I have read the first post at least 20 time over the last couple of years. When ever i come home in a foul mood I find this post sit back and read it. Still makes me laugh and really improves my mood.

No kiddin'?
You remember that?
You've been around awhile then.
I think Billy was a stand-up guy by comin' back here to tell us a story we've heard a hundred times before, --- that the Sons-0-Chester adventure was just what we said it was, and still is, as far as I can tell, and judgin' by the number of repetitious complaints.
But you're right and I agree, that thread is a classic.
Billy said he was goin' back to The Big Apple to take up where he left off, --- drivin' an N.Y.C. taxi. Whatever he decided, I hope he's doin' well.
GrandmaDebi?
I'm not so sure she'll ever do well.
And Virgil remains my heerow.

Knowin' the truth is my ultimate goal.
Sometimes the truth is elusive, sometimes it's not obvious, and sometimes the truth is the complete opposite of what we were taught/told was true. That's when the ability to discern comes in handy.
I'm glad to know that you're searchin' deep, and into the archives. Y'all would be surprised how even the Tall Trucker Tales contain a lesson or two of some sort that you'll recognize if y'all happen to wind up in a similar real-life situation.
And, as an added bonus, ....... the threads can be downright entertaining.At first it's hard to see through the stories.
But after awhile it becomes easier to separate those with legitimate complaints from those comprised of bovine excrement.
I've been haunting Big truck truckin' related websites for about ten or twelve years now, all totaled. I've read thousands of posts containin' the good, the bad and the ugly, --- there have been sincere posters and trolls lookin' to instigate trouble, as bullies typically do for whatever reason(s).
They're fun to play with though, --- especially in a forum that moderates with a butter knife and would only step betwixt the combatants if thangs got waayyy outta control. Funny thang is, ....... it's usually the troll that goes bouncin'.
Couldn't handle the heat.
Ya reckon.
OOppps, .......... I have digressed, ............ my bad, .........
Please continue, ..........
Anymore, that's 'bout all y'all can do. Take the time you need to do what'cha need to do to get through the up-comin' adventure.
I know you'll use said time wisely.
At various times durin' trainin' you're gonna hear all about the importance of on time deliveries and pick ups.
I suggest y'all forget about arrivin' at shippers and/or receivers on time. Don't waste any time on tryin' to be on time.
If y'all plan on runnin' with the BiG Dawgs, set y'all's goal on arrivin'
early, instead.
YuP!
Ahead of schedule.
Pre-Appointment.
OH: Dark-thirty.
Un-Announced, ....... whichever or whatever.
What's the worst thang that could happen if y'all arrive early?
The dock hands won't load/unload your wagon 'till appointment time?
How would that affect y'all?
Who said?, "No gain,
No loss.
It's Break-Even".
Das right!
The original arrival time should still stand,
and might even be somewhat adjustable to
an earlier appointment.
Ya never know, --- 'till ya get thar, --- early.
On the bright side, ---
No matter what, ...................
The load is there.
Y'all won't wake up late and have to run hammer down for 200 miles, tryin' to make the appointment on time, .... at someplace tricky to find, ......
in heavy, unforgiving, BiG city traffic.
See whar I'm goin' with this?
Get some stressless, no worry sleep instead.
The original appointment still stands.
Not likely they'd bump y'all back for arrivin' early.
Look at it this way, arrive early, get loaded/unloaded early, get on the road with the load sooner, or be headed for the next pick up before the Big truck truck drivers who all arrived on time have been assigned a door to load/unload, --- then, when empty/loaded, they'll wait for the next dispatch along with all the other drivers of Big trucks who arrived on time.
Make it a point to get to know your dispatcher. Whatever y'all do, don't leave a bad taste in your travel agent's mouth. A good dispatcher is worth their weight in polished aluminum and can easily make or break even the well seasoned drivers.
When a dispatcher is on y'all's favor IOU list, don't be too quick to call that marker in. Better still to collect a few favors owed. Call 'em all paid in full for a dispatch to New England when the leaves are changin' color.
Magnificent!
Dispatchers crave Big truck truck drivers who can think. Who don't call dispatch for every little situation, who don't whine and moan 'bout dawg loads, but dispatchers sometimes expect that. When a driver holds their tongue, believe me, ..... they notice.
And appreciate.
They're there for the same reason y'all are. For the paycheck.
Make it easier and/or more profitable for 'em and see if the same happens to you. They want performance. It's not unheard of for a sharp rookie to out perform a more experienced driver.The quicker you can, and the sooner you do, the more y'all will get outta Big truck truckin'.
Of all the potential starter companies to choose from, I highly recommend that y'all Avoid the Sons-0-Chester completely. Pick one from the rest and hope for the best. And the best is easier to find when/if y'all are prepared for the ride. Too many newBees aren't properly prepared and that's a set-up for failure.
Do your homework, absorb as much information as you can whenever you can, from whomever you can, because you can, --- until you can't. The more you know the easier it is to spot an under-handed deal offered by some fly-by-night outfit.I would enjoy followin' you on your adventure.
Just keep in mind why you're there.
Don't let communicatin' with the outside world take important time away from your studies. First thangs first.
We'll still be here waitin' when you graduate.Some carriers are better than others when it comes to carein' 'bout their drivers. But still, even then, one rule high on a driver's list of thangs to remember not to forget is,
Cover Y'all's
Own Buttox
At ALL Times.
Don't assume another driver did ....................
Don't expect that another driver will.
The best way to assure somethin' is done and done right, is to do it yourself.
Everybody and anybody who'll listen, ...... and hear me.
Truth be knowed though, I ain't really aimin' my information to just ANYbody.
NopE!
I've set my sights on those who are a cut above the rest and continually strive to be the best.It means a lot to me that you took the time to tell me that. Thank you!
I don't know how I'm comin' across out thar unless someone tells me, one way or tuther.
To some folks, I'm ------->
mild-mannered.
To other folks, I'm ----->
a baaddd man.
Actually, I'm probably both. :smt112
I haven't read a lot of The Big T posts, ...... yet.
But I sure intend to.
I gotta feelin' 'bout you.
And it's all good.
I feel another success story in the makin'.
And I
L O V E
success stories.
It's twue!
It's twue!
The Big T Thanks this. -
