{"replyToPid":0,"replyTo":"","text":"    A few things not to do. If you see a truck in the mirror coming up passing the pack your in, don’t cut out in front of him. Let him by, it’s a good way to tick someone off. If your out in the left lane trying to pass a truck that is going  1/2 to 1 mile per hour slower than you are, and see a truck coming up behind you faster than your driving, slow a bit pull back in and let him by. Most if not all company trucks are governed at a certain speed, while some, like mine have no speed limiter.  And don’t some come back with speeding or the law, every one breaks a speed law, whether it’s 1-2 mph over, or 5-7 over."}

{"replyTo":"","text":"It is tough at first, but hang in there it gets easier. Make an extra effort to stay in touch with family and friends. Trip planning is important, so learn how to do it. Do not shy away from backing, one of the best pieces of advice I ever received when I first started, came from an old timer. He told me to practice doing at least 2. 45° backs a day until I get it down. After 37 years of pulling a flat bed, I have had to back into some crazy places to get loaded and unloaded, I thank him every time. With experience, it gets better, as does the pay.","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"I'd come up with words of wisdom but really, you should understand what brought you to driving to begin with and what do you hope to get from it. It's tough at times for even the most seasoned and it's tough on a relationship at home. There are going to be times when you can't trust your directions and times when you find yourself in a place you shouldn't be. The road life is full of temptations and some people that are truly terrible people simply because they don't know any better.","replyToPid":0}
