how hireable is someone like this?

Today he said i dont carry my own weight (he means i go the speed limit and thats too slow for him). He was patting himself on the back about because i go "too slow" he has to carry my weight and speed the whole way to "catch up".

I tried so hard not to laugh. Dude is a legend in his own mind.

 

lol. I almost did my second day OTR though. #### near crapped my pants. Got the fear of God in me since that day.

 

Well what this dumb ### was doing is flying downhill during WINTER on I70 in Colorado. Lost control and flipped the teailer. Obviously, i dont know what else he expected to happen.

In my case dint remember the highway maybe you guys do i was traveling east i believe in kansas going to dodge city to pick up some chopped up cows of course. It was a very narrow two lane highway one on each side and no shoulder. A semi was coming in the opposite direction and my trainer (different one with central refrigerated) told me to go to the right of my lane to safely pass the trucker. Well i went slightly too far to the edge and the right side tires on 4th and 5th axle go on the edge and i felt it try to suck the entire truck and trailer into the ditch. I corrected myself and saved the truck thank God that trucker had passed and there were no other vehicles around. I learned a valuable lesson that day.

 

Dont get too prideful. Thats foolish in this industry. Every so often i do but i have a self-humbling mechanism built into my brain that kicks in when needed.
