In my 6 or 7 weeks driving a tanker i guarentee i drive it better and safer than one of you guys with a van or flat that has been driving for however long.

 

So...what Bay Area tanker company gave you this job? Might need to come and apply.

 

:roll: Less than 2 months of driving experience under your belt, and you are already SuperTrucker!!

 

Wait till some yahoo pulls out 10' in front of you, you'll find out what surge is. :roll:

 

That's a mighty big boast, pal.

I'm glad your doing well. But don't get too fat headed. I've seen many of truckers get comfortable...thinking that they drive as well or better than all of the others. I've seen them on their side. I've seen them in the ditches. I've seen cab completely ripped apart, with no sign of a driver around. You only have to get careless once to end your career, along with your life.

And yes, I do drive a tanker...however, I think this is for everybody who thinks like you do so early in the game.

Let's be careful out there.

 

Complacancy and overconfidence are fertile breeding grounds for trouble!
:wink:

 

Pretty bold statement. Ever take any big mountains, winter driving, or been 48 states?

 

Never said i was a super trucker buddy.Try to read.I bet i can handle a tank better than you though.

 

It has happened and i was ready for it.Maybe you should be ready for it too and the surge is no problem.Quit acting like it is.Pay more attention to whats going on around you instead of just holding on to that wheel buddy.I know all about surge pal.

 

LOL you guys with your mountain driving bad weather and this 48 state talk.Give me a break.Half the 48 are flat as a board buddy.Plenty of rain where im at but no snow.IMO a big rig should never chain up and drive in snow.Driving otr is a joke.Get on the highway and hold that wheel.Back up to a dock 2 times a week maybe.LOL.Try to drive in the bay area in and out of gas stations all day that are really not big enough.Much more skill in local than otr pal.Otr is the biggest scam of a job ever IMO.
