How do you become a Pilot/Escort vehicle for oversized loads?

But since he's been hauling oversized since 1985, dont you think that he would know what he's talking about?

Well, this is going to be another one of those threads where some new person comes in and popping off and then go back to the admin to complain about how mean those evil heavyhaulers are. And he was the one that resurrected a thread to call out ol Oscar to 'get his facts straight.'

You think he will ever apologize to Oscar?

 

I assume we are talking about business liability, not auto. Required or not it would be foolish to operate without it.

 

I’m not worried about it. I generally don’t pay attention to the ignorant.

 

He seems to be MIA after straightening us out.

 

You all were supposed to be wowwed into submission when he started volunteering employment history.

 

Oh so that's where I screwed up.

 

Yep, like we've never talked to somebody that has been trucking since before the dinosaurs and still spouts #### that they have no clue about. Pretty sure most of those guys are lunch counter heros that I laugh at while quietly reading a book at dinner.

 

Most ############ get red faced and run away from people that are allergic to ########.

 

You lurkers and interested parties and wannabe lunch counter heroes, put the above quote in your notes...pop quiz at the next lunch counter encounter. If you hear a driver (that's even in question), in his opening statements, start volunteering employment history (this guy did it in his very first post), RED FLAG. Pick your feet up off the floor, because the crap is about to get deep.

Example: You're standing in line at the port, waiting to get checked in to load. Driver walks up. You say, "Good morning, driver." And this fool starts volunteering employment history. "Well, I've been driving for 42 years and I say good morning. You say, "Think it will rain?" He says, "In my 29 and a half years of heavyhaul at LandStar, I will have to say that I havent seen a prettier day than today.

All of that, from "Good morning" and the weather. Hold your nose, because it's about to get smelly. They've always been "heavy haul" and always been "Navy Seal." Always. And he will claim to have met and trained with Remo Williams. And he will have a guy hang on his every word. A lunch counter hero in training.

Question: How do I know if a person is FOS (full of schmitt)?

Simple. His story wont add up. Ask him his age. He will say something like 60.

 

So SIx, how how long is your driving career? Oh, and how old are you?

Seriously though. My favorite is all the ex-navy seals around. I'm sorry, I don't care what happened it your life, there is no way someone as disciplined as a seal, would every hit the 300lb mark...And that's only the outside appearance. The actual story tends to be worth listening to just for comedic effect.
