What important skills of truck driving did you learn after your first year of trucking?

None the come to mind. Except that 1 time I saw a UFO in NV. That was kinda cool.

 

i dont think an alien butt probe qualifies as a pro .

 

Personal experience?

 

maybe , shutup !

 

U win.

 

Lol thats not a win , i told those grey ######## there are easier ways to check my dental work.

 

They just wanted to make you didn't have any broken plumbing going on.

The 5th wheel set it and forget it, Generally I set it about in the middle between the drives, after a load or 2, checking the weights, it should not change the steer axle weight much if set in the correct place. I do not use the 5th wheel to balance load weights. I only want a slight amount of the load going on the steers, not much.
Stop worring about what the other drivers think about the speed your traveling, travel at a speed your comfortible with. Don't consentrate so much about floating gears, learn to shift the rest will take care it self.

 

If your significant other looks anything like what you have in your avatar -- then you clearly have all the skills you need!!!
