    My Instructor had me drive down NM 47 to 304 to La Joya through every small New Mexico town thats major source of Revenue was traffic tickets. A local police car tailed me all the way west across the railroad track to where a side road follows the Rio Grande North. I wasn't worried because I had done my Pre-Inspection check before leaving. Stopped before all the stop signs. Drove 5 mph under the posted speed limit. Signalled my turns 50 ft before reaching the intersection, and updated my truckers log at a tire check. So neener-neener.

    Since the inspector was out to get you I guess we must consider you a very safe driver. I don't know, wait a minute. I think there are other drivers on this site that have been driving the same amount of time and never had so much as a warning issued. Maybe one of those drivers would care to commit how to drive and not accumulate so many infractions so you might take some pointers. They are not super truckers, as some of the people say, but merely drivers that are doing their jobs. Maybe there's something getting in your way like the cell phone or CB radio. I don't know. But what I do know is you're not fit to be in this industry and should look for dock work. Or start all over again and read nothing but the manuals for the laws and regulations to become a safe driver so you can start doing your job. As it stands now (and it's only my opinion) you are not even doing enough to be called a driver.

    Very little support but a whole lot of finger pointing and assumptions

    Why, because you think we should support an unsafe driver. Because that's what your record says. Should we say go ahead and if you wreck the truck or hit another vehicle we'll back you. I don't think so. The facts remain the same. Your attitude sucks and you feel someone owes you something. But it anit gonna be me.

    Lol, I didn't ask you for 1 and for 2, I don't think anyone owes me anything, I'm just looking for advice and telling you all like it is, you all can act like this has never happened to you one way or another but, we all know deep down you all are not perfect either so, if you don't have anything important or helpful to say don't comment and get over yourselves
