Also the reason I was forced off the road was due to Epilepsy a medical condition so unless you can walk a mile in my shoes do not go there. Try having a condition where you do not know when where or if you will lose all control of your body tear your shoulder to pieces maybe put your arm threw a plate glass window and for fun bite your tounge off. You also have to remember I was running as a trainer and I recieved credit for those miles in my calculations since I got paid solo rate on those miles made my life nice on the paycheck.

So let me see if I have this correct - you didn't DRIVE 1,000,000 miles, but you were PRESENT when someone else drove for you.

Wow - I'm so impressed. :roll:

When I was little, I remember seeing this American guy going way faster than 100mph; And his rig weighed much more than 80,000lbs.
I,m not sure of his exact speed or indeed the size of his rig
But I do distinctly remember his words when he finally stopped.
He said "This is one small step for man...... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Rev I did end up with one million miles driven however you are the kind of driver that makes my blood boil you ruthlessly attack yet I imagine you are the kind of driver who one is always screaming about the lack of parking in a truckstop when there are plenty of spaces besides the front row. 2 complain when you are forced to wait in line to get loaded and 3 actually wait to recieve a dispatch I for one never compalined and was able to be rehired for all the companies that I drove for do to my customer service skills more than one time I had a customer ask for me to haul a load. In fact I had a the pleasure of more than one time hauling the first load into a new customer for the carrier I was driving for. I never was placed OOS for either a log book or equipment issue in the time I was out there I chewed out more than one shop foreman for not wanting to repair something that was saftey related. I took pride in my job and if I did not have my current condition would still be out there training a new batch of drivers the right way not the school way of how to drive.

I still disagree - you claim 39 months driving, yet it is impossible to run the miles you claim in that period of time. You still haven't provided any reasonable explanation for this discrepency, other than you are claiming miles that you didn't drive, but rather were just PRESENT when they were driven.

I rarely park in the front row. In fact, I rarely park at truckstops.

The Rev. never waits in line for anyone. :roll:

Quote: 3 actually wait to recieve a dispatch

This makes no sense. What - am I just supposed to randomly drive around looking for someone to move?

Your signature line says otherwise - something about being FORCED out. Sounds like a complaint to me. :wink:

Good for you. I do that all the time. It isn't anything special.

Teaching them how to do triple digits, no less. :roll:

Just for giggles, I'm gonna break down your sig line:

Quote: Forced off OTR driver

Complaint.

Quote: with 1 million miles accident free

Disputable.

Household Goods
Automobiles
Boats
Corn Gluten Pellets
Cottonseed
Ammonium Sulfate
Liquid Human Waste
Solid Human Waste
Office Furniture
Fish Meal

I stated it was 39 months before I was made a TRAINER not that was total time I had on the road. As for some of your other things you go into about training drivers how to run triple didgits never did that and I NEVER FREAKING WOULD. I had a trainee kick it out of gear on Parlee you know tha little mountain leading into SLC. If I was not trained properly by my father both of us would have died that day. We were past the runaway ramp when it happened and he almost lost it going right by the 215 interchange. As to your list of commidities I have some that you do not list and I can not list for simple resons of NATIONAL SECRUITY and that is all I will say. I failed 4 out of 5 trainees that climbed into my truck and flat out told them that they did not have what it took to be a Professianl Truck Driver not a Steering Wheel Holder. For me driving a Semi was a Profession not a job. The reason I am not out there is called EPILEPSY read up on it a nice little conditon. I can not drive and am forced to live off of SS for the rest of my life.

I always crossed any and all open scales. I was a safe driver you are judging me on ONE time when I decedied to let my truck stretch her legs out. In a 6 year stretch how many times total were you given either a logbook ticket or a speeding ticket or placed OOS for either equipment or HOS voilations since REV you are always screaming about saftey.

No I am not - I am judging you on the fact that you felt the need to BRAG about it by posting it here.

Maybe My memory is a bit foggy but I don't remember any runaway ramps on Parley.

Personally I'd rather be trained by somebody who's pushed the machine to its limits at triple digit speeds. It might come in handy when you're bareling down a mountain after the brakes fade.

But I guess if your let your brakes fade on a big mountain you are an unsafe driver :roll:

Yes, and if you let your brakes face on a big mountain, you are an idiot as well.

Well **** it then. Lets just do away with all the runaway ramps on the steep mountains. Because if you ever loose control on a mountain you are just unsafe, and as such you should be hurled to your death. We only need safe drivers out there like Rev that never make mistakes ;)
