10 Commandments of Trucking

thought shalt always remember that you are on public display, act appropriately.

 

Never drive faster than your guardian angel or your talent can fly.

 

Stay away from the driver areas where drivers amass. All you get is venom when they talk. They love to spill their misery on others. The drivers with the best advise dont hang out their and they are easy to spot. They move with purpose.

 

Thou shalt not pee on the fuel island or thou shall face the wrath of Nana.

 

Yeah...do it in the truck......With the troopers knocking on the door.....

 

Thou shall be paid over $20 per hour for all work performed and over .50 per mile for all miles driven...

 

Jakebrake you are a dreamer. I was a counter employee for Greyhound for 20+ years and when I started some of their runs did pay 50cpm. Of course these runs were held by senior drivers. this was in the early 80's and back then in L.A. it took 5 years to hold a San Diego turnaround. That was consodered a crappy run.

 

When backing, if you are unsure... Get out and look....

 

What am I dreaming about? Sure as heck not Monday nights line-haul run that will meet the aforementioned criteria..

 

When in doubt,,, walk it out.

(get out and see if you'll fit down that alley, or if you have to go in ###-first to get to the dock.)
