Probably how to drive better sooner and not having to avoid big cities, blind side parking, reading a map that says no trucks on this road, reading a map telling me 60,000 pound max to drive through the Grand Teton Pass, knowing where to go for a good time in Mexico instead of winging it.
Seriously, I think I learned a lot more then having some dip stick dispatcher jerking me around. They are not going to teach you anything other then hounding you to get your azz in gear and pick up that load.
I did my own thing in my own time at my pace. I didn't go where I didn't want to and I delivered on my terms instead of being forced to drive my tail off for 11 hours a day 7 days a week.
What did I learn....This is the only way to go.
