    Understand that a lot of us have lost patience with the new breed of poorly trained clueless steering wheel holders...

    Most of that can be blamed on the mega fleet bottom feeders who have played a very large part in dragging this industry down..

    Let me also add I am more than happy to help any noob who asks for help..

    as a driver with only over a year's experience, I forget to factor in how the megacarriers and crappy "schools" have helped destroy an industry that drivers have been trying to keep up for decades.

    Some, or most! But there were always bad drivers whether their driving style or their demeanor when not driving.

    The reality is--most of us true older experienced drivers--you almost never hear on the radio!

    I don't like when the truck next to me idles at a real high rev all night , but who the heck am I? If a reefer running next to you in a truck stop wakes you up , maybe a Walmart parking lot would be better. He I'm sure has had to sleep near RR track once or twice , I wonder if he called the RR and told them not to blow those train horns tonight cause he's sleep nearby. I've heard a lot of crybabies with legit beeetches in my 24 yrs , but to whine about the reefer units running in a truck stop might just prove he's the cup cake of them all.
