    It is but you can't learn anything if you don't put things to the test.
    Besides it's not my truck and I do actually have common sense.
    How would you know you can do anything unless you try it ...
    And it gives me that much more confidence that I can get into and through places I have to take the rig.
    Would you want to drive off-road to a customer and possibly get stuck and make yourself look like a fool?
    Or would you rather look at what you have to drive on and say yep I got this all day...?

    Oh and By the way...
    If you don't have common sense, YOU SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING A RIG!!!

    I'm actually really surprised there's not more tractor trailer accidents than there are.

    And again no one knows how to let other drivers pass...
    Why is it so hard for someone to take their foot off of the fucking gas pedal for literally 2.5 seconds?
    I'm a brand newbie and I get how to stay out of other drivers way!
    Oh yeah, I have common sense:rofl:

    This is why it’s hard to find good drivers.

    I'm doing best I can...
    I treat the truck like it's mine but I do push it so I become more confident with it.
    I think I'm doing a good job considering the company made me driver of the month already after only 4 months in out of thousands of drivers.
    Shit the head of safety even called me up and said I was doing a kick ass job.

    I really like driving, even though sometimes it is a pain in the ass but all I really have to deal with is me.
    I've been at 3 different work places over the past 25 years and I've learned I don't like dealing with people:rofl:
    Much better in the truck, everyone leaves me alone!

    I so agree with this statement. I'm getting to the age where my tolerance for people's bs is getting very short. Just me and my truck, the way Iike it.

    And from the outside, I see this as a big appeal.
