Why did I get declined?

Me too.

Me too.

YuP.
I tend to agree.
I begat my drivin' career in late summer, as I recall.
And when I went team, it was with a co-driver with all-season experience, just not OTR experience, --- not another graduated trainee.
He taught me a LOT about the operation of Big trucks.
But had I had inferior trainers (which I didn't) and teamed with another newBee, (which I didn't), I shutter to imagine that situation on a windy, snowy, Wyoming highway in white-out conditions

After gaining skill and confidence drivin' on the dry roads, I was ready to dive into the wet ones. I'll admit, there were times when I was up on the wheel, and well puckered, --- but I had enough sense to keep my wits about me. A cool head in cold weather is a good thing to have.

I think the experience driving in better weather
can get a driver ready for the winter wonders.

 

HeY!
I live in Southern California.
WhAT's winter?
But I remember the FIRST time I encountered icy roads, --- it was in Van Horne, TEXAS. Pullin' doubles.
Hailin' like HaiL, and my unheated mirrors were frozen ice. Couldn't even see if my traliers were tryin' to pass me.
That's when and where I learned what they mean when they say
Drivin' By The Seat Of Your Pants.
You REALLY do.
You FEEL what's goin' on under, behind and above.

Too big?
or
Too small?

For me, it's white out conditions in snow when I can't see the lines in the road, snow is falling so fast that it quickly covers the tire tracks of the vehicles in front of me, and there's a ledge on one side --- headlights reflect back at'cha by the falling snow, ---- and blind you.
With head hung out the driver's side window, and not even being able to see the steps to get into the Big truck, just LISTENING for ANY sounds that don't sound right.
OH!
And ice freezes the windshield wipers so they don't scrape, if they work at all.

And thick fog.

I'd tend to go with that experienced opinion.

 

Congratulations on the weight loss.

It DOES get the juices flowin'.

Play your cards right and that WON'T happen.

That's for sure.

What sounds, and IS, scary sounding, ---
once actually encountered, can revert to concern, and is easer to deal with than fear.
Once you've experienced inclement conditions a few times, it gets easier.
Same with mountains.

But, I SWEAR, I will NEVER get used to crossing the
Macinaw Bridge!!
Even in CLEAR weather with NO wind.

 

i got a letter also from crete saying the same thing and i have nothing on my DAC. they arent hiring in other words at least me anyway.

 

They toll me something different , they tell me to get 6 mos experience before contact them back due to my work history . But , what wrong with my work history ? I work as a auto mechanic for pepboys for 6 yrs , self employer for 4 yrs with verify tax (small business) , and self employer as landlord for 2 yrs . Also , my driver license is clear , no ticket , no felony , no accident . What else could I do .
