I opened up a flood gate for newbies to go through and all I see is pro truckers coming at me with their axes,spears and sickles all because of how I went through the “back door” to get in. I WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANYMORE PRO TRUCKER COMMENTS BUT RATHER A NEWBIE AND HOPEFULLY A NEWCOMER LIKE ME WILL HAVE GUTS TO COME DISCUSS THIS POST THAT WAS DESIGNATED FOR US. In other words, you are looking for idiots and suckers who don't know any better. I see. :roll:

Am I to new to say that I feel stupider than I was when I started reading the original post?
I mean if it worked for him and he's still keepin the rubber side down then I guess congrats. Don't get me wrong... I want to be an O/O in a few years once I have the experience and some money saved up for a nice used rig. I'd rather learn how to drive in someone else's rig then one of my own.

I used to live in Atlanta. I don't see how anyone could live there and go very long without finding some sort of employment. I think your posting can do one thing for newbies. It can show them what NOT to do if they want to get into this business and be successful. I don't see how anyone can drive a truck and be afraid of taking a trailer into a truck stop. :roll:

Regarding the quote that was attributed to me..."he bought a truck, and was gonna have his own authority,"...I don't recall stating that; I think that those were the words of someone else. EDITED: That quote came from "Heavy Chase". BTW, an excellent posting, H.C.!! Slap me. but be easy.Heavy Chase did in deed make a fine post. I hope the newbees read it and the other fine post in respect to this subject. Drive safe. kc0iv

I enjoy reading emails like this from poeple like myself because we can learn from each other.
"Hi, ;;; There are many people out there like us but very few ;;; like myself who had the guts to come out. Yup, got that right. They love to rip people like yourself apart for posting that information but believe me there are tons of people who want to do exactly what you are doing. I think your doing the right thing going out and practicing. You are also learning from your mistakes and that is very valuable knowledge. You can read about stuff but surviving a close call will be burned into your mind forever. Your racking up experience. ;;; Could you please give me heads up on getting this authority Getting your authority is a piece of cake. Your real problem will be getting liability and cargo insurance. If you can get that, your all set. My liability cost me $4,200 and my cargo is $1,100. I don't really deal with any certain brokers but use the internettruckstop and only deal with brokers who are approved by DS factoring company. Get ready.....They will be on you non stop on the forum now. Why, I don't know. Good luck".

Well you falsified information to get your job instead of doing it the right way. You bought a piece of $hit truck that is unfit for the road, and now you try to convince others to ignore all of the experience of the people who know something about the business.
No thanks, I will listen to the people who have done things the right way and who know a thing or two about the industry. moron
