In their mind, they see themselves driving on a perfect day, on a perfect road, with the perfect load, in the perfect truck and perfect traffic conditions. Everything goes perfectly. You and I are old veterans, driving old trucks on old roads, and we are bitter because we struggle and aren't very smart.
I guess porn stars get similar conversation. Guy walks up holding his goobers in his hand thinking he can be a porn star just because he has a pickle. Never had a session go longer than 3 minutes in a private setting, but he thinks he can do better with a room full of people with lights and cameras 3 inches off Uranus.
Sure son, keep holding your pickle while talking.Fabulous Maximus, Rideandrepair, Gearjammin' Penguin and 4 others Thank this. -

Potential new start ups thinking they know how to do something is not unique to trucking.Fabulous Maximus, FlaSwampRat, Lepton1 and 3 others Thank this. -
A non plumber or non electrician KNOWS he can’t do that work because it’s a skilled trade requiring ~3yrs training. Not so with truck driving.
anyone with a driver’s license thinks driving a truck isn’t so hard and the sharks that prey upon these fools perpetuate the myth.
Truck drivers are stupid and they’re smart therefore they will be different. plus they get to sight see America In a big shiny Peterbilt and eat out every day. The picture of freedom on the Rand McNally Atlas.....”I can do that”.Last edited: Nov 6, 2019
