Why are Old Timers so crass and mean to us noobs ?
Is it so hard to get out in your underwear and nicely explain to us what I did wrong when I accidentally ripped the hood off of your $180,000 Peterbilt while you slept ?
We all have to learn !!!!Dave_in_AZ and IluvCATS Thank this. -

The same is true for what I've seen in my driving journey so far. Most never made it past the academy. They'd bomb drug tests, go out drinking and get caught, couldn't learn the clutch, couldn't pass the physical, couldn't read, got in fights or whatever. Those few of us that made it to the training truck, only about half of us made it to the end of that six weeks for different reasons. One guy's truck rolled and ended up with fractured bones. Got upset and left trucking. Few got deemed unsafe and were let go.
Been back for a few days for some R&R and I feel weird. Only been on the road for 6 weeks, but its had an effect so far. -

One time during a pre-trip I noticed the inspections were expired, I told the instructor, he got on the phone with the boss, no classes for a week after that.
Well, heck with it, I passed. Been driving for 10 years now. I don't think it'll matter anymore.
