    Flapping your lip like that is childish. No we will not SHUT IT, you have a lot to learn. But Im glad your trucking now. One big screw-up you`ll be on here CRYING, I cant find a job, no one will hire me. Im going to make myself clear, All the Veteran Drivers that you refer to as Cry Babies, have put there time, blood, sweat, Many tears, Long Days, Long Nights, out for months at a time, Had to stay out, even when family was calling. These guys put there contributions to this industry. These drivers made this Industry. You have no right what so ever to say ANYTHING bad about these drivers. These guys have stories to tell, and you should sit down one day, and listen to some of these drivers. You need to apologize to these Veteran Drivers.

    I suspect the answer is no. He/she will never answer this question.

    This is the best post I've seen so far. You are so right. What a world this would be if we had more people like you in it. Thank you so much for your great inspiring message. I'm going to relax this weekend at a truck stop. Can't believe I spotted a health clinic amongst all these fast food joints. Just checked my blood pressure and it was 78 over 118. All this running and working out in my spare time is really keeping me healthy. I wish other drivers would do the same and start taking care of themselves because if they don't, CSA 2010 is coming to get cha. Thanks again for your wonderful message.

    You know what I've discovered? That it's great parking somewhere else, away from all the idling trucks. Somewhere out in the woods, where it's dark and there's peace & quiet. Just being in tuned w/ mother nature. Love the outdoors. Love it! Away from all this consumerism and in touch w/ mother nature.

    I did apoligize. I guess you didn't read the messages I wrote afterwards. I see your point.

    And this is one of the 10% I guess. Still no answer. I am sure you can find another thread to spread your negativity. There must be one you have not posted on yet. Look, I am not looking to get into a pissing match with you, just look at your posts all over this board. Negative 90% of the time. I have seen you be helpful so I know it is in you. Sometimes bad news is needed and very helpful, but you pretty much just trash companies and post links. I don't get it.

    90% of these negative posts are warranted.

    I can't expect you to learn that in 2 - 3 months.

    I was driving trucks (1967) before you were a teenager.

    If I have posted incorrect info, I'll change it.

    But almost all of it is fact.

    And to be honest with you, what difference does my record make to you.

    Peace offering.

    Take Care..............

    too much crap is handed to people in this country on a silver platter. our founding fathers and military did the hard work to make this country sovereign, so we could have ample opportunities to grow and be our best selves. what do the generations of the last say 100 years done? especially mine? act like the world owes them. this is what happens you're handed something, you dont fully appreciate the value of it, or at least most people. if you hate your job, then quit looking at it like its the end of the world. i've heard so many of my friends that are out of work go "I dont wanna do this, i dont wanna do that" its just a bridge! make the best of it, take it all in, because in 50 years you're gonna look back and all the BS you had to put up with are gonna be great stories and things you can reminisce on. at least i do already and im only 23. i think back to the lumber yard days, always getting the crap hand unloads like flooring, concrete, sheetrock etc. and no helper on my truck either. i hated it, i despised my dispatchers for constantly giving me crap loads like that just cuz i'm huge and can do it, but now i look back and laugh at it.

    anyway point is people just need to quit acting like such babies about life. if you hate yourself and your life change it. quit saying i cant do it, this is why blah blah. if you think you've had a hard life go ahead PM me i'll tell you some F-ED up stories.

    and to all the vets that despise trucking now, you shouldn't of started doing it way back then, and you probably should stop doing it now if you hate it. WORK IS WORK. its a paid headache. if it puts so much stress on you that you're miserable it is NOT worth it. this is a lesson i've already learned. no paycheck is worth my sanity, however i wont shoot myself in the foot, if i'm at a job i HATE, i keep my eyes peeled for something BETTER. better being the keyword and when it comes up i jump on it like a starving lion taking out a zebra or some crap in africa hahaha
