Best advice given to you

"watch your trailer watch your trailer watch your trailer" lol........

even when i didn't need to driving straight down the road he was like a broken record in my ear

i'll hear those words every mile i drive for the rest of my driving career

outside of that:

lane choice is everything navigating metro areas

always check for places to park the last 5 miles or so into a shipper/receiver because they may not let you park on the property once you're done and you don't want to eat up your clock finding somewhere to park once you get out of there

always drive 6 to 8 cars ahead of you

don't change lanes unless absolutely necessary and check double check and then check again your mirrors just because there wasn't something there when you checked when you look again that car you didn't see tucked in behind your trailer will be squirting up the right side

own your lane....your responsibility is not to let merging traffic in, it's their responsibility to merge safely

don't hold up the faster trucks in the center lane and always know what and who is behind you before you jump out there and try to pass someone slower when you're only doing 63

always check the spot in the truckstop you want to park in to be sure you can get out of it when you're ready to leave lol that spot that's easy to get into and is stilll empty may be empty for a reason

and watch your trailer

 

"Remember....never panic. There's no mistake you can make that hasn't been made a million times before and won't be made even more times in the future."

 

Ain't talking to me, I'm a speed demon.... I can do 64.

Aside from that..... When laying over in Vegas and waking up in the morning always check first thing to see if you're wearing a wedding ring.

 

"always drink upstream from the heard"

 

Read the road signs.

 

The larger the sign, the larger the arrow and the more lights means the sharper the curve.

 

..after swerving into the breakdown lane a bit.. "look at the road, not the pretty clouds." I told myself that one. Genius!

 

Lot lizards charge more than they are worth!

No personal experience....you asked what we were told!!!!!!!






MASTERLOCK will almost guarantee a comeback with this one!

 

My Great Uncle who drove since he got home from WWII told me:
"You learn something everyday. The day you know everything and are convinced you've seen it all, quit. You're a hazard to everyone else that is still learning."
