What important skills of truck driving did you learn after your first year of trucking?

did he also tell you to not drive over little old ladies or drive off bridges.

can't teach common sense.

 

Why do u keep mentioning your trainer didn't teach u this or that? I was with a trainer for 5 weeks at swift. Don't remember a dam thing what he told me, dont even remember the guys name. But I do remember he smelled worse than a cow with explosive diahreah because he never showered and liked to lay in his bed covered in sweat and tarp grime and sleep with his shoes on

 

I'm still not convinced he's not an expert level troll. I saw him comment he didn't realize tandem placement affected offtrack for 7 years. Then the 118 IQ comment.

Anyone at that IQ level is at least decent at spatial intelligence and for sure good at pattern recognition. It just doesn't jibe.

 

But that's kind of another point... At that IQ level intellectual curiosity starts to become an almost irresistible force. One almost has to make the effort to NOT learn things. Especially anything you interact with daily life as a driver.

We're all wired a bit differently, but there's also a lot of commonality among smart folks. I'm a bit higher than the number you put out, and I promise I'm not normal. Neither is anyone else I've ever met around that level. But I can't think of any of them who wouldn't intuitively grasp that off track/WB relationship in short order. Mind you I was mostly around STEM types, so it's possible that's more likely in those wired that way. Just hard to wrap my head around the possibility of one not grasping the relationship.

And that's not learning by osmosis, it's learning from pattern recognition, and pattern recognition has a strong tie to IQ ; it's a big part of every IQ test I've ever seen. Humans in general excel at it compared to other critters. It's literally one of the biggest drivers of building civilization.

Sounds like a homeless man I’m bored ha ha ha
