10 Commandments of Trucking

I got one.

The three people you should never piss off as a truck driver.

1) Your dispatcher, unless you like sitting in the truckstop/yard rather than make money.

2) The DOT guy, unless you like sitting behind the scale house for the weekend.

3) And most importantly, the lady who brings the coffee. Because hot coffee burns HURT!

 

LOL what ever you do!

1) Dont point a gun at a trooper and demand money!!!

2) Dont tell the trooper he doesnt know what he is doing while he is giving you the inspection.

3) If your told to do a pee test. DO NOT go on like a old woman protesting about your dignity!!!! If they want it right then and there oblige them!

4) Dont try to tell the DOT fellow the joke "you know what makes a good DOT inspector? A trucker that ran off with the police officers wife"

5)

6)

7)

8)

9)

10)


*didnt know what else other than common sense. A good trucking school will teach you nearly all the things you need to know.

 

You must be an Excellant

B.S. er !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Know the difference between rules, lies, and gray areas (in the trucking industry).

 

Thou shalt not turn the fuel island into a streaking beacon.....

Thou shalt not park next to the scale....

Thous shalt not block me in in any way or form or I will have to confess to thou shalt not use winch bar on inconsiderate driver's head...

 

Thou shalt not expect detention pay....The god of shipping and receiving's time is more important than thou's....

Thou shall not drive a spread axle trailer and expect a larger turn around area...Thou shall back the trailer in a 20' radius like thine honorable 4-wheeler brethren.....

Thou shalt not whineth when forceth to tarp thine loads in high winds....Thou chose to tugeth thine Skateboard....now closeth thine mouth and make haste thine work...

Thou shalt driveth from L.A. to El Paso in less than 11 hours...because all of thine brethren comitteth thine act as well...

 

It would behoove you not to run with my material...

 

"So let it be written, so let it be done", sayeth disciples Pat and Wolf!

 

Know where you are going and how to get there.
