New drivers arrogance

Hey,RERUN,Ol buddy,ol pal...I am wondering.,it is to late for you to teach me how to "drive" a big truck..(hopeless) BUT,it is not to late to teach me to be an instructor,is it?? Cmon,Man....

 

tuck your pant legs into your boots, keep them shiny and yell a lot....


MOVE IT, MOVE IT, MOVE IT...

​

 

Into the military.. (AGAIN)?? Thank Ye,Thank Ye,Thank ye........

 

Heck I can't say a thing. I was one of those know it all snotnoses that knew it all back in 1977. Didn't take me long to find out that I didn't know squat.

 

I think that's the case with many others perceive as 'know-it-alls'...

Even before I started I thought things would be a lot different, didn't take long for reality to hit me either...

Much is we didn't know what we didn't know until we knew it!

 

Sure you did. You said, without offering any exceptions, "Why is it that driver's who have decided to enter the trucking industry and just started driving - or worse yet - just started school, seem to believe they know everything there is about driving and the industry"

Feel free to edit your original comments if that is what you meant to say.

The statement was far from pointless, it was a pointed analogy. As a purported Wannabe, who may become a newbie, the OP read as a diatribe directed to the same class of driver that you wish to become. This is the same style of rhetoric one may hear from self-described "enlightened" caucasians who trash the race they belong to in order to somehow shed the self-guilt and loathing of perceived responsibility for what they see as the bad things all caucasians do. I'm actually a native indian, so no, I am not a self-loathing caucasian. Most self-loathing caucasians seem to live on reservations like San Francisco and Berkely.

As I stated before, if you wish to augment incomplete thoughts or explanations, feel free to edit such in your original post. It may seem reasonable to insist that a reader must pick through every post in a thread in order to put together the ever-evolving explanations of an author defending their original thesis, but it isn't reasonable. I've read the entire thread, but I was not replying to the entire thread, only to the OP. If one decides to backtrack on original posted comments, that is the best place to do so.

 

That is the way my community college instruction was based....practice the way that it needs to be done and wait to start again if you fail to do so. All of our practical tests were conducted this way. I could never understand the mindset of those who insisted that they were somehow an exception to the rules and continuosly banged their heads against the stone wall of doing things the right way. Those folks could never get the fact that specific steps, done in repetition, develop an almost habitual automatic response to doing the things necessary as a driver.

 

Good post,well said.

 

Well besides dealing with enforcement types,

I know that attitude/arrogance can make a Big ##### DIFFERENCE IN YOUR WRECKER fee.

The same service can cost $150 or $650, up to you !!!!

 

wow...and no wonder we cant agree...i could say a lot...but then i would just be disagreeing...lol..
