Good Post by Female Trucker

Cripes...I have to vent this frustration I have! I joined trucking as a way to make a decent living. I am new to this profession, however as a woman I am very familiar with negative talk. However, the spewing that I hear on the CB against Blacks, Hispanics, Homosexuals, Women, and other truckers is horrible!If we can't respect other people in this world how can we expect people to respect truckers?!

Why must we entertain ourselves this way... see I think it's a kind of entertainment and not just behavior. I think as truckers, we need to come together rather than apart.

just a thought

Hounded about jobs!

It looks like the market these days is crazy... just about everyone is hiring as usual, but I think it's getting to be dog-eat-dog out there. The trucking companies just can't keep up with all the turnover. I think they need to make the driving environment and the job itself a more pleasant one or they are not going to draw more ppl into this workforce.

Tell me what you hate most about driving.

Ethos Fuel Reformulator (FR) Increase Fuel Mileage

I saw an ad for this: Ethos Fuel Reformulator (FR) Increase Fuel Mileage and it says that some guy increased efficiency by 27% and was wondering if anyone had any experience with this product... it would definitely help the OO's out there.

Metacafe

Has anyone looked up some trucking stuff on metacafe... I saw this one guy drifting in his tractor and it was some pretty impressive driving. It was on a dirt track it seemed which makes it a lot easier but you just don't see ppl drive rigs like that. I remember I saw this truck overturn in front of me and he hardly was pushing the thing. It's nice to see the capabilities that one would have without the darn trailer on the back.

Stop Driving!

Everyone out there wants you to drive, but a friend of mine recently quit his driving job and became an agent. He loves his new job and is making a lot more money not to mention the hours. At some point it gets old not seeing your family. I am glad I am retired! When I was on the road, the truck stops just started to blur together for me and I couldn't tell when one family event happened and the other stopped. They all became one memory merge.

If your career ends :(

Many truckers don't know how to do anything but drive a truck. What is something happened to you that disabled you to drive a truck but not enough to get you some disabled pay. It's just a thought... I had a buddy have this happened to him and was wondering if anyone out there in www land had any suggestions.
