Like I said, with your grand total of 6 WEEKS of driving experience, (ROFLMFAO!!) I've no doubt that you kow more than the rest of us.

My God, just what is going on here????

We have Lewis Friend, (A.k.a.; Col. Toon, Chad, et al.)...Fykeoff, and now this idiot. In the mean time, it seems that we have lost some really good people, like Rokk and Josh (Ardmore Farms Forever). This place is becoming Class A Trollsville....Talk about going down hill???

Dizzy,

Allow me to congratulate you...... for your splendid display of collassal ignorance!!!
:P

Retire before I'm 50???? I could be retired right now, except for the fact that I love what I do too much to ever want to give it up completely!!

I've already retired once, and I'm not yet 50. The idea sounded appealing, and for the first six months, it was splendid!! But there is only so much you can do in the way of liesure activities, then it starts to loose its' allure. It's one thing to have the flexability to pretty much do as you wish, but I discovered that I could have that, (for the most part) and still be productive as well.

Yeah, the idea of hitting it big in the Lotto, then telling the world to kiss off makes for fine fantasy, but without doing something that was productive, something that demanded something from me, I discovered that a certain sense of purpose was lost!!!

Matter of fact, when I began driving a truck, i had already built substantial wealth in life. At the age of 24, with about $15,000. in start-up capital, I started a small business out of a spare bedroom in my house, grew it, expanded it, went on to create over eighty jobs with it, (became the largest supplier of custom medical drapes and equipment covers in the U.S)......then sold it eleven years later for well over four hundred fourty times that much.....after which, I remained on as President/CEO, and spent the next three years as a consultant facilitating a smooth transition for the take-over by the new parent company. It's well over a decade since the my involvement ended, and that was just one venture, there have been others as well, and there are interests that I hold in still other comapnies now!!

So, unless you need a couple of commas in order to properly register your net worth, I'd strongly suggest that you keep your mouth shut, your door closed, your foot on the pedals, your hand on the wheel, and your eyes on the road; do remember to check your mirrors, though!!!!

A rookie out of school makes more than I ever will??? Still ROFLMAO!!!! I am about to write a nice check to the IRS that will be far more than you even gross your first year..... closer to what you might gross in your first two years!!!!

Take a hint, Chump; If I had to work at the old J-O-B (Just Over Broke) kind of job, then i wouldn't have time to dink around here at all hours of the day and night, would I??

Nothing wrong with driving a big truck for a living, although I just did it because it was something that I always wanted to do, not because I had to rely upon it for a paycheck!!

I've seen your type come and go too many times to recall. :roll:

22 years old 5 months behind the wheel and know it all, plus your the best driver out on the road. Better than anyone with 30 years under his/her belt.

Dood.... your really starting out with the wrong foot forward.
You need to step back and take a breath, and understand your still a rookie, and will be for a few years.

Try not being a smart ass and take in what people experience have to say here. Your an accident waiting to happen with your attitude.

I was fresh out of school and got a tanker job here in the bay area and have been doing it for about 1 1/2 months.The first 4 weeks i had a trainer and now I'm out on my own.

:shock: Nope!! Doesn't look like five months of experience to me!! :shock:
The good news is that he dresses right and interviews well!! :P

I was going off his very first post here on Sept. 11, 06 starting school in 2 weeks. Give him 4 weeks of school, leaves 5 months driving for someone.

Guess he was unemployed for 3 1/2 months after school if he only has 1 1/2 months in. Makes you wonder why.

:shock: that does not show up in the right dress :shock: or interview well.[/b]

Okay, all of us need to remember that this guy is from the Bay Area. After further in depth scrutiny, it is now clear to me why he got the job.

What we have here may well be a failure to communicate clearly; This kid's definition of "Driving A Tanker" may well be different from yours or mine!!
:P
If that is the case, then I retract everything that I have previously stated!! 8)

After reviewing your previous statements, and further careful consideration, I have concluded that you could be right!!

Never trust anyone without a blank profile on here- either something to hide or something really really ashamed of :wink:
