Swift Flatbed Division... ?!

This IS the school, correct? There's no talk of sending you home, is there?

 

Good thing you haven't read the right turn thread. Your common sense trumps by the book oopishness.

 

What is it that hes trying to simulate by pulling the brakes on dry pavement???

 

Sounds like an idiot move to me.

 

Kinda what im thinkin too.

 

There's an old saying, those who can do those who can't teach. I would love to have a conversation with this instructor. I always thought of o became independently wealthy where I didn't need to drive for a living anymore I would give up my CDL then go to a couple of these driving schools, they must be a hoot.

 

Now THAT would be fun. @johndeere4020 , if you ever do this, let me know. Im going to the class as well.

Im showing up with a hat with the little propeller on top, suspenders and thick ### pop bottle type glasses. When the instructor asks me questions about the truck, im going to refer to it as "the 18 wheeler" instead of semi truck.

Only thing is though, i dont know if it would be more fun to get to tear the hell out of the equipment and treat it like im in the demo derby with out getting in trouble or watch the look on the teachers face when i school him on how to REALLY drive a truck. Bahahahaha. Prolly get the law called on us JD!!!

 

I imagine the people teaching at the schools to be the ones who couldn't cut it being a trainer at a mega carrier. Some of these guys get this 'messiah' thing in their minds. These are the ones that teach bad habits...like slowing down to 15 mph when the sign at the weigh station says MAINTAIN 40MPH. They park on the fuel island. They throw garbage out into the parking lots.

"How do you know, Six?"

Because it only happens in areas where the megas congregate. A few years back, I was running lots of loads across Kansas and Oklahoma, Nebraska and the Dakotas. Cattle haulers everywhere. Yes, the parkinglot smelled like arse at night, but would you believe that there was no trash on the ground the next morning?
