Yeah, we're not all stupid, but there's a whole lot of them. One of my favorite things to do on the road is pull in a truck stop and watch people tryin to back into parking spots. That's good entertainment right there. I'll bet you this guy was on the telephone. Any takers?

 

WTF
There r a lot of retards out there. I have to deal with the cream of the crop when im working at willow run. They do CDL training. I feel sorry for these guys that get their CDL's and get jipped on their training. Im not going into details, but I got my class A from where I work now, n looking back on how much they didnt teach me.......... WTF?!
That guy however, just plumb did NOT pay attention what so ever.
Not to "toot" my own horn, but I have never hit anything, came close, but not because I wasent paying attention, I take pride in driving a tractor trailer.

 

Yeah, I take pride in bein one of the best. I've never hit anything either. Those truck drivin schools don't teach much of anything as far as I can tell. I think they just take their money and ride'em around a lil' bit. Has anybody ever been to truck driving school that can tell us what they do teach in their.

 

I knew a few guys that went to a school in WI and it was a joke. Not that I'm a very knowledgeable truck driver, but I was a better driver just from what I leaned growing up on a farm. They learned the CDL book, how to past the tests, and how to run through the gears up and down driving from off ramp to off ramp on the hwy. None of them could back straight down the road let alone into a bay.

 

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

 

"Come n get your high speed chicken feed, channel 14 thats one four, for that high speed chicken feed!"


wow, 2 hours, thats amazing.
