The training most get these days is terrible. And yes, many with bad driving habits in cars drive the trucks the same way.
But it's sure not just the rookies that drive stupid. I said something to a guy about his tailgating me. He got mad and said he had been driving for 30 years. Told him that just because someone does something for years doesn't mean that they were ever any good at it. Probably should have kept my mouth shut but it was on I 30 and there wasn't another vehicle within a quarter mile and he just stayed on my DOT bumper.

I’ve never seen anyone get a ticket for following too close unless they rear ended the vehicle in front of them .

When I get someone in a conversation that claims the experiance I like to ask them questions that they should know before even getting a regular license. It’s actually comical some of the answers they give but they most often don’t know the actual answer. -
I've been driving for awhile. I used to street race, you know, back in the fonzy days. I've had high performance cars and would take them out where there were lots of curves on the back roads.
Rode motorcycles for years and same thing, I know how to ride. But as soon as I'm behind the wheel everything changes. I'm totally the opposite and I know how to separate the two behaviors. I see trucks speeding through truck stops, taking curves as if they're in a sports cars. Trucks come up behind me and ride my ### before using the passing lane which was clear all along.

In this case, downright dangerous. -

The main reason you're being rejected from the hiring process is the three months experience. 9 out of 10 truckers will agree a new driver needs to exhibit one year of 'nose clean' driving experience before venturing out to look for other driving jobs. So in other words you have two strikes, little experience and a ticket already. Gonna have to take a second chance company and keep your nose clean for the next year.

Saw a guy get pulled over for doing that just a few months ago. Driving on a two lane road at night in iowa the guy in front of me was tailing real close to the guy in front of him. Then a guy from behind me guns past me and starts tailing the guy in front of me. I am thinking it is probably a cop so I slow down a bit and about 30 seconds later he turns on his lights and pulls the guy over.
