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 .

Oh damn I forgot the best part one of the top dog instructors wold tell the students that a person only needs 2 hrs of sleep a night you just have to train your self to only sleep that much.

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

wow, 2 hours, thats amazing.

I can tell you've been to W. Memphis, Ar. Ol 8 ball, got them party favas on 29, that's 29 for them party favas!

,howd ya guess? That and knoxville TN is real good for that, and lots of entertaining CB traffic after hours. Good town to buy things cheap if u listen for a while at the x369 truck stop row.

yeah, you might buy a disease in there if u ain't careful, hehehe. I was in there about a year ago, and the night before, 3 of those "women of the evening" were gettin hassled by the cops, and one of them stabbed the cop. Crazy %$@%*

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.
