Henboy!!
So, you spent some time in college, did you?? You studied the sciences and mathematics. I always though that you had to have a least a few English courses in order to graduate. I don't know of many professors who would waste their time trying to make sense of your mumbo-jumbo. I hope that your skills as a driver exceed your skills as a writer, but I highly suspect that they do not. I skimmed through a few points, but I refuse to waste my time trying to decipher your gibberish. For one thing, learn write in paragraphs. Your driving career can't be all too time consuming, as you must have spent the last several days pounding out your postings, and you could easily occupy a couple more days correcting all of your grammatical and syntax errors. As to the believability of what you wrote?? I can't say; I refuse to spend my time trying to make any sense of your illiterate ramblings!! As for the pro's who actually know what they are doing being unwilling to help?? I've not found that to be true at all. You are just miffed because they won't tell you what you want to hear. What I find even more laughable is that you encourage the noobs to eschew the advice of experienced drivers and O/O's, while wanting to be the new ring leader of the "Blind Noob Leading Other Blind Noobs" crowd. |

“If his story is true it is scary to think that there may be people like that out on the road. How on earth he got the fifth wheel jaws to close without being hooked to the trailer.... And he was backing up to the kingpin with them closed? How did he even get his CDL?….” DEUS, in response to your comment above did you read the specifics of the whole story on the refresher course or what specifically they teach?CDL school taught me how to couple and so did the refresher course.Trying to couple that trailer wasn’t my fault as I thought it was.Have you ever tried coupling a trailer with the jaws in the locked position?Would you know what the problem is at that time?How did I get my CDL?I received mine 2 yrs ago from Dalys truck driving school.I did everything right in coupling just that my confidence was low. LOAD IT, many will not do what I did but I did it because I am me.I have driven on many back roads in the past 2 months and encountered almost any hinderances on the road. I do not have all the experience but I have enough to go from Atlanta, Ga to Boaz , AL and drive on 431 or narrow routes like 76 heading out to mountainous Ashville, Sc and it's heights. Like I said, the guy with the crow bar at Ryder pushed the jaws open before I was able to couple.Try playing with some fifth wheel’s handle before uncoupling and you will see what happens. GMAN , you are right my numbers do not add up and sorry for that.It is more like $105k-1115k with 38% going towards fuel.This is not including plates,insurance, ad valorean tax or food.

henboy,although your story was interesting to read from a experienced drivers point of view. i think the phrase you coined newbies unite is a little overdrawn out.and getting help or other forms of info from newbies and not experienced drivers is quite redicilous.there in fact are some drivers who will help.like any other profession on this earth,bad apples drop from the tree everywhere.if you may of had a bad experience with one does not mean you will with another.it took cahunas how you got into the profession,thank god no one was hurt.my opinion you should of done it right like the rest of us.so what? you may have to train OTR.that valuable training you recieve,while you may not be "sleeping in your own bed" would of been a big help in some of your endeavors i read you encountered.but too late,can't turn back time.so i wish you good luck in your container career.let's hope this posts makes the next candidate think before buying a truck without not knowing how to turn they key!

If your 5th wheel was locked up when you tried to hook up, It would have jerked you forward. Just the sound alone should have been an indicator that the 5th wheel was locked closed. I have seen a 5th wheel lock while bobtailing around and nothing was wrong with the 5th wheel. The old timers on this board WILL help you, but not with an attitude like yours!!! Seems like you have pissed off most people on 2 websites, and don't think what 1 driver makes is the same pay all over the state of GA. This is why the experienced driver has a problem with new drivers, alot of them are changing careers and think they know it all!!!!! |

I must admit I've never looked to make sure the jaws are open before hooking up, but I sure as hell would notice that the pin was in. That is one thing that you should have noticed right away. |
War and Peace is right :P
