    Another thing....it could easily be argued with a list of violations like you have, that you DO NOT learn from your mistakes. I count a list of 10 violations in your list...c'mon buddy, can't you see that it's excessive? Your first year or two should be the best part of your record not the worst part...

    You know what's funny? This guy hung around to compile a resume like that with Swift and meanwhile, here I am with a perfect record and they rake me over the coals for silly ####. Not answering my preplans within 30 minutes, for instance -- well, gee, I can't read the thing while driving! :)

    Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if this were the guy who tore my entire front end of my truck off when I was sitting in a fuel island getting fuel at a Swift Terminal. :)

    Ahhh come on Burky. Surely you didn't get sucked into the new faster friendlier menus at these places.

    I still get asked if I want fries...at McDonalds. I never order off the menu..as posted LOL

    TA truckstop, I get "Do you want hashbrowns?" If I'm feeling my wheaties, my response is, "Did I order them?"

    Actually, my most frequent order at McD's is "Three McChicken Plain". Take them with no toppings, pull them off the bun and break them up and you can easily feed a small somewhat finicky dog. Much cheaper than ordering McNuggets when you have to feed a four legged co driver on the road.

    Isn't feeling your wheaties at the breakfast table playing with your food. Seems I remember being taught not to do that. Your mom must have skipped over that lesson with you!

    LOL!

    Some of these places at a truck stop have people that are not peoples persons. I was at a pilot in whiteland IN. In the mickey d's I ordered my coffee and food. I requested for here please. The lady (loosely I use this term) tosses it in a bag and slings it on the counter. I say excuse me could I get a tray that was for here. She turns her back to me and walks away. I say excuse me maam, can I get a tray please? She bends over and picks up something off the floor and says I heard you the first time. I said well; you did not reply to me and then you walked away. She said I was picking something up off the floor how could I? I said oh I am sorry I did not know you talked with your hands. Drivers behind me was busting out laughing. This woman was out right just plain rude! What ever happened to customer service? I am about sick of pilots and their staff of don't give a crap.

    They would not have a job if we did not go in there to fuel. I spend a lot on fuel every week. I don't want special treatment but I want to be treated like a decent human being. Pilot you are soon to be scratched off my list!:biggrin_25516:

    See, there's a silver lining to everything. You found a woman working at a combination Pilot Mc'd's that needs to be replaced, and our former Swiftie who started the thread needs a job somewhere in the economic chain at a level of responnsibility where he can comfortably fit in.

    We can fill the needs of both!!

    you people especially the guy whos been driving for a couple of months, your a joke. you have no room to talk. i kind of figured you would all be quick to judge. those of you who said keep trying to get another job thank you. and some of you misunderstood most of the citations. i dont see where you got 12. i could explain each individual one but its a waste off my time and its a waste of my time posting on here. and the guy talking about fries with that ,grow up dude how old are you?

    you people who get on the computer and make stupid witty comments, im glad it gives you satisfaction, saying that i dont respect the road you dont know me you dont know how i drive but just from looking at what i wrote makes me a bad driverthey are all different citationsin all difernet states . as for bad luck maybe as for i shouldnt drive anymore maybe i shouldnt never had a single ticket until i became a truck driver, that says something right there, i didnt have good training, and now im paying for my mistakes. but we'll see if i get another driving job.

    parking on an on ramp to tired to drive truck stop was full and was out of hours, was that not a safe decision, or should i of kept driving until i ran someone over? the seatbelt i pulled over to the side of the road pulled my seatbelt off to check my qualcomm. continued to drive forgot to put it back on was pulled over and cited.as for speeding in california i know i was wrong for that but the 50 in 45 i started at the top of the hill another truck merging from brake check moved over continued down hill to get back in lane as safe as possible passed highway patrol got in right lane slowed back down to speed limit and got back in the lane where it was alot safer instead of ridind someone elses ### down hill you know those ar just some examples.

    the chainlink fence was a small one it was a very tight space and i didnt have too much experience in those type of situations. as a matter of fact i was never taught how to back i learned on my own.trust me im no threat on the road, i dont just see the car in front of me i see everybody in that car.if you know where im getting at. but go ahead and just ignore and misunderstand everything that i wrote and say more things to discredit me because like i said you dont know me.
