the one problem with my new job

####, what state allows 68,000 on a tandem? You'd need some pretty nice tires to reach that capacity. Do floater steers hit 10,000lbs for singles?

 

I am sure that's just the only problem you have noticed so far. It as simple as this. Drive like you know you are supposed to! It is entirely possible this "trainer" does not represent the policy of the company. So just do what you are supposed to, drive safe and right. If you do eventually see it is the companies policy then its time to move on. Its your CDL. Protect it it.

 

You're overthinking this. You know how you're supposed to drive. Drive the way your supposed to. Going to the boss and whining right off the bat sets a bad precedent. Once you get a feel for the truck and job you'll learn where you can push it. Btw running a red light isnt a place to push it lol

 

run the truck how you see fit, running like a idiot does not gain you anything, i pull gravel trailers, i run within reason and keep the door shut and ill get just as many loads as the guys driving like a holes. to many other variables that affect time a lot more than stopping for a red light.

 

That's how most of those local rock/grain haulers run around here. Blowing through red lights, rolling through stop signs, zipping 65-70 mph in the left lane on the loop, doing 60 in the 45 mph work zone, etc. If that's what I have to do to earn a decent paycheck, I'll pass...

 

If they drive like that then they pull a hopper bottom. They #### sure ain't no grain hauler

 

I don't really pay attention except to the company on the truck and the fact that it's 9 times out of 10 a daycab. Lived around here most of my life, the offenders are all well-known local gigs paid per load

 

I never understood why people don't leave following distance. Like really, is riding someone's bumper going to get you there any faster than leaving a 500 foot gap?
