    Ok man, it ain't a hammer, it's a precision adjustment device. Profanity improves it's effectiveness.

    It works well for adjusting those square pegs to fit into those round holes. :D

    That is a very funny statement.
    It seems you have no idea of some of the docks you will need to back in to running dry van.
    You will learn.

    It rather sounds like Luke telling Yoda, in the little hut, that he isn't afraid.
    Yoda replies... "You will be, you - will be..."

    Just wait until you get your first load delivering in a cave. Underground, tight turns and corners, and little room to move around in while you are backing. Trying to get out is just as bad.

    Geesh.....I was at a customer's today. Of course, they had a representative out there witnessing our unloading. I asked this guy: If you're nice to me. And you give me a quarter. I'll let you bang on the tanker with a hammer.
    Can you believe he actually laughed at me?!

    Oh.... and BTW: Found out today. I'm going to be driving a Volvo. :cool:

    I have this weird feeling I've ran into WP at a TA somewhere, just by the way he talks. :D

    i didn't go to any of the truck driver day cares' either. i went to the DMV test a couple weeks after getting the permit,i told the instructor i didn't use the clutch,but if he wants me to pretend i do for the test i will.

    he said nope,just drive it like normal.

    I'm sure you can still always hit up your CB if you find yourself in a pickle. My step grandpa has been driving forever. He had a story for me one time he bailed a guy out that got stuck near an intersection somewhere, and hit up the CB for assistance. He ended up driving over there and unstucking him.
