[QUOTE="Hang - Man";4121111]What i found out from the post's on TTR - No driver that post's in the "Good/Bad" sections of this forum is a "Liar".
LOL --I know, i know- hear me out, I believe each drivers experience is exactly as it was or perceived by them.
Even better yet how many drivers have started with the "Good" and ended up posting the same company in the "Bad".
Heres a fine example, Theres a driver on YouTube that has been driving for a company that has a fifty/fifty good/bad reputation on this forum (Flat bed).
I started following this driver because when i first started watching his videos, my first impression was that he was socially awkward, naive, bookish type soon to be driver that wouldn't make it 4 weeks OTR.
Turns out he is now 5th best in his group of 40 drivers under his DM and i believe the upper 4 were either O/O or 10 year drivers (or something like that).
His gross or net average pay is $1185.00 a week (i forget which one -but will get back to you on that).
I have seen his pay sheet from the company as he posted it.
I dont want to name the company, driver, or you tube name because i dont want this driver to get in trouble for you-tubing although i suspect his company already knows.
Point is, i wouldn't have necessarily thought this rookie/newbie could have done so well this far at this company -go figure.
I have to quit being so cheap and pay for some good cable TV.LOL
Just realized i did a fine job of jacking this thread, sorry to the original poster although it sounds like he/she might have decided to move on from Trucking.[/QUOTE]

I used to get judged like that a lot too, in trucking school, at my first two OTR jobs. I was fresh out of the army, military cut, skinny, a little naive myself but not dumb or a pushover by any means...I still have somewhat of a baby face...Now that I am 36 i finally look 26, but 11 years ago, I could have passed for 16. I see guys my age today who could pass for 46 or 56.

Just like industry statistics about half of my CDL class flunked out or quit their 1 st job within 6 months, another 20% within the rest of the 1st year.

"Does your daddy know you're driving that big truck?" I used to get that a lot. Just because I didn't and to a certain extent still don't look like your traditional trucker. Well out of a class of 30 or so grads in 2003, I am one of I think 3 still out here doing it and making the best of it, No accidents, No Major tickets or moving violations in over 11 years now.

As far as hijacking the thread, someone else who shall remain nameless already beat you to it.

 

I have the distinction and honor of being first to reply to that one

 

By the way, something that is extremely funny that I'd like to point out. This thread, "Don't work for Lessors" started out to say that they are a "bad company". Thanks to a certain someone for changing that, lol.

 

Where do I sign, I've been looking for a company like that for over 11 friggn years!!!

 

hemorrhoid might be a better fitting term
