When I first came to this site I got some good answers and some good help. All i see on here now is ridicule , slamming any and all companies ( big or small). if you drive this kind of truck i dont like you , if you drive that kind of truck they dont like you. Theres maybe 10 names that you see on here all the time you know who you are. WHO MADE YOU THE GODS OF TRUCKDRIVING. Lets assume you are all drivers and you are all good drivers for a sec. When someone asks a question that you percieve to be stupid or repetitive , you usually dont answer it and slam the writer for asking it. Is that passing on your experience.
These days its more important for you people to tell someone they cant type or spell. JUST ANSWER THE DAM QUESTION. Were you people born with a truck under you A** or did you have to benifit from the experience of others like most of us did? All the guff you give the big companies about poor training or poor trainers when in reality 50% got into trucking thru a big company. This site used to as good or better than any trainer , not now. Ive only been doing this 2 years and yes i came thru Swift and yes the training was a joke (in school). I got a decent mentor with experience and asked him questions non stop.
Then when i was on my own i still called him with questions. If i dont know something ill ask a driver at a truck stop or at a yard or a lot whatever. Ive never had an accident or a ticket. Training is what you make of it. If you want to skate thru it , ya you can , but you can do that in every other aspect of life and get by.
I expect you all to go off on me and thats fine but maybe you'll just start helping again. BJS

It is incumbent upon all of us to be sure that the board management is made aware of OTX's questionable posting habits.
