Why yes mikenc you might want to infer that I have! I paid the consequences too! Thought by putting that out there that was spreading some wisdom! Actually my entire driving career all my faults have been in Ca including the riding in passenger seat off duty (don't know if you say that thread yesterday). Only one of my mishaps has been out of CA and it was IL. Ca. evil step sister! For the record whatever Bigmoney is as a new driver I would not take his advice!
I've been reading alot of Bigmoneys posts and I think he should be careful. W/S read these threads and he talks about all the out of route miles he puts on his truck plus the joyriding every chance he gets, pg 304 on the original w/s thread. Sorry Mikenc but I do believe he is a newbie driver for W/S.
Probably won't be for long! You have to be careful what you post. Never know who is reading these. Including illegal incriminating personal info. Careful guys.
WEDGE! You wanted to know about how my HPE went today, so I made a thread in the Watkins Shepard DAC Section explaining the HPE. It's called: Watkins Shepard Safety Interview/HPE EXPLAINED (Click Link Below) http://www.thetruckersreport.com/tr...fety-interview-hpe-explained.html#post1523420 American Trucker
Hey Chompi- I would have to agree that companies do read this site, especially the DAC section for specific posts or threads. Word to wise do NOT post your truck number. When the ex was working for another company (which I had no problems with and was actually pretty decent to him) I was still careful what I posted as I did not want him to have any reprecussions cuz of what I posted on TTR. I think TTR is a pretty 'big' site if you notice the number of Members vs guests who are viewing it can sometimes be 4 or 5 to one!! It's great when we have fun, pass on information like training or how to do log books etc but again, as chompi says, be careful!!
Hi Chris! I see it's been two days since you logged on to TTR so I am to assume you have been running pretty hard! When you get a minute and can post -can't wait to hear how you are doing, where you are and what's up!! We are keeping your thread alive! albeit hijacked many times over *blames it all on Wedge!!* but are having fun!! Stay safe driver!!
Not to be off topic but because i cannot do PM's yet...Hey Blue Screen my thanks go out to you for the PM with suggested blog. I really appreciate it and will check it out asap. Thanks again for taking the time to respond! Cheers, Wannaotr.
Chirs I just wanted to say thanks for your thread. I am learning a lot from your shared experiance. Hows the learning curve going for you now? Do you find yourself having more of the answers for "how to get it done safely" coming easier? Sounds like your getting some good miles too! hope that keeps coming for you. Keep safe and post when you can- you have a friendly following here.
Sammycat, I thought I was being good these days. OK OK. My Bad. I'll try to behave. Our job (referring to hi-jacked threads) is to give Chris (and others) something to read (entertainment) provided that the said posts contain education, humor, good thoughts, best wishes, and, of course, the occasional woopie cushion.
