Truckers vs Steering Wheel Holders?

i did that All the time when i was a youngin&lodin w/Grampa~~~~inevitably one of his buddies would stepup on the runnin board and ask me did i make the west coast yet? Id just grin and tug the wheel harder and grab another gear~~~~Lmao

 

I wear a flourescent safety vest while driving, in case someone doesn't see the truck. Gonna get a hard hat next.

 

I resemble that remark. Company policy is to wear a safety vest anytime we're out of the truck. Kind of hard to enforce from 500 miles away, but I go to a lot of job sites where I need it. Sometimes it's just easier to leave it on and keep rolling.

 

Real truckers steer with their minds.

 

Let's not forget that wheel holders run under the speed limit in the middle lane in their governed company slug truck and don't pull up after fueling.

 

I would never call myself a professional truck driver, I will let someone else call me that if they chose to, I just do not believe in bragging, boasting, about myself as some do.


Of course me being an OldHasBeen I'm not out there driving trucks any longer. When out there I just did my job to the best of my ability & I'm very happy & thankful that I was never in a bad wreck with anyone getting killed. So I do not have to regret any of my driving days.

 

imma trailer artist, I create pretty footprints at various locations with my dazzling skills with doubles and singles. someone keeps paying for my art to come back daily.

no way aint nobody goin call me a truck driver. imma a artist and the circle thing infront of me is my brush.

 

I had one the other day after I parked at the fast food emporium, this girl pulls right into the spot right in front of my truck. When we were in line and she got done with her phone call, I asked her why she parked in that spot while all the other ones were open because I have to wait until she moves to get out, she had the dumbest look on her face, walked to the door and then back, said "I didn't see the truck ... sorry" How can you miss a 40 foot white and blue truck with its lights on and the tires are tall as your car?

Well you won't be a steering wheel holder until you get the attitude. You're in school now so you can't see what that means yet. YOU won't go to Mexico, and NYC isn't as bad as people make it out as. EOBRs won't be an issue, you may be better off with them right from the start.

As mentioned a steering wheel holder is someone that just wants the money, they treat it as a job and try to get through the day no matter what. They don't want to think, they are either told what to do or do anything they want.

He doesn't care about improving his skills, he wants to just get by. He seems to be the person who will complain about how the company is screwing him but won't offer himself a way out.
