Observations:

Keep that CDL Mill turning. New drivers are a dime-a-dozen. I just hope they stay away from me.

 

I started training on weds, only several hours experience from trucking school, trainer said, you got it I'm going to sleep! Umm hey buddy, don't you think you should do the job of "train". He didnt believe in that, just sleep and cell phone! As soon as we delivered the load 2 days later in Florida I got out of the truck.

 

I can't agree with you guys more, I think these New drivers should not be running as teams with their trainer, just in my account we had 3 preventables including one who's trailer axle ended up in the hood of a car while turning. I think all New drivers should start as otr drivers and work their way down to dedicated once they master close quarters drive. And also be better paid to have some motivation to care about their job

 

The message over the Werner qualcomm lately has been "Lower CSA Scores, please make safe decisions." It seems that there are several drivers who are acting stupid Chalupa, I do hope the problem gets fixed. People really need to think about what they're doing, and learn to relax -- then they'll actually stop and report it if they have ran over a sign, etc.. The thing is usually even if you got fired for something like that, I would like to think that someone else could hire you. I guess it just depends on what type of behavior or accident it was, but that is one of the reasons why I got a CDL -- so I could always have some form of a job.

 

Its not just trucking, it's everywhere. People just do not care anymore. There is no integrity, responsibility, accountability, etc. People just do what they want, when they want, and how they want. And nobody is gonna tell or show them different.

 

Which is a serious problem. BUT with that said, it just makes us new guys with a work ethic, integrity, compassion, initiative, skills, and intelligence look that much better. I don't work for Werner but you get the idea.

If it was me and I was planning on getting out of the truck I would have driven a few hundred miles in the wrong direction before stopping .

 

You might look better but you get paid the same .

 

And your point is? I'm not going to be shamed into not being a professional simply because others aren't. And if you are that short sighted to not see the benefits of being a professional I guess our conversation stops right here.
