    That's not that scary. Okay, okay. You're right. It IS. But what's scarier still is some of those guys soon become trainers at some outfits.

    Siba, if you're still having employment problems, U.S.Express runs autoshift and states that students are welcome.

    When I started,I had to learn from my granfather on a 6+4,That was the worst learning experience to begin with.Not only do you have to learn to keep the truck in the correct line of travel,but you have 2 sticks to shift. When I got in a single stick,I was lost.It didn't take me long to get it figured out though. No matter what,just remember,life's a dance you learn as you go!!!

    C.R. England trainer gives a scare to two newbies
    A truck driving instructor for a Salt Lake City-based motor carrier recently gave new meaning to the phrase “crash course.”
    The Pittsburg Post Gazettereports that instructor Bruce Rushton had two students in his cab when he ran into a light post at a restaurant in Bedford Township, PA. Rushton is a driver trainer for C.R. England Inc.
    Making matters worse, police say Rushton then fled north on Interstate 99, but was stopped by police after a witness told them about the damaged light post.

    That's no surprise. Can you imagine being one of those students going on the joyride with this clown? Jesus.
