    I am protecting the trucker. Someone has to. I listen to all this truck school BS. You have a start, that's about it. I am plied by Fosters Beer tonight. I can say what a real Trucker needs to be. Don't show up in grey sweat pants. An I phone in your ears makes Us look bad. We have enough bad, we don't need anymore. Complain to your company, NOT your customer. That's their job. Yours is to get a product there.
    Get out of the truck and look. Many tires have been killed by broken glass. Simple things you already know. I May consult and or teach if I can make the opportunity pay ME. I can make your drivers better, just not tonight.

    The greatest joy a person can give is laughter. I make light of a very hard job. If I have made you smile, I did my best. If not, I will try again. A person can drive, or they can't. Way it is.

    trucking companies/ dispatchers know who will or want do the illegal things. they will test u to see if you would do as they asked. if you stand firm on NO. i would listen to drivers talking about running illegal on paper to get the miles. i ran electronic and i had more miles than they did and i ran legal. if they don't respect you just remember they don't really care if you get caught doing something illegal. even though u doing what they asked u to do. never do conversations over phone all ways use ur qualecom. if that don't work. think about this ITS YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE. if you do it and get caught. get fired and the company will have u replaced the next day. but you will be home not being able to provide for your family. my dad told me that a CDL WITH/WITHOUT INDORCMENTS is a GOLDEN TICKET. you can go practically any where and get a job. you will never be without a job unless u do something stupid(illegal, tickets, etc.) follow you gut.
