**tha Best Way To Start Out***

Take note that despite the spelling, I did answer. I merely pointed out that using shorthand from a cellphone can have unforseen results. There is a kind of ettiquitte that goes with a forum like this. And yes, it is mainly populated by middle aged white guys, and we bring with us some of our prejudices against the younger generation in some of the things they do. Can't help that, unfortunately, the majority of the experienced people who can answer questions belong to a certain demographic group, and if you want good answers, it does behoove you to tailor your questions to that group.

Hang out in a grunge or hiphop music forum, and the phrasing he used would be right at home and not out of place. It's just different here. I can;t help that, it's just the way that things are.

 

I think your right about the age thing.
Don't think all truckers are like some of the people on this site.
I just chope it up to them not being satisfide with there lives.
so when they see someone are age that has yet to feel unsatisfied, with are lives. They lash out at any thing they can find to try and put us in are plase. as funny as that is.. just ignore them.. most on this site want to help you. so listen to the good ones.
NOTE: this is not meant to insult anybody, just my personal view.:smt045 :smt045 :smt045

 

Well, this has been fun, but this is one mddle aged white guy who has to go to bed and get some sleep before going to work. so it's str8 to da bed for me to get sum shuteye. LOL!

 

talk about a pity party. now it turned into an age segregation thread. good grief. you know whatever. we all have our own opinions and may never see on level ground. but your saying too an extent that the older guys are unhappy and out to get the younger drivers here. you couldn't be more wrong. it's about been there done that and trying to steer the younger drivers away from making the same mistakes and thats all. cheers to you.

 

I dont think he was lashing out at you. I think it was those other two, who instead of giving good advice feel they have to find fault in every thing someone types. the bottom line is he was asking a question, and we all should do are best to answer him. everybody lighten up, we have never met there is no need to impress anyone... this is suposed to be a site for info. But everbody has to turn everything in to a debate, no wonder no body exspects much from truckers, And it's the same reason i do not listen to the cb..

 

Then offer him advice on driving, not a lesson in grammer.

 

hey i'm just honest and blunt, straight to the point. it is constructive talk. take it as it is. and if that offended you or him then your in the wrong industry. this is a wierd industry and rough sometimes. i don't deal the the cards i just play what is dealt to me.

 

Has it ever acured to you that you are in wrong industry?
I have known alot of truckers and feel, you sir are a minoriety!:smt038 :smt038 :smt038

 

whoa whoa whoa....back the truck up here. If you've known a lot of truckers, then you would know that a lot of truckers are just like Cerb is. Call it being grizzled, mean, whatever, that's just the way 90% of drivers are. And I'd much rather be told something like it really is rather than have someone blow sunshine up my arse.

 

definsive aren't we. i've been doing this business for 14 years now and wouldn't change to anything else. i have seen my fair share of people like you who think they know everything about nothing. see your above comment for proof.
