<p>[QUOTE="Grinnbearit, post: 305727, member: 11822"]As a student getting into the industry I try to ask drivers that have been at this a while at truck stops about what they think is wrong with us new drivers. Most of what I hear is that they are supertruckers that do little more than curse on the cb and curse some more when they get in your face and don't repect each other or the industry. I spent a little time on the CB this past few weeks and the chatter on their is horrible. All kinds of cursing, racial slurs and whatever else comes to mind. I kept changing channels and heard the same thing. Perhaps the old heads are on to something. Where is the respect? Given some of us are respectable people and you get respect when you give it but most of the newbies in my class expect to drive some and be at home twice a week. some of these people are going to van, reefer and others are skateboarding but I agree there is a severe mindset problem that needs to be fixed. I'm sure someone will read this and say what does this guy know? I know what I hear(unprofessionalism) and what I see(unprofessional look) and between that and NAFTA it doesn't sound good sometimes. </p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies-vb/roundies/biggrin_2551.gif" class="mceSmilie" alt=":biggrin_2551:" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
