Appreciation of elders

Yes I'm quite embarassed when I fly coast to coast first class for my several week vacations and I'm the only one under 30 in first class.

 

Seriously? Your kidding us.
First class you say. I knew I should have stayed out of this. First class.......And under 30. I cant argue with that.
I'll give you some friendly advice.....
Anybody can win a dick measuring contest if their the only one in the room.

 

The power of Aerodynamics at work. All the smart people with money and power realized back in the late 90's that brick trucks were incredibly foolish. It's time you dinosaurs figure out what the rest of us have already known for 20 years and stop glorifying these ugly turds over the far superior aerodynamic trucks.

 

You've been driving for 25 months now, correct? Sure glad that you have it all figured out already, kind of reminds me of someone...

 

You put that amazing engine in a Volvo? Yuck.

 

Non areo truck? Wasting my time as an independent hauling OD?
I'm doomed!!!!!!
I don't even know what my mpg is! I just fill it up when it's on "E"! Ahhhhhh!!!!
How will I ever make the payments on the Cal. vacation house??????
Oh, that's right I paid cash for that.....

 

Flying first class doesn't seem very "cost effective".

 

Should fly coach on standby. Best rates.

 

uhhh....wow. This really just happened didn't it?

 

We don't all measure our careers by time. Some of us who dare to do better measure it in progress. I've achieved in a fraction of the time more than most achieve in 30+ year careers. gone over 150k with grain trains in South Dakota. Ran OD in all directions all over North America. Covered 42 states and 3 western provinces with flats,steps and rgns. Got bored of that. Quit took a 2 month vacation and moved out to the mid west in my jeep middle of winter and found a bull hauling job with no experience and no contacts by knocking down doors cold. 6 months later I bought my own truck. 6 months after that got my own authority. Just locked down a new contract running back to CA every week to see family more and net another 60k a year.

So when you tell me you've been driving for XX years. All I gotta know is what have you been doing all that time? Most have been job hopping or getting ####ed by a carrier and I'm sorry, but I'm not impressed. Considering most have had 3X the time or more I expect 3X the progress or more.
