    Again, I feel bad, there is another post on this forum, and It was from a young man that posted something, and there were so many replies, by myself also, that might have ran the New Driver off, I sure hope not. We sometimes get out of control, and Myself, do not realize my words might have offended a New Driver. This is not what I or any Veteran driver are out to do. New Drivers, PLEASE do not get upset. Being a New Driver, and seeing drivers with 10 - 40 plus years, and think we own the industry, is not true. We have been where you are, and by time only, will you accumulate years, and become very familiar with Trucking. I have been on many other Trucking websites, and will tell you personally, this is by far the one you will ALWAYS come back to. The INFO. here is the only place you can ask someone, and get the answer correctly, and fast. Bare with us when we make comments towards New Drivers, It is all in fun, and not personal. The Drivers on this forum are the best in the Industry, and Will Help Any New Driver with any questions. As for this Crusty Ol Driver, I am sorry for my unkindness. See ya on the board.

    Another great post Wargames, and very good advice as well. I was just reading another thread where a new driver was having trouble and some of the responses he was getting were awful. This site has a wealth of information and any new driver will benefit from it. I have my current job thanks to this site. I will not hold any ones hand but I will try my best to help any new driver out with whatever knowledge I may possess.
     
    Wargames Thanks this.

    I sometimes forget that I was a rookie too at one time. I wasn't born with a steering wheel in my hands. We all had to start somewhere.

    And if you dont even have thick enough skin to handle a little bit of criticism on the internet, maybe trucking isnt for you!

    I felt bad for the new driver, I had no Idea if he was kidding or very serious, but I took it as kidding. I have not seen him reply, in his post, so I take it, I was wrong. How can you tell sometimes if some are joking or very serious? The drivers on this board say things that are so darn funny, and sometimes serious. I have had so much fun reading from the drivers on this board, I wake up, come home with my wife, or anytime my wife is does not have the honey dooooo list, IM on here. Reading the post on here about trucking, makes my day. If Im not feeling good, sad, sick, or Happy as can be, I want to see who is posting and what everyone has too say. When many of the drivers here post funny stuff, It makes me feel great, Trucking has been my life, I would not trade it for anything. The Truckers on this board are from around the whole United States, and share the best stories I have ever read. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST.
