    Sorry they didnt have your sacred computers back then. That just shows a rookie mistake. Funny we were able to do things very well with out them. But I'm sure if you went back to the archives and looked on the micro film. At the Bordentown paper , or the police reports you would find these incidents.. But that might take to much time. If you want.. Go to the truck stop in Bordentown and take a nap with your windows open resting across the seats.

    and when one thinks they know all . Doesn't at all , but can't keep their ignorance to themselves ,and when all fails, try's to call others names or try's to belittle others. One might keep their uneducated thought to themselves, and learn from others. Confucius
    and that shows a rookie mistake.

    Maybe you could point out where I called anyone names. In return, I'd be glad to give a few pointers on grammar, composition and punctuation.

    uneducated indeed.

    If one was educated.. One wouldn't be a truck driver.. What we have the spelling police out now?
    I have seen over the years many smart people in trucking.. That stopped about 20 years ago.. They got tired of most of the up and coming. Those that try to belittle, don't have anything to say of importance.
    and when one makes a quote of somebody.. They put down the whole quote.
    That ignore button works so well. With your perfect little life.. You must be a CREngland driver

    I've tried arguing with this guy before. Use smaller words.
    Just take it easy though, the devs get pissy once they find these arguments, lol.

    10-4. So far Ive been accused of calling names, being the spelling police, and not including an entire quote.

    No names. Check

    I offered grammar, punctuation, and composition help... none of which are spelling.

    The only partial quote was 2 sentences from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I think it would be frowned upon if I quoted the entire book.

    When you try to pull into a Texas Pilot, and FIVE drivers rush out to move their trucks out of your way,,,, you might be a rookie.

    When you don't know that the turn signal doesn't return to center after turning the wheel like in a 4 wheeler,,,, you might be a rookie.

    If you forget which line is red and which line is blue,,,, you might be a rookie.

    If your idea of a tire inspection is to make sure they are black and round,,,, you might be a rookie.

    If you think a Prostar is an "old" truck,,,, you might be a rookie.
