    this aint aimed at everyone , but by god, if the friggin shoe fits wear it..... I am seeing so many of these young driver and watching them the can't drive let alone back a trailer into a dock or a parking space, most don't even know what a 5&4 or double nickles is..... They would not have lasted 5 mins in the old days and have the actually nerve to tell us old guys who have been there, done that, and have 5 dressers full of the t shirts to prove it . How things are...most of them would not make a pimple on a old drivers as- for that matter..... Watched some kid the other nite take 45 mins and over 30 pullups to back into a door with 3 empty spaces on each side of the door and then he almost took the right fender off the kenworth parked next to me.... The other half of these knot heads babble in arabic and can't even speak english.....i got nothing against mid eastern folks unless their trying to blow up my country but i wonder how the hell they got a cdl , when they barely are understandable in english and thats if your lucky enuf to have them write down what they wanna tell ya.... Everyone has their big strapper bluetooth headset on but most don't have a radio to pass on important and valuable info as in road reports..... But yet theses know it all kids are goona tell us old timers how to do it..... Bull sh-tttttttttttt

    I thought being a Driver means Driving. Having the permit to do so is a + for me. I can do it, I have never driven a school bus, but I can if I want to. Drove a bulldozer once. Drove a hearse once. Everyday is new.
