so choice load... lease?

I agree with you on that completely. I personally think training for truck driving should be almost like the training for getting a private pilots license. I know most people would scream at me for having that sentiment but I believe if it wasn't for going through flight school for my very first license for anything I think I would treat cars and trucks with the little respect you see most of the younger drivers coming into this industry treat it. Learning that you have to respect that plane, do your pretrip the same way every time, and really take care of the equipment has played a huge roll in how I look at any type of vehicle before I get in it each day. Most people seem to forget, you can't just pull a plane over at the next cloud if the engine stops or find the closets TA to get fuel when you're 2000 feet up. If this industry has the same regulations as the faa and it was standardized across the country, we would have professionals that know what they are doing out on the road and not "kids" playing with big toys.

 

I stand corrected..thanks for that.

Nice to know someone who knows nothing about trucking and get their CDL through Prime and a year later train some other clueless newbie.
All because they meet the standards of PRIME.

Keep on hammering..

 

How can you say "without hitting ANY thing except for the pole I slightly tapped" and say you haven't even come close to an accident.

That's like saying I don't do drugs I just smoke weed.

 

Or "I did not inhale..."

 

Sorry there I forgot that all it takes is 6 months to know everything, Ive only got 18 years so you're way more experienced than I.

Don't think it's on your record ? If you reported it to anyone wait til you change jobs and I'd bet it comes back to bite you.

But hey what do I know you're a seasoned accomplished driver who has never hit ANY thing!

 

I've changed jobs twice and can say any little thing possible can and will be on your record.

Even if you think it's something stupid and really wasn't a big deal it will be there and you will be questioned about it. I learned that one the hard way.

 

Get off my lawn unless you feel lucky punk, well DO YA?
Sorry those thoughts just keep popping up

 

Dang I didn't know that poles did like deer and jump out in front of you...Better keep my eye out for those #### things.
