    WordWeb works just as well....It is a free app....

    As for me....The people that I'll bust their chops for misspellings and improper grammar....are the same ones who claim to be the smartest ones in the room....
    Anyway...back to the OT.......

    I will apologize for that one. Every once in a while I get stupid and spout something off I shouldn't. :)

    Really?...Most newbees fall flat on their azzhats thinking that they're "All That" after the CDL Mills "Award" them with their licenses....


    Perhaps if the young people or the newbees listened to the older folks and the veteran drivers once in awhile....They might learn something to keep them out of trouble.....

    It's called "Relaying Experience"...

    You can listen and learn or ignore....and the result may be "Crash and burn".....

    now it's true i don't have and education and my spelling and grammar is not a good as a lot of you but i can say this it has never cost me a dime and by the way a lot of you educated drivers act i think id rather stay like am.
    as far as my post it was a meant to let new drivers know what can happen if there not careful if it hasn't happen to you then your lucky it does happen every day i cant count the times I've fed a driver that w as broke because he was fired from a job with no money and they all forget to pay you when you get fired nothing new about that either and it happens every day.

    i don't discourage new drivers i just tell it like it is i do not do truck driver story's just not my thing. but a new driver needs to no how it is not just some fairy tale like you professionsls tell and you wil never hear me bad mouth any driver period dont think i ever have. but regardless you all have a great day . southernpride just another newbie but i got my trucks wher is yours .

    I don't normally post, but I can't help but reply to this post. I'm glad to see you back, SP. You've been a lot of places, seen a lot of things, and done a lot of tasks, and as such, your words are more valuable than all the gold on Earth, and I thank you much for sharing them. It's not often that someone as experienced and knowledgable as you is willing to freely and openly share so much information and knowledge. Thank you, and I'm glad to see you back.

    And that there is the exact reason I don't post much. I don't have much, if anything useful to add to anything, so I'm just a lurking sponge; looking around, reading the thoughts of experienced drivers, soaking up as much as I can.

    And with that, I must say thank you to all the experienced drivers that post. Your knowledge and wisdom is priceless, and I appriciate you sharing them so openly and freely. Thanks to you, I fully understand that the industry isn't the greatest and does have its drawbacks. Thanks to you, also, I have an idea of what to expect when the time comes for me to turn the key, and how to deal with a different situations. Thank you.

    Sorry to go a little off-topic, but I just wanted to let those on here who I look up to know my thoughts and let them know that they are appriciated.

    Not that it matters a bean but you Sir just went up quite a bit in my opinion. Thank you for being a big enough man to say that. Not everyone is. :biggrin_25514::biggrin_25514::biggrin_25514:
