    Some people here are bitter though, there’s no denying that. Especially if they’ve been trucking for a long time getting screwed over and over again without investing their money wisely, yeah I’d be bitter too. No one wants to address some of the bitternerness here.

    It’s not what some of the responses were on here, it’s how they were said. Soon as I call em out on being bitter I get backlash because they know I’m right.

    Mr @Nyseto, I have a question. If you had an idea, and was bouncing the idea around a think tank, how would you want to hear the negative thoughts and feedback?

    See! My point exactly! A semi intelligent question...

    I can't decide about the person asking it, but it SOUNDS intelligent! :p

    I’d want to hear it objectively and I’d expect the same from my trainer. I’ve heard some trainers are complete dicks because again, they’re bitter, upset with their life situation, been trucking for so long with nothing to show for it, etc. there’s a plethora of reasons behind it.

    There’s a difference between saying there was an accident because someone watched a movie and just leaving it at that...and saying ohh I want to know your whereabouts so I can drive where you aren’t driving. First off I don’t know you like that and second, that’s kinda dramatic don’t you think?

    But was it OBJECTIVE?

    One more question, and I will probably leave you be forever...as far as trucking goes, do you want a job or do you want to be good at that job?

    I wouldn’t take a job without being good at it.

    I saw a trucker late one night outside St Louis had a movie on a laptop on his dash. I guess you could listen but imagine the liability if you did have an accident
