{"text":"It’s crazy as hell to me that the majority of old farts in the game have such an negative attitude towards new drivers. We are all on the same dangerous roads.

I have my CDL.”\n\nSo... 😳🤣 It’s the ’ease’ of the profession at entry making over confident egos and the more experienced drivers saying, “hold on, your training hasn’t even started yet.”","replyToPid":0}

I can understand at night kinda but in the middle of the day go find a parking spot.  We used to never have this back in the early days. It's  not all young ppl doing it either.  It's you ppl from another countries also.  So please stop it geez.  Go park and stop pissing on the fuel islands.","replyToPid":0}

1273704 发表于 2021-07-26 15:31:41 Totally agree. But with the road being so dangerous don’t you think it would be better to embrace to new generation of truckers and teach them instead of instantly thinking they are against the trade?

","text":"That is not what came to mind. I never thought of any trainees as ‘against the trade’ just a little too cocky in not allowing themselves to be ‘trainable’ in order to be the best they can once on their own.\n\nDid you know, that our profession has an annual turnover rate of anywhere between 90% to 120% + ?\n\nProper training will greatly increase the success of a new driver, but the driver must be receptive and cooperative to instruction.\n\nSadly, I myself was one of those we are talking about when I came into the industry. A change occurred in me only after several incidents and accidents and tickets within my first couple of years. Then I understood, that living and working out here for weeks at a time requires a system of logic for survival. (as in successful operations)\n\nWhen a good trainer who wears his or her heart on their sleeve and truly cares about passing on trade tips and tricks and it is ignored or insulted, then that is where some of the friction on this topic comes in.\n\nThe next time you have a chance to listen to two or more trainers talk, listen carefully to what they are saying between the rude insults and name calling. Listen to the ‘reason’ that is not being communicated and the moral of the experience. I think that would help you better understand the dynamic. It is no different an attitude that you will find in other trades, or even the military.\n\nIt is just talk. Its cheap. It is also a ‘passage of rites’ just as any fraternization would yield.","replyToPid":437679}
