    1.) That would be a sidewalk sissy thread. Weak minded, weak willed, irresponsible for their own actions, powerless against the man/ Bonnie Tyler "hero" needing limp wristed spineless threads. If someone can't wipe their own arse because they are afraid, why should anyone else help?

    2.) The fearmongers threads are worthless too. "Hi, I want to be a trucker, but I heard that lot lizards are terrifying. Will they break in to my truck and eat me?" Or "automated trucks will replace all of us! Be afraid. Be VERY afraid!

    "Oh, there's a little on man scalemaster that has his house right across the street from the scale. He monitors the CB. If he hears someone wanting to avoid the scale, he will run out across the street and open the scale. Be afraid. Be VERY AFRAID!"

    3.) And the scum sucking slacker threads.

    "CREngland got me my CDL...if I quit them, can they take my CDL from me?" Scum. Pure scum. Will never amount to anything.

    "What is the best company to drive for?"
    The best company is the best company because it hires the best drivers. Are you the best driver? Nope. The best drivers never ask about the best companies, because the best drivers make 1.5-2x average wage at ANY company.

    "Should I go Van, flat or tanker? Help me decide."
    Only slackers need help making decisions. But since you have to ask, go with vans.

    " Hi! I am a fat, antisocial loser. I am thinking about becoming a trucker. I have absolutely no work history and the toughest thing I do every day is wipe my arse. I drove 390 miles to grandmas' for Christmas and enjoyed it. I think trucking would be good for me because I am such a fat loner."

    I haven't figured out why and how the recruiters and schools are drawing in such undesirable employees. Wait, I do know why...you don't have to pay them.

    4.) and of course, the village idiot, Stupid himself.

    hi loll my name is stupid I am 33 years ol i want to buy a truck to go to trucking school in make a millon dolas in 2 years can ne1 tell me how to do this loblolly

    I would try to help, but I have been told that it is politically incorrect to tell a sidewalk sissy that he is a candy yass and that Stupid Is stupid.

    Gonna buy this truck because it has a warranty.

    Little known secret... warranty does not keep you out of a shop.

    Nope not at all. The kingpins will be the second time this year my truck was in a shop. First time was when the bolts broke on the dog bone. Nothing else has been engine related and done on my time and my truck is 24 years old.

    Any thread that somebody mentions a DAC report. Good companies don't waste time on such trash, and good drivers usually aren't looking too desperately for a job. Much less at a company who bases their decisions off a third party blacklist

    My neighbor across the street smoked weed in his backyard while I was 800 miles away on vacation and now I've failed my pre employment drug test. Who will hire me?
