"For all you do."
I find it quite shitty truck drivers are never mentioned when companies and corporations do virtue signaling like this, ESPECIALLY when Covid hit.
While truck drivers were on the road hauling ass to get water and toilet paper to stores, nurses were on tik tok in empty hospitals (the same hospitals they told us were full to the brim) making dance videos.
Don't even get me fucking started on teachers.
This country would fall apart overnight without our truckers keeping gas stations filled and grocery stores stocked.
Ex truckers loose their seniority. In the corperate trucking world seniority means everything. When that lazy fuck looses his benefits he will be on the bottom of the list. All he will see for a while is shitty runs that none of the senior drivers want to touch. Good for him.
If hes non union it's all shitty runs
The AI cars wreck. AI trucks will have even bigger wrecks.
Driving a truck is definitely not a "lowly skill." Try backing a semi.
If you have any skill at all backing up a vehicle you can back up a double trailer, single trailer is harder except for distance. All this can be taught, except they will train any monkey from any country to drive nowadays. The truckers need to clean up as much if not more than the cops in this country. Yea, I know most car drivers are idiots, but a lot of big rig drivers are just as bad or worse. They just don’t give a fuck anymore.
Lowly skills? Lol! Let me guess, never driven a truck before. You left me know how tired you are after working for 14 hours, now how did you feel in that last 4 hour drive you took! I see four wheelers stretching in pain at rest areas. Rookies! Our number one skill is saving lives! I save more lives in a day than an ambulance worker. Four wheelers have no respect for distance it takes to stop a rig, your welcome, that trucker you just cut off saved your life by somehow not turning your car into a pop can. Lowly skills? Do you know the traffic laws in your state? How about all the rest of them? Think you're laws are a pain to memorize? CDL, doubles triples, hazmat, tanker. Yep no knowledge needed here. How about over sized loads. Ever read permits? All States differ no uniform laws. Your statement it's insulting and just ignorant. If trucks stopped moving you would be killing your neighbor for food in a week. Everything you own was on a truck at some point. Everything you want will be brought by a lowly skilled trucker. I'll take blue collar folks over white collar any day.
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than speak and remove all doubt"
^^^ THIS - spot on. Trucking is hard work.
How about remembering to pull over when there are (5) or more cars behind you. The old professional truckers remembered that rule. It seems the new ones forget that they are “professional drivers” and act like the lane blocking morons they are complaining about. How about a reawakening of your new drivers? You don’t walk on on water, it’s like the cops, start calling out your pricks first because you have plenty.
Cool stories, but automation is coming. Everything you want will soon be brought by a robot.
Don't worry - Those that aren't smart enough to pass the CDL can still become cops and hairdressers, so not much will change.
Just like internet shills. Bots lives matter.
Okay Handshake Doomer. Okay.
I would bet the only large heavy object you've ever driven that could endanger the lives of those in its way is an oversized horse dildo into your prison wallet whenever the opportunity presented itself to do so.
If you don't have a heavy vehicle license, you have absolutely ZERO idea of the level of concentration it takes to keep ~40 Tonnes moving with 18+ wheels and a length of 30m or more on a skinny piece of bitumen only 30% wider than your vehicle.
Momentum = mass x velocity.
Add wind, rain, traffic, poor surfaces and complete mouth breathers in their passenger beer cans to the equation and then say "easy as...".
Do the maths and think about what is really happening at 60 mph right next you in your 3 cent piece of shit hatch back.
Then ask your robot truck driver to prise you out of the front wheels when you've cut in, unlike the real driver that spotted every moron move you've made in their rear mirrors for the past two minutes and was waiting for you to claim your Darwin Award, but acted without you knowing to unfortunately circumvent what you really had coming to you. Don't thank them though.. just call them plebs that need to be replaced by machines.
Shut the fuck up Donny.
are we talking about homicidal truckers or machines
Just wait till your welfare stops
and then what?
Let’s get started on falsifying the false narrative of teachers as hereos. Perhaps back in the day when they made $25K and actually cared about teaching and thier students, but those days are long gone. Teachers, thier union and school boards are our enemy.
Why fuck around with that bullshit.
Cut it off at the head.
Abolish government mandated education.
The U.S. Government has no fucking business dictating what me and/or my family learns and or studies, or how we get our education. It's Private and you need to stay the fuck off my lawn.
Teachers were never heroes.
Agents of the state.
I typed that and deleted to see if some one else would say it!
NOT ENOUGH!
Absolutely - They are just as bad as politicians. Average in the district is over 100K with most getting pension enhancements when they go to retire. Several athletic department staff that are over 200K. They all get pensions. It's disgusting, when you compare that to the police department or others who deserve more.
The unsung heroes.
My youngest daughters fiance is a long distance truck driver. They come home to visit every few months. The hardest I think for them is when a company screws around and makes them wait hours before they can get the correct papers from the company they are dropping a load off to before they can leave or they don't get paid for delivering the load. Then they are literally stuck right there if his "time" for driving is up. They have no way to get to a restroom, get to a truck stop for gas, showers, food, ect.
Dude, try commercial construction! I can’t count how many holes in a set off $100,000 plans I have to make up for as the construction Superintendant. Everyone is a lazy half ass pretending that their actually doing their job
His driving time stops when he is at a loading dock.
I think he's referring to the stupid ill thought out reg that drivers cannot drive a minute over a certain amount of time no matter what for a rest period with no consideration for drivers' personal abilities or, as referenced above, the availability of a good stopping place.
Driving time stops, 14 hour clock keeps ticking.
very true
