That's what I figured, they taught them how to pass the test. What a joke. Anybody that is training drivers should've been out on the road at some point and should try to teach them some of the common sense things they need to know. I guess that's why the DOT is so hard on all of us.

Yeah, I had a pretty good edge on everyone in my class, growing up a farm and driving class B for 2 years was a nice jump start. Thats exactly what they do, teach them to pass the road test. They always taught (and still do) teach that if u slide the tandems forward it turns better. And NOTHING about sliding the fifth wheel, or legal weights for the drives and steers. I learned ALL of that on my own with Werner. I had a guy at work that slid the fifth wheel full forward with a refer and just about ripped the stack off. His explanation was he was over weight .

2 hours huh, that's a good instructor there. He probably told them that and never taught'em how to fix a logbook, did he? A person, especially a driver, can't survive long on 2 hours of sleep a night. I can't beleive he told them that. I did have a driver tell me one night to do a line of coke, lay down for 2 hours, and I'd feel like a brand new person. F THAT

ohhh yeah! Thats a good spot for that too. Specially when its warm outside, ive heard 5 or 6 of em on the radio all at once settin there. I have spent a lot of time in that T/A parking lot. If I get on down the road, I can be in their parking lot from my house in 12 hours I think it is. IF I keep my speed up.

They don't want truckers anymore. They want seat holders.

I call those guys that go to the truck driving schools crackerjacks. They buy their $5000 box of cracker jacks and ride around for a while. When they are done; they find a CDL class A in the bottom.

I had a guy driving for me with a CDL class A from a school out west somewhere. He wrecked into two cars after doing something I told him not to like 20 times. He admitted driving school was a joke and his actual test was total BS. If you ask me; there is some money changing hands somewhere along the line with these driving schools that guarantee you pass the test....

We were on the road together after he burnt up his first clutch and I was driving to deliver the cars. He wanted to jump out to help me back up with an empty car trailer. I was like "um...there's not any cars in the way so I can see everything around me, but thanks." A week and another clutch later; I suggested he find something else to do...
