    Well that’s too much isn’t it? I was thinking more like having something small up on the windshield. A GPS is fixed the exact same way to a windshield via suction. What difference does it make? As long as you’re not watching porn or interacting with it as if it were a game of some sort.

    Very well. The goal is to be good at what you do.

    When you get behind the wheel of a big rig, that what I want you to meditate on. Most of the people around you when you go to orientation won’t be able to make the grade. But then, they didn’t go into it with the goal of being an excellent driver.

    When you get to the point to where you are deciding what company to join, ask them what does the AVERAGE driver make. Then ask what the top driver makes. The drivers on top end will make 1.5-2x average. Same company. WE DONT GET OUT OF BED TO BE AVERAGE.

    I want to see you at the top of the pile.

    “Six, what do you do while driving for hours on end?”

    I better myself.

    Luck in battle.

    Sirius XM satellite radio. You don't have to worry a cell phone ticket or cazy cell phone data usage. If you can get the antenna on roof of truck you never lose signal.

    Just did some research, leading cause of truck accidents is speeding. You really just have to be smart and have some aptitude towards driving. I’ve done some stupid things driving but never have I been in an accident or had any tickets in my life. I’ve had people tell me before I even got my license that with my attitude I’ll total my car, get my license suspended, etc. turned out to be the complete opposite yet they’ve gotten tickets and accidents meanwhile.

    ####, 1.5-2x more at the top? Now that’s some #### to aspire to.

    For the same time period, same company.

    Don’t be one of those people that think that just because they got the job that they don’t have to apply themselves. Want to make 1.5-2x average? You will have to better yourself. Hardest thing in the world is for YOU to better yourself. Make your mind up on what kind of driver you want to be. And crush it.

    When you’re rolling down the road, the thing that should be on your mind is doing the job better. Rock and roll.
