I learned one fucking thing in class! I refreshed my memory. I hate putting out triangles. It has been so many fucking years since I had to put out triangles that I couldn’t remember how far apart they had to be.
I googled it and I came up with 25, 75, 100 feet! So that was the only refresher that I refreshed!
It fucking sucked ass being told the exact same information you have been fucking doing for 30 years. And then having them tell you you’re doing it all wrong!
What I found to be extremely almost psychotic in their attempt was to tell you that oh yeah, go ahead. Talk on your cell phone. All you want as long as you have a Bluetooth headset!
I have literally, I can’t tell you how I know this, but I have literally ridden behind a guy who spent his entire 11 hour shift of driving talking to his old lady! No way or how can you call that safe? I’ll never understand!
And all of this smith system, bullshit, blah blah, blah blah, how did they not mention once? To drop your fucking ego and be a courteous driver?
You throw in the concept of drop your ego and be as a courteous driver. If they have the brain power to comprehend that statement, they could possibly be a good drive!
That’s just the way I see it but I do love it since I started here almost 23 years ago when a newbie comes up and asked me about pre-trips and shit. I always have been telling them to do it the same way every time. If you stop and get distracted, start over from the beginning! I noticed that today they have now included that in there pre-trip video. That was me, well, I’m the reason for it. I don’t know, but I’m gonna assume Twas cus of me! Cus I’m awesome! 🙂
But honestly, I learned nothing new. I wasn’t even gonna wipe my ass with sandpaper cause I already know that the sandpaper would’ve been far more of a valuable learning experience than the three something hours. I just spent there!
But I always find it funny I really wanted to ask the teacher guy how many wrecks you’ve had since you stopped going driving on the road and are now a safety teacher?
Because every safety teacher I’ve ever met that used to be a driver was a really shitty driver….:
I hope all of those drivers that were in that class live a long, prosperous life. I hope they make Buku bucks and that the company’s propaganda of being the best of the best of the best finally comes to fruition!
But unlike you people, I’m not gonna fuck up a good thing. I’m gonna keep doing what I do cause obviously it fucking works.!
Oh, and a sidenote, you never mentioned to these newbies, had to keep their brain occupied and engaged, on a long drive!
Just a few thoughts, but hey, what do I know? I’m just a fucking truck driver……
