Do not work for knight transportation!!!

Could always be the Fork in the Road for one problem, and you are kidding yourself if you don't think it isn't dangerous. All you have to do is look up people killed and hurt on the job to see this is one dangerous job, and we don't even over-inflate the numbers like the police do. Most states count police officers who die from heart attacks and the like up to 5 years after retirement as a "line of duty" death. And other things, one that comes off the top of my head was a police officer who drowned on vacation as a line of duty death when he wasn't even in country. Trucking doesn't count people who die in the sleeper, die from heart attacks 5 years after driving a truck or drown while on vacation as a transportation death, but the raw numbers are that you have a 10x chance of dying on the job as a driver over a police officer.

 

Your right they fall in prey of recruiters who lie like hell, They brain wash these persons and only if you have experience you never would fall for this prank

Can you type out a complete thought of how your post has anything to do with what you quoted? You can sign a piece of paper that states you are the King of England, but that isn't going to stop that deer from running out in front of you, or that pick-up cutting you off. You truck could be dirty as a pigpen and still be completely legal. Your truck could be looking like a million dollars and be illegal. Please tell the rest of the class what your post had to do with the post you quoted.

 

i responded to the man who said the trucks are dirty and dangerous
i was responded to with a diatribe about heart attack rates for police officers
i stand by my statement
many people run millions of miles and nobody gets hurt
so be careful dont crash or have a stroke or something!

 

Good lord man, I'm going to have a stroke trying to figure out what you typed.

 

DUDE, just put your #### truck on high idle! It's better for the engine anyways! High idle = cruise control
