To the Wannabe Class of 2010!

I appreciate the kind words. I crack on a lot of people on here and you are one of them. I do it just to have something to do, but the ones I mess with is also the ones I like. I do not want to see any new driver fail and I have always had the passion to help the new guys. No one helped me and I made a lot of mistakes. Now a days you can't afford to make those kind of mistakes. Wolf you have a level head about you, but I know what stress is involved in this game we call trucking. I know what your goals was and I just don't want to see you or any other driver make a hasty decision based on frame of mind.

That is why I try to get you to think past your mood at a certain time. I don't want you to do something that will effect you down the road. Once you settle down you see it that way yourself. You need to do what is best for you. You are smart enough to make a plan and follow it, but all of us can lose sight of our plans when we struggle with all the factors that come with this job. Some of these guys coming into this do not see past their perception of what they think this job is. I just try to make them see things from a different outlook.

 

You're a help to many. You certainly have been to me. (pain in the rump too but hey so am I. )

 

I know exactly what you mean.

 

I wonder if you know or realize, Tarps, just how much your words and those of some of the others on this forum, are listened to by some of us that haven't made it out there yet. Speaking for myself, even though I'm not out there yet, I read and think about what you tell others. I may not use it at the moment, but it's been filed away in memory for future reference. Some have a lot of respect for what you and others have to say and the advice you share.
