Yeah I'm on Twitter I get a few jabs in here and there with leftists

isn't it great?

Can be a lot of fun accept I got a Community strike for telling an old man to die already

tell your dispatcher you want a load that brings you across 90

I'm on 90 the load was dispatched weird so I'm on a different route to Oregon which is annoying

lol, go the other way

we have cheese

I didn't realize until I was already driving through montana I'm gone route them myself from now on though this is only my 3rd solo load

just out of curiosity...especially from teaching the salesman here how to drive a truck the other day...do you drive an automated??

Yes I do I didn't want to

did you take your test on it??

No I test for my license on a 10 speed

So I can drive one but this is the one the company gave me

the salesman here said if you take a test on an automated, you can't drive a standard

This is true

oh, really?? that wasn't the law in '10 when I took mine

They will put a restriction on your license

I mean I took mine on an 18 speed, but there was no restriction back then. That must be pretty new

I wouldn't know how new it is but the school I attended did no testing of any kind on automatics

They only test people on them for disabilities and the like

And the MVD has to do it

DOT

if I had that restriction when I got mine, i'd be screwed... I was a mechanic, and I had no idea what I'd be getting in and driving from day to day

Well as long as you test on a standard you would be fine

I think I just sold something to one of your owner/operators

I work for Eagle KMC under contract with werner

oh...I thought you were a swiftie

nevermind

Oh hell no

I do know a werner driver though, too. A guy I grew up with

In my training alone half of the accidents I saw were swift drivers

well, that's a number's game, too

Swift is the biggest trucking company in the country...of course they'd have the most accidents

I know it's still a good joke to have

it is

oh, my call is coming up

or rather...video

Werner is pretty bad too every terminal I drive into has damaged tractors and trailers

doesn't surprise me

you should come drive for Marten

My plan in the long run is actually to move up north at some point so I need to find a company that will allow me to do that I can't see myself doing the over the road thing forever that was quite apparent to me when I started training
