Everyone I know from my class has quit their company already

Interesting, I was considering them also. I really think it is what you make of it, but there are exceptions that also.

 

True dat! The jobs are there you just have to look for 'em!

 

Wow. Ten whole months qualify you to tell people to quit. Harsh, without the proper background to judge why some people stay in situations they dislike.

Did it ever occur to you that some people are better holding a job than getting one?

Lots of folks gravitate to the driving jobs, as it's a skill most adults posess. There are issues with all driving jobs that are qualifiers for whom can do them and who will find it intolerable.

Any one of us here on TTR can be the latest of the disappeared. One wreck, one divorce threat, sick child or parent would have any OTR driver flipping burgers in order to tend to family. Maybe some don't care to say goodbye.

You seem a smart enough fellow, abet somewhat naive. Being ugly and telling drivers to quit without knowledge of their personal situations doesn't make you seem more "seasoned" or experienced. It just makes you sound shallow, which based on your posts is not your intention.

 

Instructions on how not to be accountable. A victim of those mean old equipment owners who expect their property not to be torn up. Blame it on someone else! Brilliant!

 

I disagree most people adults possess the skills to be truck drivers . That's why many require several attempts to obtain their CDL , many fail the road test at orientation , and many can't park in truckstops after several months on the road .

 

Watch it....you're beginning to sound like me! Dangerous for you, sir!

 

Everyone in my class wants to go out for weeks at a time. Besides one guy that is there for a refresher, and can't make up his mind if he wants to go OTR, or local. I agree with you, and I as well have done tons of research. Atleast we won't be blindsided when it is job time.

 

What you call ######## and whining another may call venting and stress relief. Each person handles adversity in their own way. Here is a thought, rather than telling people they should quit, maybe you should just walk out of ear shot and then you won't have to hear it..
