experienced trucker question

Thanks bro. They are offering me a multi-stop dedicated into Canada. Good miles and good pay. I just left Melton after pulling flatbed for a year. I hear you. That last winter we had was no joke.

 

and what's wrong with talking to the hot dog roller mach??

don't eavesdrop on my private conversation. sheesh!

and no I don't have blue tooth in my ear either.

 

You have driving gloves, right.

 

That when companies say safety first, they mean safety first after the run is done and you have downtime to bring it to the shop.

 

Actually three things -

Don't get into this if you are desperate or without a job.

Don't think you can make big bucks as soon as you get your CDL.

There are no experts, if you hear of one - RUN!

 

I wish someone would have told me how hard it is to alternate night and days, I mean I did it in retail but I was in my teens and early 20s.

How much disrespect we receive from the community im general, but part of me can't blame them.

That I'd see a new fashion trend, well two, the Muslim with turbin, polo shirt, sleep pants and sandals and the Russians in jogging suits

That it is okay to drive on snow park in ice or whiteouts

 

Yeah luckily we are still free to wear whatever we want and choose our culture!

 

Expert here. Expert screw up. Backed down a 18% grade w/ a full tank of water. Water runs our of tank behind me which is ahead of me backing. Ground turns to grease truck tries to swap ends driver goes for a ride. Yep expert right here. I am awesome.

 

Thats good stuff there.Yeah,one day you're working your tail off living the dream and the next day day a wheel mysteriously flies off your truck and takes out a bicyclist! Two years involuntary manslaughter( you didnt check your lug nut torque with a torque wrench). Responding to the OP, I wish someone would have warned me about all the strict rules and regulations (added daily). Trucking didnt seem to be anything like the movie CONVOY.Back then it was like: " You want me to drive that truck where"?
