    Someone that's so serious about the job would find a way to make it work and get thru a couple weeks with someone they don't like. Suck it up, sister. It's not like you're gonna be roomies for life.

    Not necessarily directing that at the OP, but in this business you're gonna meet lots of people you won't like. They're everywhere. Dock hands, trailer spotters, security guards, other drivers, dispatchers, load planners, etc. If you're sensitive and take everything personally, you will make yourself a lot of unhappy moments driving a truck.

    Right! Great advice here. And if I may add, if you go into a place with a bad attitude or automatically dislike it or them, it's gonna suck. Go everywhere and greet everyone with respect and a smile. Being pleasant gets you a long way sometimes.

    It works for us. We prefer being left alone to do business as we please. What works for us is nobody's business but our own.

    I don't know,but this just sounds like a p.o. trainer looking for a fight.
    Listening to talk radio,then acting on it?
    He must stay p.o. if he drives the south much.
    As far as the smacking the head..Pull over,and set the brakes..
    Somebodies gonna get a a#$ whippin,and I would take mine to prove a point.
    Maybe my culture takes a leak on you while you sleep?That should be equivelant
    to a smack on the head,right?
    You did good OP,but I personally am done being politically correct.Im stomping
    toes,and smiling.
    If you get into a confrontation,just pull pants down,cry a little and say he tried to
    get your man booty when cops show up.
    Not sure,but I think rape trumps Taliban in court?

    Opus, you sound like a redneck philosopher. Exellent post, especially about the politically correct stuff. Now when I get the sense someone is being pc, I make sure that I'm not pc.
