Yea I remember my orientation at USA Truck in 98! There were about 100 people there in that dirty cramped loud place they called, well I really don't remember what they called it but it was where all the people in orientation stayed! It was nasty to say the least! Couldn't get a decent nights sleep because of the noise always going on when orientation wasn't going on and seemed like the later into the night it got the louder they got in that lobby where the TV was! Funny how I never thought about that until now! I may be developing post traumatic syndrome now!......
Funny how I really never thought about it much then! I just kind of shook my head and dealt with it but it’s true! Now looking back I more than likely would have got in my vehicle and drove away if it were like that! BTW JBH has sent me some kind of package with the orientation information in it! I guess I’m gona have to call em back and tell em to listen to what I’m saying……….. I’m not going to your orientation! Maybe I'll tell him to log on to thank his JBH buddy and all you guys for that!

 

Tip you're killin me dude! LMAO! That's pretty good! You know today things are so much different than they were when I first started driving legally in 98! I have so much more junk that helps me that I didn't have when I was driving for USA Truck! I was bussed there on a Greyhound and I've always tried to do what I said I was going to do and I did up to the point of quitting them! I didn't have a cell phone so the only method of communication for me was the qualcom. Since then I've turned into a real geek but one who can play a mean version of... well just about anything that's rock & roll. Anyway with the things I've had now for several years that I didn't have in 98 I would have another driving job before I even left the orientation! I wouldn't want to go with out those things that make it so much easier now! I love my GPS! It's the greatest thing ever! I keep my drivers atlas only for a backup incase the GPS goes out but it hasn’t happened for the few years that I’ve been using them. And the cell phone that I never leave home with out! My laptop is a big help too as far as keeping records and such! I always make up to date copies on a disk just in case!

 

Well MACK I'm sorry you feel that way! This is my opinion..................along with some facts..........

1. I KNOW you're full of **** because I can read a map very good and rarely need to use a compass!
2. Usually drivers, er uh people who talk out of their butt like that are among those annoying loud mouth drivers/people trying to belittle others because of their own inadequacies and idiocies which is a pretty sad thing because you usually realize your inadequacies which make you feel stupid or small in some way but you never realize your idiocy because it relates to your ego which is making you look at yourself too much so you never realize the fact that everyone has some kind of inadequacy because your ego is busy fighting with the fact that you don't know something that someone else does which in turn causes you to start making up negative remarks to people in order to make yourself feel like you're just as good as everyone else which brings in the idiocy! The definition of idiot is "Void of understanding." If you understood what made you belittle people you'd stop doing it because you'd understand that your ego gets in your way of realizing that you're no different or at least in most cases because there are some out there who are, well as they say, "special" which is fine because they have their place too which actually makes them no less than anyone else.
3.
I like GPS because I like technology AND I know how to use it like I know how to use most new technology! I also build my own computers, setup my own home automation system, video surveillance & security systems, multi-track recording, etc. I won't get too much into that because of your insecurities and I don't want to sound like I'm bragging or anything. I'm only self taught and still learning.
4. More than likely most technology is beyond your grasp as it is with a lot of people. So what? But for you, well it takes us back to #2 you have to belittle anyone who is talking about something you can't understand because it makes you feel inferior so you start with your retribution which shows your idiocy and your insecurities!
That's why it's called an insecurity problem!
But there is hope! You can change that and you wouldn't believe how much better you'd feel about yourself and how much better your outward appearance would be. Hell your total look on life in general would be better! Although you do have to be a humble person to start with but all you need to do is start thinking that you're not better than anyone else but you're not any less either!

Remember ignorance just hasn't been taught yet so if you're ignorant about something but you're of at least average intelligence you can learn about it and then not be ignorant in that subject. Idiocy is ignorance that can't be taught usually because the ego and stubbornness won't allow a person to learn because they're too busy thinking up reasons in their own mind how they're just as good as others. So as long as you're of average intelligence and you can humble yourself you can escape that insecurity problem!
