be carefull matt, avc might be a serial killer. :cry:

 

Do you believe everything you hear and read? Blindly follow the media taking all of it as 100% fact? I sure hope not. I certainly do not believe the FBI is watching us 'real close', and in fact the articles about the subject don't even say that! The FBI maintains lists and data for all sorts of crimes. Just because they have some special list of murder victims of 500 people, which they BELIEVE to be the work of truck drivers, does not mean they are watching the entire damn industry.

Consider this, the average is 45 murders a DAY in the USA! Their little death my trucker with 500 victims, covers many years of murders! It is a small drop in the bucket of murders in this country, and certainly not any high priority.

45 murders a day, with an american population of 304 million people, 500 murders over a vast period of time, with 3 million truck drivers.

Sorry but those numbers actually show that murders in the truck driving industry are much much lower then that of the average of any other person or group.

Go find a new legitimate topic to be paranoid about.

 

nEW WORLD ORDER, LOUD NOISES, 911 CONSPIRACIES, MOON LANDING HOAX! WE'RE ALREADY DEAD!

 

Yeah, you guys are right, this is not a problem, the media is just making the industry look bad to sell papers !!! issedoff: :bow:

 

They'd get "local" jobs.... like all wusses do! :rofl:

 

WOW, that hurt :cry:

 

Well, Mat... he MAY have a point here. Obviously, you can read. But, it is possible you are misunderstanding him. Let me see if I can help.

AVC said: [Translations in RED:]

I wanna be a trucker, but I can't get hired with no experience.

I believe that all OTR drivers with YEARS of experience, who got a grandfathered CDL, have not been properly trained in morality, have NO work ethic (although they've stuck it out for YEARS,) are more prone to insanity and criminal behavior, and are KEEPING ME FROM GETTING A JOB.

Criminal insanity cannot be "noticed" in the OTR veteran as obviously as it would be in a newbie recruit who really, really wants to be a trucker.

Older drivers don't have the work ethic that us wannabe's have. The fact that they have years of experience... and are BETTER drivers... should NOT give them a better chance at a job than us wannabe's who will surely get anti-insanity testing and/or indoctrination during our 3 days of orientation. Obviously...WE are the "better man" for the job.

Older, more experienced drivers with OTR experience have a higher likelihood of being MORONS who are criminally insane than us wannabe's with no work history to judge us by, and the companies are just being TOO profit minded and unable to make their own decisions as to experience levels for their employees. [Read... I can't get a job even tho I'm smarter than the average trucker!]

What has proven to work for companies for many years is going to be changed real soon with the advent of this NEW thing called a lawsuit. Then they will fire all those guys with years of experience... who have PROVEN that they can stick with this business... and hire all of us wannabe's who learned our "work ethic" by watching "Over the Hill" or "The Family Guy" on T.V. [then I can get a job.]

I have NO idea what I'm talking about, but I'm SURE it's someone else's fault! If the "companies" could make their own decisions, they would surely ignore their cost accounting practices, loss prevention actuarials and legal guidance and hire only wannabe's that require huge initial investments... in total disregard of the statistics that show the majority of first year drivers either quit or are fired for accidents.

I believe that years of experience, especially those that are accident free, should count as NOTHING in the consideration process for hiring drivers as those drivers haven't EARNED any respect for their "work ethic" and clean MVR's, are probably all morons and uneducated fools prone to psychosis, and driving a truck is SO difficult that only a younger man who probably never even changed the oil in his own POV... but, really needs a job... should be considered for this high tech industry. [Did I mention I can't get hired?]

They need to let a NEW crop of criminally insane idiots (with fantasies that are completely foreign to the likes of WindWalker) have an EQUAL chance at wrecking their trucks and living out "THEIR" fantasies under a new cover... cuz these OLD FARTS don't really NEED the job to feed their growing families, pay for college tuition, houses, cars, etc.

In fact, these OLD FARTS, (many who served their country honorably,) should just die off and get out of the business so us young pups just out of school and recently weaned can get a J.O.B! Because.... as I have stated repeatedly with NO proof... they have a higher tendency to be morons and criminally insane serial killers! Pay NO attention to the FACT that most of the serial/multiple killers of the last decade were UNDER 28 years of age! :hellno:

End of translation:

There ya go, Mat! Is it a bit more clear now? You were very CLOSE in your "comprehension," but... like the Rev... you missed it by JUST THAT MUCH! :lol2:

Gotta hand it to ya, tho. For a YOUNG pup, you've got a pretty good head on your shoulders (now that the fog has cleared.) :moon::lol2::lol2:

 

Avc may have a point.

Ted Bundy, Ed Gein, John Gacy, Joel Rifkin, Richard Ramirez, Wayne Williams and Jeff Dahmer were all truck drivers. The internet is serious business.

 

LOL GHOBO !!!! :rofl: :lol2: :bow:

 

You know when the CDLs came along? Take a look at the guys that were "grandfathered in". They park on the fuel islands and it still takes them 10 minutes to get into the fuel desk. Most can not sneak up on a turtle, because by the time they get to the turtle, it's long gone.

Your argument is INVALID. Not going to happen.

Looking at the age of a couple of the guys they've caught, they're not old enough to have been driving when CDLs came along. After that, there was no more being "GRANDFATHERED IN". And, as far as the FBI watching drivers really close... Not really. Only in areas that they feel the guys they're looking for, might frequent. And, then, they're looking at things like survelance tapes from the truck stop parking lots and C-stores. If they thought there were a lot of rogue drivers out here, they'd have cadaver dogs in the truck stops and weigh stations. Somewhere where they might pick up the scent of blood inside the truck. They don't.
