I haven't watched many videos since before my cdl, it's nice to learn from other people's mistakes.

That’s how I passed the pre trip part of the hiring process at Walmart. YouTube.

Learning from everyone else's mistakes prevented me from every making any on my own.

That's good! I still made some mistakes, am sure I'll make more, I turned down the wrong ramp a few months ago, had to drive 15 miles to turn around.

I learned aeronautical engineering from watching YouTube. Built my own plane.

Damn FAA won't let me fly it. They said it's "not airworthy". But I welded those steel barrels up with real welding rods instead of coat hangers. It's safe.

30 miles out of route? I would fire somebody for that.

Would you really?

Really, it's not funny posting accidents, I saw too many dead drivers on the side of the road. One rear ended at 70 mph, burning. A ups truck rolled upside down in the drink, over a guard rail on a winding road, and many more, and no way to help them. It's a dangerous job, and many drivers give their lives doing it.

Snowflake. I watched a guy next to me take bullets and another guy turn into red mist.

In a heartbeat. That is roughly 45 minutes you wasted on your available 70 hours and 5 gallons of expensive fuel. Mistakes like that is what put HVH out of business from what I have heard.

I'm paper logs, but yes it was about $20 in fuel.

You landed a paper log job? All the paper I haul is in rolls, much larger in diameter than most logs.

Dispatcher sent me an hour and a half in the wrong direction to a job nobody was gonna be at that day because the ****ing twat couldn't be bothered to read an email that told her where they ACTUALLY wanted the truck and that one is still around. Guess you're only supposed to be infallible if you're a driver.

Planners are the biggest uneducated morons you will ever meet.

Never knock it until you have done it. The job isn't as easy as you think.

You're preaching to the choir except I don't sing. I just sit down front in the Amen row.

Yeah, it's tough dragging a load from a load board to a driver, considering most load boards pick 3 possible loads for that particular driver. I sat and watched a terminal leader pull loads for 80 trucks in an hour.

Computers handle things quite a bit now, but don't knock the job. The ones that make you money are doing a tough job.

My experience, they do their best when it comes to favoritism, I spent countless hours working off duty to fix their mistakes, sleeping in pull offs, ramps, shippers, receivers ect. Or sitting 18 hours between loads, they cost me, I figure 1000's of dollars. Swift was actually the only company I could get 2800 mile loads, then got paid while sleeping for detention pay while bumped to the dock.

So your an idiot that let a guy at a desk run his life on the road? I have never nor will I ever sleep on a ramp. Or a turn out on a highway.
