Answer:

I agree wholeheartedly, Wombat!!! If newbies want good, no nonsense answers without any crap thrown in, they ought to buy themselves a CB outfit and tune it to channel 19. No better place to get the straight skinny from truckers than on 19. Real men doing a real job with no nonsense or BS. Someone there to help you when you need it, no racial slurs, no abuse. Damm straight!!!!!


Answer:
Wombat, don't you know it's easier to feel like a "big man" when your hiding behind the monitor, or behind a mic?
Then again, it could be most of them are all talk, and wouldn't know the right answer anyhow!
Hats off to all those who are helpful to the newbies, pretty sure we've all been there before!

Answer:
Beeing a new driver? I thought we were all taught by our ex CIA, Black opps, Navel seal, Green berea fathers how to drive?
They gave us the secret number for the federal marshals to get a real quick unload. Didn't you know that?
Some even came out of moma driving a truck in the bunk of a Peterbuilt.
Some never learned. They were given the keys and told to go.
Some went as far as taking a 1-2 week in class and 2-6 week class and driver training. To do this gig.
I can blind side like the best, yet let it rain a bit. I slow down on the interstate. Go figure. Nice thing about this job. It keeps giving a new challenge each day.202 N Main Street

Answer:

Yup,some peoples kids.
BTW what was YOUR contribution in that thread?
Answer:

the poster has no clue and should have never signed up for driving school if he can't understand something like what he is asked
you wouldn't try shifting a car from 1st to 3rd and expect it to go if you missed 2nd.
people with zero understanding of things mechanical shouldn't go to driving school
most guys could name every part inside an engine,spread out the parts on the garage floor and they would know what they are and they understand how an engine works
other people wouldn't be able to name one part and don't have a clue how an engine works,yet want to be truck drivers. They haven't a clue whats happening inside a transmission and nobody could ever make their mind understand whats goes on under the floor boards
trucking is a job for gear heads

Answer:
Zig, I am not following you all the way. Skip shifting is done alot. It is a huge fuel saver when one is light or empty. Not just randomly looking for a hole to put her in gives you no control.202 N Main Street

Answer:
Rabelam,
I gave nothing to the thread you brought up, it was already answered quite well, and then the poster got disgusted and left
People like you say " you wouldn't have asked a relatively ignorant question in the first place."
There are no ignorant questions just ignorant answers and ignorant buttwipes who belittle others.
Why must you, or whomever, be such jerks to a perfect stranger who is asking questions, asking for help, asking for information,
If the question is about transmissions reserve your answer to transmissions or shut the hell up.
About personal relationships in regards to the strain trucking puts on a marriage, answer the question or shut the hell up.
And about trucking, answer truthfully about YOUR experience in a thoughtful and POLITE manner or, you guessed it, shut the hell up.
I just know that this will fall on deaf ears as the perfect truckers out there are sure that they can do no wrong and that the world is waiting for the holy grail of your answer.
But
The next time any of you feel like whizzing in someones Wheaties, take Prozac and shut the hell up.

No not grouchy just getting real tired of people who have a bad case of cranial rectal inversion causing optical stoolitus.
Or in other word those that have their heads up their @ss and a $hitty outlook on life.

Answer:

Not to mention ignorant comments made by those who have seem to suffer the same malady they complain about. Anyone that is paying for an education
and asks an IGNORANT question is the buttwipe. Anyone that lacks the
the knowledge of the difference between ignorant and stupid is a buttwipe.

You may wish to follow your own advice Dave in this instance.
