What does experienced driver mean?!

So if we can guess the substance in less than three tries, will you change your name to Under_the_Influence?

 

transam has 1100 trucks brings in 40 people each week
3 years ago they had 1100 trucks soooooooooooooo
40 people a week quit?
then how many left have even 6 months exp
when i was there any given day there was 6-9 abandoned trucks around the country
to be rescued apparently experience is hard to come by

our little 10 truck outfit can't keep 10 good drivers with 2 years experience
i told the boss one time if i owned the place i would fire so and so
he said he was an avg driver these days
avg has gone downhill or i am elite or he grades on a curve

5 of us run the same route weekly and mpg range from 5.4 to 7.1 for a year
driver incompetence is only explanation
these figures are on automatics that boss thought would cure driver stupidity


true experience requires more then time

 

It's English. The only difference between 'through' and 'trough' is one silent letter, but the two words don't sound anything alike. It's what makes English one of the most difficult languages to learn. And there's that 'gh' thing on the end of each. How does it become 'fff' anyway?

 

So the rookie has one MONTH of team driving experience and thinks he is experienced. Am I really reading that correctly? Wow.

 

I get an experience point for every chicken light and added piece of chrome.

 

What is with the Chicken light s and why are they called that? Look kinda Mexican to me

 

I'm gonna base my answer solely on self-selection: Those who post in the experienced driver sub-forum as experienced.

All I can tell you based on that, is that by the time you get to 2 years, you ####### know everything!!!!

 

We called'em "Chicken Lights" cause jealous company drivers (like me) would say the owner was scared of the dark.

In all seriousness, they are handy to have. Extra lights on the side help light up the zipper and fog line on those dark and rainy nights, and make it easier to maintain your lane. Plus, they look cool!

 

Yes and even though all those chicken lights were installed after-market, if one is blown out, it still gets the driver/company a ticket for defective lights.

To me, even though they do light up the truck, which "should be" plainly seen by all other motorists, I would not want to spend any of my hard earned money on such. It does not decrease the insurance premiums, and it can only lead to wiring/electrical issues in the future.

 

Where do you get that tidbit. FMCSA only deals with required lighting, not extra lights.
