your rookie mistakes
 

I'm starting this thread so tha drivers can share the mistakes they. Made when they first got into driving. Hopefully it will help out the new drivers but be entertaing as well.

First big mistake, I passed my HGV 1. Next big mistake, using it.

I acted on a boyhood dream, without thinking it through.
I wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed then, either.

Your boyhood dream was eating paste? :D

Can't you tell? Ever hear his views on politics? :)

More than anything my biggest rookie mistake was not understanding the world I had just stepped into. I thought truck-driving was about stopping for breakfast at a nice diner on a regular basis and getting to know the pretty lady behind the counter just a little. Lunch out of a box is fine. For dinner, of course it pays to make sure you're getting some decent nutrition and a little ambiance never hurt.

Hahahahahaha at me. It's more like grab an egg mcmuffin instead of a breakfast burrito because you'd have to sauce the burrito and that takes precious time. Sure lunch is out of a box but you might have to put it together while you're rolling. A nutritious dinner? hahahaha

why do cheese puffs and coffee come to mind?? haha

following my childhood dream atleast i didnt go in to farming

That's why I have my breakfast for dinner most of the time. I think I actually had "breakfast" at the correct time maybe 5 times in the past 12 years. Breakfast and lunch are usually whatever snacks I can reach from the drivers seat while rolling down the road.

whats breakfast?
