{"replyTo":"","text":"nah, I'm gonna keep on trucking. one mistake doesnt define a whole career. I was a little shaken up when I posted this, and I thank all the drivers who gave advice on the situation as a whole. I have the weekend off before I do a safety course and I'm going to bring some things up to my company's office people, and I'm also taking full responsibility for just not being cautious enough. im going to tentatively say, \"lesson learned\" and move on with a new and safer mentality.","replyToPid":0}

803898 发表于 2019-09-13 18:27:32 see, that's my first instinct, but I got in serious trouble for it in driving school, and my driver mentor was always tripping on me about it. I dont get it. I'm just going to slow down before the off ramp and if it gets me a ticket like some drivers say it will, I'll just take the ticket to court.

","text":"You won’t get a ticket because you have to be at that speed by the time you get to the sign. My mentor never complained. Some are just idiots who only want money and don’t care about teaching properly.","replyToPid":207311}

I doubt it. \n\n45k lbs of beer kegs in a reefer unit. heavy wind hitting a flat wall... I wonder what kind of force that puts out?\n\nI know guys who have been running for 15 years plus, who wont even take their rig out if the wind is over 35mph. \n\nI dont need your sarcasm. it's probably why your ex wife doesnt talk to you anyways. \n\ndont act like you jumped on the road and day one you were just a master trucker. this was the fourth day of my solo career.

","text":"If you’re getting hit that hard pull over at first safe place and send macro 22 if you’re Swift driver. You will not be fired for being safe. On the other hand you can and will be fired for unsafe practices. Do you have to do what you feel is right because you are the driver. If you are uncomfortable or feel unsafe at any time, then you do what you feel is safe and let your driver manager know and send your macro 22. They were either reschedule your load or set you up for a tcall ","replyToPid":207376}

{"replyTo":"","text":"Driver you got to do what’s best for you. Your company, and every other company, to them you are just a number and you can be replaced. I’ve been driving for 25 years and I have always done what’s best for me and being safe and legal. Driving takes patience and if you’ll have patience, you’ll get the experience. Knock on wood, I’ve never had an accident because I’m going to be safe no matter what. If your company pushes you and it’s not safe, then it’s not the right company for you. You can search and find someone who will hire you. It may not be what you want but it will get you experience. ","replyToPid":0}
