Some numbers for new O/O

If you allow the appearance and actions of other people to define you, then the battle is already lost.

There have always been ragbag truckers. There will always be ragbag truckers.

 

And when they outnumber the good operators?

 

That should make you stand out that much more.

 

I have a bunch of trucking family my dad,my grandfather,my stepgrandfather,and a uncle whos a mechanic and jack of all trades and he was a mechanic in the logging woods and heck hes in his 50s or 60s and is stronger than most 20 year olds my 70 year old grandfather still drives a tanker truck. I have lots of people i know that have been in this stuff for years and know what and what doesnt work my grandfather is the lead driver meaning he works out the routes all kinds of stuff (sadly the company he works for isnt great and hes been there so long he does feel like trying to change plus the insurance is good and my step grandmother has health problems (yes i have alot of step grand parents but no step parents lol

 

Actually if you look into oil costs for the year it is a savings heck the new internationals now have stuff thats 17 dollars a gallon and thats on sale!!! (They just got new rigs for the school... its a state school so things arent run very well from the higher up lol my dads actual boss is good but theres people over him its done through a community college and when you get trucks from them its te lowest of the low so you get no 12v outlets not power mirrors no hood mirrors and a 75 gallon fuel tank and the state wont oay to have the trucks decaled lmao i might have a pic of the things lol )

 

Well i had a good point but it was to strong and got taken down

 

Your post was taken down because you violated the rules. If you want me to elaborate I can or you can read the warning that came with the deleted post.

 

I just wish you coulda edited it cause part of it didnt have that

 

I don't see it...I looked in my account, and in contact info...it just allows me to change my email and decide if I want to see messages from all members or just people I follow. I see too that I follow you now and you follow me...but, no place for private messages. I see where I can add identities such as FB etc. Would that work for you?

I think the TTR police took that away from me a while ago...they said I was "violating" one of their many policy's that are in their "terms and rules" nobody ever reads...I think someone asked me once if I'd consider hiring them as an OO and I said "sure"...
