    Here is what I have learned from these forums. Please feel free to add to the list

    No matter what company you work for, it sucks. You should quit right now. How could you be so stupid to go to work for them?

    Never lease. If you do you are an idiot. Now matter how much money you say that you earn, you are lying.

    If a recruiters lips are moving, they are lying.

    There is no driver shortage. It is all lies perpetrated by truck companies and the CIA.

    You are being ripped off each week by your company. You should quit right now and find a better place. That place will suck too. how could you be so lame as to go there? Go to a terminal and drop the truck off and go home.

    OK, I am being facetious here but these forums are full of contrarians. You say blue and they say green, then someone says no, are you ####### blind? That is orange.......

    Please feel free to add....

    That about sums it up... LOL

    But not everyone is so negative.
    Unfortunately, some of the negative is true.

    My additions:

    You should be using an Atlas designed for Trucking instead of a GPS designed for Trucking.

    If you drive an Auto, you're lazy.

    If you drive an Aero, you ain't cool.

    It's just not like "the good old days".

    No one today would have survived the 70's.

    Truckers Good - Drivers Bad

    I could comment about CBs but I have one in my truck and actually like it... Although there is just as much moaning and groaning on it as there is here.


    Stay Safe,
    MD

    All of that negativity towards trucking sounds like someone I know who drove for six months. Has nothing to say about trucking unless it is negative. Funny thing though, he never lets his CDL expire.

    What company? Gotta face the fact their is a lot of companies in trucking not worth the time of day.

    Most leases are nothing but ego trips and most fleecers stroke their ego by misconstruing what they earn.

    True, Why would they need a recruiter if all their hires did not find out about the lies shortly after they were hired?

    True, except the CIA has nothing to do with it.

    Funny that has to be said here several times a week. It is usually because the first four things you tried to make fun of are in fact true.

    You should call the Federal Marshals when ever you disagree with someone of authority.
