Definition of a "steering wheel holder"??

its drivers who are mad that just about anyone can do their job, they will argue that nobody can possibly do the job as good as them, they are dillusional. they also seem to focus on how everyone else dresses, to the amish we are all steering wheel holders lol

 

WOW!!! Every single response to the OP's question is SPOT ON! Not sure if I can enhance anyone's description...(I must only be a steering wheel holder)

Or as a friend likes to call them, "MEAT IN THE SEAT"

 

Well, I think you people may be a bit harsh, simply, a steering wheel holder, is someone who literally just drives the truck. Does little or no repair, or thought of what to do next. I think they are competent, but just drive the truck, and out comes the phone in any other situation. It's like in the manufacturing world, there are workers who when the shift is over, will finish the part they are working on, while others, hear the buzzer, and off they go. The steering wheel holder would be the latter.

 

Get in the seat, turn the key and go. Don't need to check the oil, water or do a pretrip, that's someone else's job. Discourteous, never give anyone a break, never lift a hand to help anyone but themselves and even that's limited. Don't last long on the job, unless they're in a union, then you can't get rid of them. Beat they're wife, kick they're dog, eat all they're kids candy, you get the picture.

 

I'm an old timer as well and you pretty much have the same opinion as myself, except I would say adequate or satisfactory rather than competent.
If you ever saw the video of the USA Truck dude trying to turn his truck around, he is an example of the ultimate steering wheel holder.
Warning, may be painful for some to watch.

 

Absolutely, all he had to do was back up 20' and he had all the room in the world to turn around. I hope his company got the video and got him off the road before he hurts someone.

 

Someone gave him a CDL and a job, he must be adequate or satisfactory to the standards set forth by the industry and governments, even if he is a moron.

 

And Gym shorts!
