Why don't some of you more experienced driver get together along with CAD and develop a Conduct Code and post it as a sticky or even as a Terms of Agreement for being a memeber of this forum. Something along the lines of The Rules of the Road posted in another thread. KISS it and make it so everyone can't help but see it. Maybe you and CAD can become an influencing force for a change back to more professionalism in the trucking industry.

 

at the top of the page, there is a button that says forum rules. its the same thing

 

I'm talking about a Driver's Code of Conduct for out on the road not for this website.

 

ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. ok, good idea ,but I doubt you will get much response, it's a me me me world anymore..

 

There is one; It's just VERY open ended. :P

 

such as,, if you are in my way. MOVE!!!! if I am in your way, too bad, deal with it

 

That about sums it up. :P

 

RULE #1: The Golden Rule.

RULE #2: See Rule #1.


[My personal favorite tho, is "Lead, Follow.... or Get out of the way!] :lol:

 

Just saying that everyone complains about the degredation of coduct by truckers. They are always talking about the good old days when truckers were the knights of the highway. That trainers with no experience are training and the rules of old are not being passed down. I just think it would be a good opportunity for CAD to take a leadership role and try to reverse the downward spiral. Have a set of rules that an individual driver can pledge to. Some of us more inexperience drivers may not know all the courtesies of yesterday. How are we expected to learn them, we learn what we see and if what we see are bad habits, guess what, we become part of the problem. I'm fortunate, I guess, being born with a healthy dose of common sense. I do better than the majority of drivers out on the road and I have less than a year of experience. But I guess it more fun to bitch about the problem than it is to try to fix it.

 

Works for me....
