[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2623680, member: 58386"] Just exactly what profession are you in? The term professional is a title that is reserved for the people who truly are. Doctors, Teachers Lawyers Professors etc. So cut the B.S. What you're doing is blue collar unskilled labor . Deal with it. I've seen scores like you. You wanted the "American Dream". Nice house in a good neighborhood. Family and kids . Picket fence, minivan and a dog and wrongly assumed that the money to pay for all this would come easily. WRONG! Now if you are lucky enough and I mean extremely lucky to get in with UPS and even luckier to get into CDL school and you walk into that classroom on the first day and you can't explain the difference between a twin screw and a dead axle or the difference between a drop deck and a walking floor you're behind the curve. Moreover the instructors will see right away if you have the eyesight , the ability to judge distances, the quick reflexes and the ability to manage the sky high stress The point I'm getting at is that there is no correlation in terms of driving environment between that little 6 wheeler you're running and those 40 ton behemoths. You say "stop", it says "when". You say "turn" it's says "does it matter which direction".The task in front of you is to learn as much as you can about those rolling coffins ahead of time in order to be prepared if that lucky chance comes along. Here's an idea. Some night, you don't have to work the next day and the weather is bad ask your line haul guy if you can ride along. You might have a chance to learn an important fact about Class A truckers It's not their body that goes first. It's their nerves. [/QUOTE]
