I taught myself how to spread a load, other tricks, and basically was shown nothing.
About a week later i was asked for my full name and address and to see my license. I had no idea a log book was needed, or anything else. I would watch drivers to learn everything about the job, asked a few questions on the radio. A few weeks later I was told to hook up the pup, and deliver a double load of lime rock about a 3 hour drive away. I figured out how to hook it up, how to dump it by jack knifing it, and more. Stopped by a commercial vehicle safety guy one day was how I discovered I needed a log book lol.
I did everything wrong, learning by making mistakes.
Never dressed like other drivers, and never went to driving school. It was 1987 in a northern BC town, different times than now. I'm still not a stereo typical truck driver. Grace of God kept me alive for the first few years, but I wouldn't change a thing.Last edited: Oct 23, 2018
