Profile For NaeNaeInNC

I was only on that trainers truck for a day. We both lived in NC, his student failed, and that trainer needed to get home for a preplanned family thing. It was a longer than single shift drive to get him home, so, there I was, newly minted CDL holder, making it work.

You chain to get out of the POO and to safe parking. You do not chain to get yourself into deeper 💩

Here's the thing. You are new. You don't know the exact reasons trainers are doing something the way they are. You do not yet know enough to understand all of the why.

You are coming off as an arrogant know it all, which likely rubs the trainers the wrong way. Training sucks. It sucks HARD. This job is not, nor will it ever be, suitable for the weak and whiney.

Your job as a student is to learn how to drive the truck without killing yourself or the general public, despite their eagerness to yeet their lives into oblivion. This job is unlike any other, and "I'll just pack up my toys and go somewhere else" is likely to kill your career before you even get turned lose in your own truck.

Do they put us with smokers? Yep. Even those of us with an allergy. It was either go with that driver, now, today, or wait possibly weeks without pay (not available for dispatch, not on the company's choice.)

Sometimes you have to put your big boy pants on, suck it up, and get the job done.

There is a difference between 24 years of experience, and repeating your rookie year 24 times.

The low bridge may just have killed your career. It's def not going to be easy, as you are finding out in the current freight market. Be prepared to hear a whole lot of NO.

What do your recaps look like? That's probably going to be your better option than trying to get a 34.

What she said........

I was always political. I was 5 yrs old when i watched jimmy carter & reagan debate. I was 15 when I went to work for the NJ Democrat Gov Florio. I earned a degree in History & Polticial Science. I changed parties when I saw the self segregation and hate promoted by the left.

Words like Dictator, Nazi, Fascist, Meglomaniac are used to invoke emotions and fear rather than reason and logic. Ironically, it is the exact tactic used by Hitler. The left wants larger, more power government which leads to totalitarian power making us all controlled slaves. All the while, Trump's SCOTUS has turned power over to the states by revoking Roe v Wade. This gives the people the right to vote on the topic. Chevron being overturned took power away from the Presidency (executive branch) and turned it back to Congress. So please explain how does one become a dictator after limiting power and giving it to the people?

Oh and the Immunity issue would have allowed Obama to be tried for killing Americans, including a teenager, without a trial on foreign soil. Bush could have been tried for Iraq. Biden could have been tried for a lot. That decision was about more than one person. Listen to the SCOTUS arguments.

I made sure I was home to vote. I am now done with the wokeness. Political correctness is gone. I refuse to recognize men as women, or accept them into women's spaces. Men should not be in womens sports, beating the hell out of them. Men do not have babies or get periods. Men should not be imprisoned with women, especially sex offenders. Female prisoners should not be rejected health care so that men can get "affirming care".

I refuse to support puberty blockers for children. 15 yr olds should not be having double mastectomies. Abortions until birth is just short of demonic. Anyone who disagrees should go watch one. I do not want my tax dollars supporting illegals, nor foreign countries. I want a POTUS that terrifies the hell out of world leaders while extending diplomacy before warfare. I want great school systems which teach civics and unity, not hate and division. I want oil production up to reduce diesel and watch the prices go down on goods.

If left policies are so awesome, why is every major city run by Democrats the last 50 years nearly bankrupt? Why are they crime and drug infested?

If this country is so racist and sexist, why is almost every major city in the US run by someone other than a white male? How are the race baiters like Van Jones & Joy Reid in high profile, good paying positions to cause animosity?

In short... i want our freaking country back from the Left wing Totalitarian, censoring lunatics.

My pronouns are now "Actual American Woman" and I don't care who I offend.

This is my personal opinion and does not reflect that of Trucking Truth nor the company for which I drive.

All I can do is echo what Brett said.

As a woman, I do not have internalized misogyny. As someone who understands case law, and what needs to happen to codify said case law, the Supreme Court was legally correct in kicking Roe V Wade back into the hands of each individual state.

Had the Democrats and extreme far left liberals not spent the last 8 years calling every one of us "-phobic" and "-ist" for simply expressing a view that is similar, but a different pathway to achieve it, they may have seen different results. Had they actually had an honest primary once they realized Biden wasn't it, they may have had someone we were willing to seriously look at.

Had they given a rest to the whole Stormy Daniels is a H00ker schtick, and understood that NDAs are quite often a pay for signature situation, we would have forgiven the side chick for "earning" her position on her knees. You don't get to scream morality, when every US president, and the majority of every house and Senate member have equally shady pasts.

They failed to listen to the fact that half the voting country is tired. Tired of the BS, tired of the "We deserve it" crowd, tired of the identity politics. Tired of being compared to literal Hitler, while one side is actively supporting a genocide We are bloody tired. We just used the ballot box to explain in detail how screwed up they are, running on the , "I'm not him!" platform

My entire prior voting experience was in small town Montana, so this was a slightly different experience.

It grated on me that I felt backed into a corner where it was more important to vote party over individual person for position, but I knew it was the only way.

The meltdowns on places like reddit are unhinged. I just hope that the losing party doesn't try and burn everything to the ground

I intentionally came "home" to NC to vote in person. At least I was the one to put my ballot into the machine.

The first time in my life, where I thought "May God have mercy on our soul" as I did it.

I would weigh after each shipper, and if the first shipper has weights way above what you are expecting, that is the time to fix it.

If we want to get nit picky, there is a BIG difference between the total cash into your pocket, and effectively the adjusted gross income that you are paying taxes on.

And to just add a tidbit I've seen and read around here. O/O's and L/O's when talking dollars NET in pocket. The proof is in their annual Tax Returns! lol......Great to hear you're currently doing well at it, and it continues to bring you success.
