Maybe this is the wrong spot, maybe it's not but I couldn't think of a more fitting place.
Many of you oboarding and signing up to be truck drivers are younger guys and gals, so while you may lack k knowledge of the industry you can still be beneficial to some of the older hands. I've been waiting a day and a half for my truck to be ready since I finished all of my online classes, in that time I've ran into several drivers who have been in the game a long time. While these individuals have more reverse miles under their belt than some of us do driving forward, they are not always the most technically proficient. Remember if you see somebody struggling you can offer to help them, just like you might want help practicing out on a pad.

First rule if thumb, never trust anyone. Get out and look yourself., I've seen drivers intentionally give false info to get their own trucks hit. I don't know why, but they did

Perhaps I should have been more elaborate. What I am referring to is more the technology deficit many older individuals have, while those of us a bit younger grew up with it.Rideandrepair and Linte_Loco Thank this.
