From a previous lifetime, heard frequently during the process of training low frequency high risk tasks... "They let their eqo write checks their skills couldn't cash". Clearly, todays version would be something about venmo and bitcoin....

Do any of y'all have a famous (to us) and original quote from a member of Trucking Truth that rings in your head on occasion?

This one I came across today, I'm adding to my bulletin board. It's from an older thread, but it sure is WHOLESOME! (And, I'll let Y'ALL guess to whom the credit might be, haha!)

"An amateurish display of arrogance and ambivalence to safety." << Regarding ignorant CMV drivers passing incessantly and incorrectly.

There's a treasure trove of information on here for the new people, and I just thought this would be a FUN compilation, while educational, as well!

Thanks;

~ Anne ~

ps; ADD YOUR OWN!!!!!! PLEASE~!!! I'll be adding more, as I come across them..in my notes and whatnot, haha!

From my favorite mini-series "Band of Brothers":

"remember boys, flies spread disease, so keep yours closed"

CMV:

Commercial Motor Vehicle

A CMV is a vehicle that is used as part of a business, is involved in interstate commerce, and may fit any of these descriptions:

  • Weighs 10,001 pounds or more
  • Has a gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating of 10,001 pounds or more
  • Is designed or used to transport 16 or more passengers (including the driver) not for compensation
  • Is designed or used to transport 9 or more passengers (including the driver) for compensation
  • Is transporting hazardous materials in a quantity requiring placards

Next:

That may not have been a movie, but I’ll bet anything there was a bunch of drama involved.

Same thread:

No experienced driver would paint themselves into a corner like that.

Just came across this epic; it was a collusion with / to Mr. Dave Reid's reply to the O/P. Hint.. Intermodal.

If you think you can take on the whole world and win, then keep trying. But I think someday you'll realize you're exhausted; out of options, out of friends, and out of opportunities because you never learned to get along with anyone, or you never thought it mattered.

^^^^ Name that Tune ~ (okay, author!)

Intermodal:

Transporting freight using two or more transportation modes. An example would be freight that is moved by truck from the shipper's dock to the rail yard, then placed on a train to the next rail yard, and finally returned to a truck for delivery to the receiving customer.

In trucking when you hear someone refer to an intermodal job they're normally talking about hauling shipping containers to and from the shipyards and railyards.
