    That's the kind of guys I had when I learned to drive truck. Had 4 instructors for 8 or 10 students. 2 worked the yard teaching backing-alley dock, parallel, serpentine etc and 2 took us out on the highways..They really made you concentrate on your visuals. Now they have "trainers, most of who don't even have 4 seasons driving

    Just because you’re the Go-To Guy doesn’t mean you’re the often walked upon nice guy. Be the guy that can pull anything, go anywhere, deal with any difficulties…but they have to pay you more. They will absolutely LOATHE you for it.

    Like the working girls say, “Good service isn’t cheap and cheap service isn’t good.”

    He didn’t know he’s not supposed to run a truck out of his lane because a car was trying to merge?

    I’ll give 5 to 1 odds this guy don’t make a year.
