the same sentence said his trainer stood up for him. Having said all that, your right, we all have bad days regardless if it's somebody else's fault or brought on by ourselves so if he needs to vent, so be it.

    Went the wrong way once and it was full of curves and at night. I called the Police and asked if they would guide me back out of it just 1 mile. but they were glad to help. no ticket no foul. they said that if was a nice break to their boring evening.

    Check out PGT Trucking. It's flatbed but they have been really good to me so far. I made over 700 my first week just training. Orientation is paid at 10 dollars a hour 10 hours a day for 3-4 days. Then 100 a day while with trainer. Ask for Travis Montgomery he's a really good guy. He made sure I was reimbursed for my travel up here even though I didn't bring a receipt. If you have any questions PM me.

    i'll tell you what 3 years ago when i bought my house i was working at lumber yard. the very next day after i signed the mortgage papers i got laid off. not one person even said a word to me as i walked out i wanted to rip the heads off of everyone and it was showing. i was furious, everyone was at fault, but whatever. we all get mad, we all need to take that time to just be angry when life throws you down. its the good ones that dont let it stop them and keep going no matter what. but recognizing you need time to be angry or sad or whatever the case is in life is very important

    sorry i'm rambling, i'm on some vicodin from a severly inflamed throat (i had mono this week and got a throat infection) and i just have so many thoughts rolling threw my head right now.

    Never a U-Turn? Yep, it is something to avoid and not make a habit of it. But come on, sometimes it is very practical when it can be done safely. And yes, the trainer is an idiot. Pure and simple.

    Yep, and again.... only when absolutely positively necessary and there is no other choice, and/or if you can manage to get the police to help/guide you and block traffic if it is needed.
