Werner is running a scam

Personally I think 29% is low...people are at their brinks right now...I too see a revolution coming as well...

you can only push people so far before they snap & with all the job losses, home foreclosures, people just can't take it no more.

 

don't tempt me, I said I'm leaving this post once already... Don't make me come back into this room again... OR I WILL LEAVE, AGIAN!

 

...Too Funny

 

Ok your a mod so Im not trying to p in your lucky charms. However, if a thread goes in a direction and people express how they feel it is a good thing.

Commanding what we can and cannot say is comparable to the many trucking regulations most everyone hates. If you play the card theres a forum for politics, I question your view of free speech which you probably support. So why tell me/all of us, it is ok to express your opinion, you just cant do it here?

Thats like putting a governor on my truck.

 

The Mod's monitor these forums for many reasons. Off topic questions, foul language, bulling, things like that. This topic has gotten off track now. If I were you, I would pm your questions, concerns, dictations to them personally or you might find your self band from the site.

Now, again I feel that trainers need to have a minimum amount of time in the industry. 5 years OTR across the entire country is what I feel should be the standard. Also I feel that when a driver has said time, they should then go to a certified training school either in the company(i.e. Schneider has one for their Training Engineers). It was about 2 weeks being paired up with other trainers in training and a curriculum to follow. I feel that since we have to learn through the government regs, trainers should be certified through the government regs as well.

This is a professional occupation that we have. It is not seen that way through the eyes of most. How ever we can do things to change it so that trucking IS the profession it should be.

Side note: I remember looking at old photos of truckers in the 50's and 60's. button down shirts with a tie and dress slacks and shoes. Definitely made a better image of a professional truck driver.

 

To bad they pay 80% of these drivers unprofessional wages and treat them like a modern day slave..I think the word ''professional'' is over rated and tossed around more for ''ego'' strokes and ''manipulating'' newer drivers..It's kinda like an ''atta boy''...

 

I have to agree with you on that one. A tax professional, as they say on t.v. sometimes, is still an accountant. A major league and Minor league baseball player are both called professional, because, they are getting paid for what they do. If you do something and don't get paid for it, meant you are an amateur. Somewhere along the way, everybody became a professional. So with that being said, anybody that gets paid for what they do, is a professional. Yeah, very much over rated and over used. So, instead of telling somebody they are being immature, they tell them, you being unprofessional. Jeeze, I need to get a job and get back to work....

 

Even the Flatbedders?

 

up until the late 60's, you wore a hat and tie virtually everywhere

women wore hats, skirts below the knees and SLIPS so you could not see thru their clothing

today, we have come the complete opposite
