What is YOUR definition of a "steering wheel holder"

It must drive you absolutely crazy when someone says 'never say never' or hopes you 'break a leg'.

 

Now that is funny tinytim

 

Just be sure you take a salt grain with it.

 

tinytim - haha no that doesn't really bother me... Neither does "steering wheel holder" really... lol... My post my seem like it drives me crazy when someone uses that term, but really I understand what it's insinuating and people can use whatever term they want to describe an unprofessional driver.. I still think the term is stupid and we should come up with some better term to describe an unprofessional driver unfortunately I lack the imagination of a new name lol...

 

I never said I didn't do pretrips,I always will.I said other drivers don't and maybe it starts with companies not treating drivers like professionals as well as the public,DOT ect.Sorry if I offended you.Many drivers that came into this profession may have started out as true professionals and went down hill because of how they were treated,who knowsThat's one thing that will be consistant with me is to be a professional truck driver.I don't follow the lead of others and do just the opposite of who I am.I have a real good safety score and me being a professional is why.Im just saying companies not caring tends to make drivers not care either.I can't even begin to tell you how many times I called kb because of a local driver either having a burned out head lite,tail lite missing mudflap ect.I not only do my pretrip but others as well when I see them driving.

 

No ma'am, you did not offend me one bit, I was hoping I took you wrong. I read in your post where you said you do pretrips...

 

Posts tends to be taken the wrong way.Just posting what I observe in this industry,piticulary at kb.

 

I guess Super Trucker doesn't quite cut the mustard either.

 

I have seen many of those and even trying to play the part driving thru the Tyson plant.
