Thanks......I'm actually looking to hire a guy to back my rig. Where do I find those guys? Craiglist?

 

Yeah. Craigslist. I heard they have a ton of ads for male back-up service. :lol:

 

This must be open mic night at the comedy store. I'm into the XX chromosome. Thank you very much.

 

I have a few "illegals" I can rent you. That is what I have to help me back across those four lane roads:lol:

As for Kevin's "problem", I have only one thing to say:
LIVE AND LEARN!

 

Sorry- I'm new here. I prefer XX also. But from an XY perspective.

 

Kevin we all have fun at your expense but I want you and other new drivers to think about something. When I was new on this board someone asked how long does it take to be an experienced truck driver. A respected member here answered 10 years in his opinion. At the time I thought that was pretty extreme as I had a year and thought I was pretty good. Well now I have 5 years and the difference is like night and day from 1 year. In 5 years I have done steel and mostly LTL. I have driven sleepers, daycabs, flats, 53's and doubles. I have done OTR, linehaul, and P&D. I can navigate thru a city and back like you wouldnt believe. I can even back doubles. I can drive in thunderstorms, sleet, snow, fog. It just dont matter, I'm like the mailman. I have driven 6,7,9,10 speeds and super 10's. I've lost a steer tire. I've slid, and started a jack knife with doubles but saved it. NOW let me tell you what I have NOT done. I've never driven the rockies, in NYC, or gone into Canada. I've never driven a 13,15, or 18 speed. I've never pulled a RGN, reefer, car hauler, tanker, dump truck. I've never driven off road in a log truck. I've never driven on a frozen lake. I've never owned my own truck, had my own authority, or dealt with brokers. I've never used qualcomm. Never filled out a comm check. Never had an accident. Never got a speeding ticket. Never used a runaway truck ramp. Never drove team. Never pulled over 100,000 lbs. Never been a bull hauler. The list of nevers goes on and on. Now I begin to see what the guy meant by 10 years. At this point you are a glorified steering wheel holder in the truest sense of the phrase. You can drive 1000 miles down the interstate and back into a door at the Walmart DC with no problem. But when faced with a little adversity you crumble. Hell you're still scratching gears on a daily basis. It's OK to be new Kevin. We've all been there. Maybe you should stop looking down your nose at your fellow drivers and realize you still have a long journey ahead of you. You may not like them but they are way more more seasoned and polished drivers then what you are at this stage. In other words they are more capable of getting the job done without any issues. When I was new at this board I did alot more reading then posting. I've learned a great deal from all these people on here.

 

Very well said, Snowman.

 

Thanks Rev. One more I forgot, never hauled hazmat ping bong balls.

 

But you have hauled hazmat "ping pong" balls, right?:lol:

 

I'm in the job market
