Trainer on truck drinking and parking at strip clubs

Her? That seems odd to me. Having a drink on a 10 hour break isn't against rules if she's not doing it in the truck. Is she getting drunk or just enjoying a drink with dinner? There is a difference.

PSA, DO NOT ASSUME THE FEMALE DRIVER NEEDS OR WANTS YOUR HELP

Let's see...older woman wearing red shirt, black jeans and purple chucks. Probably wearing the same bejeweled horn rimmed glasses in your profile pic.

Sounds like you're trying to stand out in a crowd and be noticed. Happens all the time with certain types. Look at me! Look at me! Then when a guy looks at you, you cry foul!

Try wearing a more age appropriate outfit. Maybe along the lines of a spiffy Hillary Clinton style pant suit and you won't be looked at or offered any help.

Best options to get my cdl

You only have a certain amount of time to use your GI Bill benefits. Whatever you do, don't let them go to waste. You earned them.

You'll have plenty of time to think about any classes or additional training you'd like to learn while you're driving. Figure it out and use your GI Bill later if you can't do it now.

I see where you're coming from but you may be making too much out of it.

Some men are raised to help women. It doesn't necessarily mean they're interested in you.

And the fact that you're both working for the same company means you have something in common. Kinda like you're his 'sister' in the industry.

Worst city to drive a truck in?

I never drove thru NY city but the company paid extra if we ever had to. I think it was $200.

I used the GI Bill to pay for my school. Keep in mind you have to pay out of your own pocket initially but will get reimbursed.

After completing school I was able to research and choose the company I wanted to apply for. They, Maverick Transportation, also offered tuition reimbursement. So in the end I actually got paid to go to school.

Atlanta and Chicago. Hard to choose just one.

Are CB radios actually useful in 2023?

I mainly used mine to figure out which lane to be while in heavy traffic. I also spoke to a guy at a truckstop diner who told me his saved his life.

He was having a heartattack about 2 in the morning. All he could do was call for help on the cb. By the grace of God someone else was listening and was able to get medical personell to his location. He said he would've surely died if not for that.

Other than for traffic updates I rarely used mine. I got tired of hearing all the *****ing, moaning, complaining and cussing on the airwaves.
