Things I have learned from these forums

All new drivers work for "bottom feeders" and as a result , are nothing more than "steering wheel holders"

 

Im gonna petition to get you upgraded to road train member early, you have learned all there is to learn here....

 

Lot of negativity in the world. You just have to sort through it and use what you can.

 

I won't bother with the obvious or previously stated but I've run into some people of like mindedness , some people such as Hurst and cnspr that are hilarious , some people that are rude and judgemental but I get alot out of the site in terms of usefull information on equipment and being now 6 mos into the flatbed biz from reefers I've been blessed with info that has saved my arse and opened my eyes to things I wouldn't have thought of .

 

Apparently I sure can't be of any use

 

Let's not forget that if you don't wear steel toe cowboy boots, jeans, flannel shirts, and drive without AC, you're not a real driver.... Typed as I sit here in tennis shoes, shorts, and a t-shirt, with bunk A.C. running....

 

The industry is doomed.......

 

I think it depends on how you use the forum. I've learned a lot here. Particularly about what to expect BEFORE becoming a driver.

I also pay a lot of attention to truck problems and maintenance threads. Even if the truck isn't the brand I'm currently in, I still consume any and all information in those threads because you just never know when that information might become immediately applicable to a situation.

I pretty much stay out of the bad trucking forum because you quickly realize it's just a bunch of one post wonders.

There is honestly a lot of amazing information that you can gather from this forum.
