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

OJ was no threat to anyone. Don't believe everything you see. Would have never had a worry with OJ as a neighbor. And he could put his Bronco around a right hand corner.

 

I can’t remember because it’s been 22 years. But, I have learned that you never stop learning out here and you can always improve on what you already know. I have been trying to master blindside backing in a sleeper and use every opportunity I can to do it.

 

One thing that separates a really good driver....from a "so-so" driver...is called "situational awareness".

Sometimes....responding in milli-seconds sooner...can make the difference between a "close call"....& a crash.

Absolutely! I think it was another one of OP's threads I went into this... It's far quicker to verify what you think is your current situation than it is to have to analyze before you react.

 

as Barney Fife would say...."He's a NUT!!!"

 

1) Dollars to donuts, there are probably quite a few truck drivers, along with other segments of the population, who do NOT have any social media accounts, including this particular account, the truckers report forum.
2) In many respects, the truck drivers, along with other segments of the population, who don't have any social media accounts, may be better off. They don't run the risk of attacks & counter attacks from every which way.

God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, every night, all year round.

 

That's a good one.
