Should I expect more from a professional driver?

I over looked some of the best advice I was given 19 years ago almost to the day. It seems very fitting to this situation.

"You drive your truck and I'll drive mine, If you are to busy trying to look out my windshield you could miss the sign that may save your life."

 

Calling in on a driver for driving in a lane that he is legally aloud to drive in is ignorant. Point blank. Do you know why he was driving in that lane? Your not a professional driver, steering wheel holder, truck driver or what ever other name there is for it. But you think you are because you read stuff on the internet and ask people about it. You shouldnt be calling to complain unless its a life threatening thing. also you shouldnt even begin to judge a driver unless you have drivin a tractor-trailer before.

 

yeh man, you got to chill out on the dictator like attitude...reading your post reminded me of all those new lieutenants that were always looking to correct somebody on something...i'm with the others on this, unless its safety related, myob....

OP sounds like the old man screaming GET OF MY LAWN!!!

 

I normally take on 400 or better. I move my rig. Let the next truck fuel. Wife gets us a shower, I park. Way We do it.

 

Kinda hard to say if you was right or wrong without knowing all the details. How long was he there? WHY was he there? Those are a couple of questions I would be interested in knowing.

 

There's a difference between a driver making you mad over impatience than one that is outright a danger on the road.

Be sure when you call in on someone that it is a pretty darn good reason. Many times a driver will get fired over someone calling in.

I don't see a truck holding up traffic as a good reason. Some drivers need a wake up call with a talking or a fine but not termination.

What comes around goes around. Make sure you are 100% perfect out there.

I won't call on someone unless they are a reckless or drunk driver.

 

so that makes you apart of what category? I no what category im in. if he didn't want to hear what people had to say he should have written his post. I am entitled to my thoughts. and good night to you 2!!!!

 

I fill my truck, I move it. I don't go into the game room, watch TV in the lounge, get my hair cut, and leave a driver that has a dead line to wait. I spend the money, then park. Some don't
