Wondering if I should pursue trucking

Don’t be overwhelmed. Driving truck is a simple mindless task

 

Only for some people.

 

Keep the perspective that trucking is not a profession nor a recognized trade, so really not much of a challenge and requiring only the most basic reading and math skills. I can’t imagine anyone not being able to master driving “a large car”
Good Luck

 

Yes.....usually Simple Minded people

 

Drive you trailer not the truck when backing up.
I pick a fixed object when possible and watch the back of the trailer to see what way it needs to go. Then constant little adjustments to keep her stright.
And for goodness sake "Get Out And Look".

I'm not that great at backing up but I've never hit anything. If it takes me an extra few minutes or more who cares? I didn't hit anything.

Go to school. If after 8 months your bf can't figure out what your doing wrong and how to explain it to you then he simply isn't the right teacher for you. No fault or judgment that's just a fact.

 

Not sure I agree. I try to be not only mindful of my vehicle but all the ones around me, I maintain not only best driving practices but also ego restraint and good manners. I'm the one who moves the extra lane so the mindless driver at the last minute has room to avoid the truck on the shoulder, I'm the one who makes extra room for the impatient onramp driver, I hold the extra following distance because of the tailgater behind me. I slow and pull back in behind the truck I want to pass if I'm gathering too many irrational drivers behind me threatening the safety of ALL of us on the road...
Maybe the mindless drivers are safe because others compensate for their simpleminded behavior.
