Critical Event

Yet he is learning and merely needs a trainer whom will train him the right way of braking and turning. It is why we all get mega carrier miles at first. To learn how it is done with patience and positive attitudes

 

Not a big deal.

Now if you have two hard breaks on Friday my answer would be much differnt.

You've learned you need to look and think further ahead. You've learned that its better to be on the brakes harder, earlier than it is to stand on them in the last little bit. Remember to slow down early and be in 5th or lower by the time you enter the turn.

As for your TE having sand in his nether regions - if he lets any little thing slide on day 1, it is much harder to correct on day 3.

 

My Spouse has learned the quieter I am when SHE is driving the more dangerous our current situation has become. 6 feet of black ice under rainy skies risks a jacknife into oblivion taking the whole convey with us.

The Lord did not just sleep at the switch. I saved my tractor trailer after it got away from the spouse but lost the convoy I was front door of.

Even today I feel really bad. However that's ok. One of the biggest and most expensive screwups and wrecks all around and came through without a scratch as did my number two. I have a form of survivors guilt.

 

That's hogwash.

We all do critical events as you'd call them. Everyday.
Some of us have been driving years. Without issues.

And that looks like load wasn't secured.

 

No you don't do critical events every day.

Saying you do is like saying you blow a tire on a curb every day. You may hit a curb every day, but you are not hitting it hard enough to blow a tire.

80% of our drivers can go all year without a critical event. So they are not common things.

 

City traffic all day long. Every day. Is a critical event. No curbs needed.

 

"Critical event" and critical event are two different things. "Critical event" is an event that qualifies as a "critical event" for truck driving evaluation and monitoring purposes.

I could be wrong.

 

Every day you may have quick stops, strenuous brakes etc. You are NOT having critical events.

My example was that if a driver is driving in such a way that he has a critical event every day I guarantee he will be tea
