    I’m with you man. I think I’d have to take a pass on some panty wearing transvestite trying to soil my purity.

    Your answer should be "my worst experience in my career has been having to do this dumb interview".

    Probably believing a TTR driver's propaganda about his company. My experience was opposite of what he claimed his was.

    Was riding in a 30 ft straight truck and was asleep and the driver managed to hit the one concrete pole in downtown roanoke va. Never received an butt chewing so bad for not spotting the driver. That didnt wake me up.

    I thought team showers at the Pilot meant you gathered up two groups of truckers to help each other get the job done faster. To my surprise, that’s not what it meant. And I wasn’t the same as the truckers I got to make up the teams. Hard lesson learned (pun intended)

    I’m sorry, to answer truthfully my worst experience driving was starting out with Covenant Transport.

    or watching EMT’s work on a young child that was ejected from his fathers car that flew around me in Nashville while his brother was screaming “my brother is dead”.

    Sometime in either '99 or 2000:
    Driving a Cornbinder Sleeper, Eaton-Fuller 10 Speed Manual, with a 53' Spread Axle Skateboard, usually hauling 30K - 45K Coils and being "instructed" to not rev higher than 1600 between shifts.
    Engine didn't "know" what was 1600.
    Had wonderful Jakes.
    Shop taught Drivers to Adjust Brakes During Orientation, so every week I adjusted Mine, mainly on Trailers and I ran A LOT in the North East.
    CHEERS!!
