A helping hand

So back to only counting to 21?

 

yeah, but the younger generation don't know what a pay phone is, or black and white tv, or crystal AM radio....

and for the record, we have electricity and plumbing in my house....!!!!!!

 

My 14 yr. old son is trying to teach me, but he's become exasperated.

 

i have to start at -13

 

pay him more money you cheap prink....!!!!!!!!!

 

Two points before I start my reply.
1. I am now retired and can only say what I would do if still active.
2. I am not sure if you are talking about trucking or technology or a mixture of both.

I would always try to help a driver trying to get into a hole if they allowed me to do so. There are so many bullheaded drivers out there that I just asked once and let it go. As far as tech goes. It's almost impossible to know if someone is struggling unless they ask. I have helped drivers sitting at places like a fishhook reinstall an OS. I helped a guy once at the Atlanta Petro downgrade his new Vista laptop back to XP. I used my laptop and a USB stick to find drivers. To be honest though. Most of the 'old hands" are not as tech-savvy as a young guy. Every once in a while you can find one of us. To be 100% clear, I am not calling "old hands" ignorant or stupid. I am saying they were never exposed to this tech growing up and today their technical expertise is that power on button.

 

I just graduated mine about a year ago if you recall. My company provided me with a flip fone, but took it back when we went full ELD /Qualcomm. My wife and son bought me a dang Galaxy and I still get lost. Too many things on the screen I don't need.

 

I still have my 8 tracks!

 

so does Al Bundy and his Dodge...and a smoking HOT daughter.
