What would YOU teach a new to the business driver?

lol...He was probably on his way home to his wife and wanted to wash off all evidence on the Dirty Lot lizard he was with the prior night.....If your washing ur boys in a bathroom sink... Maybe shes not worth it?? I could NEVER even shake hands with one.. but thats another thread

 

Actually watching lot lizards work in southern CA the other day, it occurred to me they were going truck to truck... Do any of you have showers in your trucks?! Thinking about that made me throw up in my mouth a little. Dirty lizards, y'all can have em!!

 

To the new driver coming into this can be a huge culture shock. Especially when it comes time to use the facilities. Often 1 - 2 inch gaps in the 'walls' of the stalls, everyone walking in and out naturally likes to see you sitting there on your throne lol.

Oftentimes those toilet seats are filthy. I recommend before you go in to use them, grab a paper towel in your truck and fold it in half then spray half of that down really well with some kind of cleanser like windex or pinesol, something that will not burn your skin because you will be using this to wipe down the seat before you sit. Grab 2 or 3 baby wipes as well to carry up in there, in case you will not be getting a shower today, your 'area' will feel minty fresh. This also helps prevent hemorroids for some reason....I heard

 

Yes... do show some pride! There are many of us who are treated like crap because the few of us act, dress and do what they do.

 

Excellent advice! Thanks!!

 

Relax. I could name 20 complaints I have but that does nothing. Just relax.

 

Well stated.... Sometimes we forget the "little" things, yet they're the most important things in our life!

 

24/7 in three days. Freezer is stocked, hangover gone, and looking forward to sitting at the brake check area just above Barstow, and watch the sun go down. I don't do Cali anymore, their too picky. Live Free, Die Old.

 

that is exactly what my instructors say "speed is not your friend" and I agree 100%

 

If that said "speeding" I could agree more. There are situations where going too slow causes issues as well. (Roehlies, are you hearing this?) Admittedly, they are in adverse conditions, but nonetheless, "slow down" isn't always the best answer.
