    Yea I knew you would come back with the, I drive roads unfit for trucks scenario, so lets go to the tape johnny. OK you said....


    So are you now saying that driving restricted routes is the real world for most drivers?. If you have to curb your trailer on a regular basis then the company you work for needs to re spec their equipment. But curbing your trailer on a regular basis is not a real world certainty for most truck drivers.

    Just say you misspoke maybe? right now you just sound like a Swift recruiter telling me they pay 50cent a mile with the back peddling.

    Check your attitude at the door. When you grow up and stop acting like a child, I'll respond to you. Also, hoping curbs on a regular basis =/= driving restricted routes is the real world for most drivers. Nice attempt at putting words in my mouth. Next time, respond to what I actually said instead of what you think I said.

    I understand the concept now. I finish school on July 20th and I suppose I should not wait till August 20th to attend orientation rather the 6th.

    Sorry, but I'm also going to have to refute the "hopping curbs as a regular occurrence" statement. Not trying to get into a heated argument over it, and I realize that I don't run your route, and don't know the intricacies of it. I'd just hate to see the end result of someone pulling a lowboy thinking that curb hopping is the norm.

    I don't need everyone on this forum to tell me I worded that wrong.

    I just wanted to offer a little commentary, and leave it at that. I'm not trying to start a flame war, or even bust your balls. Just a respectful disagreement with what you said, is all, whether it was a simple miscalculation of words or otherwise.
     
    Spamalot Thanks this.

    Hang in, Zoltan. It gets better, and the best is when you get out on your own, as you soon will. Cheers and Safe Trip.

    I now know why truckers have such potty mouths because boy is it easy to get frustrated with these things. I did not curse a great deal until I started this school now I want to curse and yell at that trailer
