Waiting on Pam trainer

Shock, Are you really writing a book???? If not I think you should........

 

Out of curiosity, your new trainer named Perry?

 

No, not really.
I wouldn't know where to begin.
And if I got started, I wouldn't know where to end.

 

Colts, after reading thru this thread, I think you may be wishing you stayed with that factory job. For one thing, being newly licensed, you should want all the driving time you can get in order to improve your skills.

Maybe you were used to an 8 to 5 job with coffee breaks at 10 & 2 and lunch at 12...well truckin's not like that. I'm sure you'll face a lot worse things in the future, than what this "trainer" put you thru and maybe your solution will be to just "walk away from it".

I think your lucky to get a 2nd chance with PAM, hope you make the best of it.

 

There's a simple solution here.

Start at the beginning, end at the ending, then edit for content and time length. The end.

 

But what subject should I write about? :smt102
Hmmmmmmm
How 'bout a screen play?
Or a Broadway musical?

 

A man (or maybe a woman) much smarter than me once said to write what you know.

You, Sir Shocky, know quite a little bit about (if I may use your words here) the big truck truckin' industry. I seem to recall your way of utilizing the many words in the English language as being quite entertaining.

So, as I already said...

 

Sometimes I can't believe the stuff you read. I might of told him if I wreck this truck it's your side first, right thru the windshield.

Did you threaten to knock the rest of his teeth out?
or did he say let me take them out first? some let them rot out of their skull...

Kidding around, Good Luck, Wish you the best in your career.

 

YeAH, I was told that too by a woman writer. She told me to get it down on paper, or SOMEwhere, first --- then go back to edit it later. That way the thought(s) isn't/aren't lost.
I've found that advice to be VERY beneficial.
(By the way, she wrote the book
Me And You & A Truck Named Blue
Which, as I understand can be found in truck stops, along with others she's written since. I have an autographed first edition.)
I'm proud to say I assisted with suggestions in her research before and while writing that book --- along with other truckers.

"SiR"? Have I been knighted?
"Quite a LITTLE bit"?
Ain't that an oxymoron?

YeS you may.

Thanx for noticing.
Words have meaning, ergo I try to use the proper words and the words that best fit whatever thoughts I'm trying to express. Ain't always easy, and a tad more time consuming, but if it doesn't make sense to me, or, if after rereading what I've written, I don't like what I've read --- it gets deleted.
It's probably a good thing that I don't use a typewriter --- otherwise my floor would be cluttered with reams of scrapped paper.
I'm the hardest person to please that I know.

Yes you have.
And please know that I appreciate each and everything that you've said. I don't always know how what I've written goes over with those who read it. It's only by and through folks like you who take the time to comment that I understand.

I try not to talk over the heads of the readers, or "at" them, but rather TO them. I credit our own Snazzy here at The Truckers' Report for that tid-bit of advice.
I'm always seeking ways to improve my communication skills, and I consider ALL comments --- pro & con --- in my efforts to do that.
I appreciate ALL the comments I receive.
YeS I do.

Who'da thunk that a high school drop-out turned Big truck truck driver would receive praise for their writing? I write partly for me, but mostly for y'all.
And I can't begin to tell y'all how much it pleases me that I'm, somehow, pleasing y'all along the way.
If that isn't a win/win situation --- by golly --- I don't know what is.

BTW, you've made my day, Scary.
Thanx, amigo!
