    You should get one of those swimming training pools... there like a hot tub but less fun.


    Takes em a whole day, eh?

    Think we spent three on it at Melton. SPD was a solid four hours... riddled with some smoke breaks in there.

    Can I wear water wings when I learn securement? Those trailers seem really slippery.

    I want to have a contest.

    Everyone kicks in $5. All those who pay then write a topic about trucking. Any topic. The best one gets all the money.

    Here’s the catch.

    You have to write it in the style of @TripleSix

    Who is in?


    I’m out. I don’t know ####.

    One of the toughest things to do at TTR is have a discussion without discussing politics. No, his company shouldn't be liable...some state official should be held liable.

    Back in 2008, Swift and the state of Tennessee had this gig going where they were giving illegal immigrants CDLs at their Memphis school. Well, one illegal slammed into an SUV, killed an entire family. The illegal got out of the truck and fled. Swift was in the hot seat, and all of their students that did things the right way were punished and had to redo the entire CDL process again. But the people in the State....?

    Remember Kate Steinle? Everyone that has ever legally owned a gun in the States has been told that if they discharge their weapon, they are liable for wherever the bullet goes. That's fair, right? So why do immigrants get a different set of rules to play by? It's a political reason...that's all I can say.

    That wasn't disrespectful. That was kindness to try and show you the error of your ways.
