McLeod - a new, all time low

I'm still waiting for the little whiner to show me the regulations saying driving on bad brakes is OK as long as the load is light enough


All the rest is pure bs. He blew the first call( to repair equipment) and everything after that fact is on him.



If he's real. His comments have an odor to them of warts

 

Hmmm....21,000kg x 2.2 = 46,200lbs. Never thought of that.

 

Not meaning to burst any bubbles here, but it took you all day to move 250-300 miles....in a 64 mph truck? I'm sorry but as a former PRIME driver in a 61 mph truck I could still push around 550 miles a day....

Secondly, I will not move if equipment is faulty so I have to agree with you there. But to call yourself old school because you won't move anything heavy?? You just literally slapped a whole bunch of veteran drivers in the face. Just because you may have SEEN a truck from the old school or knew a trucker who is/was old school does NOT mean YOU are old school.

This isn't just a job and far too many people behind the big wheel take it as such. It's a career, an attitude, a blessing and a curse...but most of all...it's a way of life and it's one that many like myself love and respect just below our country and God. I have been driving for 17+ years now and I don't DARE call myself OLD school. An outlaw I guess I could say safely....Old School is an honor that took the place of Super Trucker when that title got slapped in the face with people calling bad drivers Super Trucker. Take some time and think about this....This way of life is not an easy row to hoe....either you belong in it or you do not...there is no in between. I think maybe you are suffering some burn out or frustration due to lack of experience. Or maybe it's not quite as easy as you thought it would be. I don't know and personally do not care. But from what I've seen of your posts you seem to complain a LOT about this industry and the people in it. Maybe just readjust your attitude and outlook on some things and you may find yourself in a better disposition toward this great industry that backbones our society

 

um...Okay....my initial post was prior to seeing you waving this flag...I HATE the fact that the men/women who paved the way for this industry are insulted with this crap.

First things first...you cry.....A LOT

Secondly, your defenses only make you more vulnerable to your claim of being "old school"....

because it probably took you 10 years to get out of the 8th grade does NOT mean you're old school...that quite simply means you are a moron.

to LOOK at your brakes does not require putting your hand in ewy gewy stuff.....

and the foremost thing that makes you the "Trucker Dick" of the year.....YOU DON'T WEAR GLOVES! Have fun with explaining your story to a respectable company and getting hired. If it was your goal to not exactly be pick of the litter out of an orientation cycle....JOB WELL DONE!

 

Old School Super Trucker

 

There you go, at least you're honest enough to count yourself among the spineless.

Either the trailer was safe, or it wasn't. It can't be "a little bit safe." Sadly, like many others, you lack the backbone to do what is right. If the trailer was unsafe then the only thing you should have done is asked either which repair shop they want it to go to, or what is the other trailer you're going to hook up to.

You chose the coward's way out.
