    You been in trucking very long? My father used to say the only substance on this earth harder then a diamond was a truckers head. I used to drive for a guy that said most truckers drive because they can't do much anything else. If you want to get an idea just how stupid some drivers can be go speak to the dispatchers and fleet managers around the various companies. My father was a driver so was a lot of my uncles. In my 57 years I have come to love and look out for drivers as much as I can. I also try to be a mentor to the new guys. However if you only knew just how many times I have been struck speechless by the dumb things I have seen and heard coming from drivers you would come to understand just how correct Joseph was.

    Todays lesson: Never step down to a fool's level because they'll beat you with experience.

    That's why he's only going to get an "ok" from me. I could easily talk about how every industry has dumbies etc. Etc. Etc. But why bother...... lol

    you know I never call ppl dumb stupid not too bright and things like that.I've been right where the new drivers are.but some of my posting is outspoken and ppl take that as I'm saying theyre stupid but that is nothing more then furthest from the truth.I just say it like it is.
