Nobody cares about their vehicles these days it seems. I'm always seeing passenger cars with blow outs on the highway during the summer heat. All they have to do is keep the tires properly inflated, but that is too much work to put into it.

Here's a tip for you new drivers: if you are signing on with a Werner, Swift, Schneider, Prime, England...any one of those training companies to ride with a trainer, and you meet an "experienced" driver (he wont have to ride with a trainer...he will just be issued a truck after the orientation circus has ended), that voluntarily gave you his employment history, ASK YOURSELF, "If this guy is all that, and has that much experience, and has pulled every load known to man, why is he going through orientation at a training company? It's like someone telling you that he got cut from a pro team, but he's signing up to play high school ball.
Now of course, I'm not talking about the guy that had experience but was off road for a few years, he will have ride with a trainer. I'm not talking about that driver that gives you the road test during orientation. You're not gonna be able to rub elbows with that guy for years. Look around your orientation class. No, not that 3rd generation, born in a truck kid thats the youngest in the class. He will have better abilities than the rest of you starting out, but he too will have to ride with a trainer. No, not the fat gamer. Not that guy from the hood who's been in and out of jail, and is finally trying to change his circumstances. Not the village idiot (the thickheaded guy that needs his hand held and asks the same question that he asked yesterday and will ask tomorrow). Him! The moron going through orientation, yet is talking down to the human resources people. Every time they tell him how they want to do things at this company, he comes back to tell them how they did things at his last gig. That's the guy. He's going to come after you. He wants a disciple.
