She ended up in Jail (...why?)

What a stupid argument,she didnt know how much a ton was?article said she thaught about turning around so she knew something was wrong,she could've called dispatch,phoned a freind.

 

Not as rare as one might think. There is a driver at my barn who was raised Amish. She won her class at the 2014 Indiana Truck Driving Championships. Maybe she paid better attention in Amish school.

 

AND?

I know drivers who can't seem to find the dip stick that is yellow and marked in big black letters OIL sticking out like a beacon in the dark. So it is possible to get it all messed up and confused while driving.

One of the things I learned with interviewing a lot of drivers is that many of them are not trained to stop and think, but pushed to get it done. I blame first the ease of licensing but more than that I put this on the shoulders of people who claim to be trainers and pass on bad and stupid habits, which can be eliminated if we want it to be eliminated.

 

U missing my point,the problem is not being stupid the problem is trying to pass stupidity as a legitimate exuse to avoid being responsible for mistakes.

 

This is one of my favorites!!

Semi truck driver blames GPS for getting big rig stuck on bike path bridge

 

I remember that; Paschall Truck Lines.

 

. Let's not forget this moran

 

You thilly girl.

 

Yes, as in, "Paid attention in 5th grade math."

I went to a nearly fly-by-night CDL school in the 1990s, and even THEY were constantly harping the "Watch your speed, watch your signs, know your weight, empty and loaded."

AND she was a local, according to the article. Sheesh!

 

I spent a couple of years with a Kentucky Mennonite woman, so knowing what the Amish truck driver girl did isn't the least bit surprising. Critical thinking skills, or lack thereof, while exploring outside their community, are similar in both cultures.
