Reality 101

It's time for a Serious Reality Check here!!

Regardless of your political views, regardless of your position on the "War on Drugs", there are certain realities that must be faced. Driving an 80,000lbs. missile down the road, through mountains. or through cities is very serious business. It requires people who are willing to accept responsibility and accountability, and adhere to a certain standard of behavior.

As far as being "judgmental", this is an industry that requires that you be judged based upon your conduct while driving, and while NOT driving as well. If you are not willing to accept the fact that you are going to be judged, then you will not be welcome in this profession.

There are no "Kings X's" here. Get involved in an incident?? Damage property?? You are going to be held accountable, regardless of whatever excuses you may have. If you have a documented history of substance abuse, and wind up in a wreck where someone is seriously injured, a company is going to be hard pressed to explain in a court of law why they hired you in the first place. You can argue that "that was a long time ago" all you want to, but it won't matter a bit. The "That's so unfair" arguement will get you nowhere here.

In this industry, if you are a user, then you are a loser, and every professional driver, motorist, passenger, or child who has to share the road with you is at risk.!! We are already overburdened with drivers who seem to believe that their past mistakes or errors are "not their fault", or "no big deal" The fact is, having a history of drug use IS a big deal in this industry, and it should be!! Second Chances??? Hey, if someone is killed, or left to spend the rest of their life in a wheelchair, do they get a "Second Chance"??

Sorry, but you are going to be judged in this industry, and well seasoned Professional Drivers like Yooper who adhere to the requirements of a higher standard of conduct, responsibility, and accountability have every right to judge other professional drivers, potential professional drivers, or wanna'bee drivers by that same standard.

BTW, I'm no angel myself; I'm not some Conservative Republican Red-Neck either. I am an old hippie who takes driving very seriously.

Peace, Useless

The back biting and name calling really does get old and quite childish.

This topic has gone totally awry and if the HATE AND DISCONTENT does not stop the topic will be LOCKED and the abusers will be BANNED.

Now PLAY NICE!!!!!!!

go ahead ban me. You all are way to judgemental and obviously can't read. I guess it's fine for me to be called a druggie, which I'm not, but I can't call someone a loser. Why am I singled out and not the person who is calling me a druggie. BYE LOSERS
