My father also told this to me a slightly different way, but same idea.

You can go around a corner too slow as many times as you want, but you only have one chance to go around the corner too fast.

 

Communicate, communicate, communicate.

There are no dumb questions.

Good luck!

but dont expect it in return!!!!! Running into that now with normal board dbl. send messages in, he'll do what I ask, but not tell me. THEN when I get frustrated about not hearing from him, I'll call and feel like I'm being bothersome.

 

Here's a piece of advice I've learned from my stepfather and grandfather, who have had a combined sixty years experience driving.

"The day you think you know everything about trucking, take that CDL out of your wallet, get a pair scissors, and cut it up. You no longer need it."

 

Find out if your dbl has ever driven a truck,or still lives at home with his mommy.It helps to have one that actually understands.
Know when to leave,I wasted waay too much time hoping things would take a turn for the better.
