Glad I didn't have to pay for this
Thank you, Pete. I failed as a political commentator, so I'm trying to switch to humor. Much less controversial.
10,000 comedians out of work and you're trying to be funny !!!

Lying Recruiters And The Dirty Lies
Our young friend is displaying a classic case of NARCISSISM. He lives in a self-made bubble and the world revolves around him. He cannot accept truth unless it jives with what he believes, yet he rarely accepts any truth because he obviously knows it all already. We're wasting our time trying to talk sense with this guy, we live outside his bubble.

I’m very hearing impaired and need a really good Blue Tooth device for communicating while driving. Looked online and there are too many choices. I need real world advice.
Thanks

I did the search thing here on the forum and on-line but couldn't find anything definite about needing an endorsement to drive a flatbed.
Flatbed experts please chime in.

A Trucker's Wife is Baffled HELP
The part about him NOT REMEMBERING HIS PASSWORD really hit a nerve here. When I just now signed on with Schneider the first thing I did was show my wife how to get access to everything I'll be doing while driving. She got my driver number and password and can see my settlements and pay statement.
I sincerely do not believe he has forgotten his password, surely he has it written down somewhere?? If he forgot it he can replace it with a new one any time he wants to.
Something is shady here because it seems he doesn't want you to see his settlements and pay statement.

Finished Schneider's driver training yesterday (9/21/18) and passed all my skills tests, although I had a lot of trouble with blind side 90° docking. I'm glad to get it over with, it's been a tough 3 weeks for this old man. Last night in Dallas they had torrential rain all night long, driving home this morning I had the same type of rain all the way from Dallas to Huntsville, what we call a "frog strangler" in TEXAS. I'll pick up my truck here at the Schneider Houston terminal about 15 minutes from my house. At my age (almost 73) the Costco dedicated is the perfect match for me, 100% no touch drop and hook. My TE says he averages 2800 miles a week doing the Costco runs so I should be getting plenty of time behind the wheel. The Schneider training is very good, but also very fast paced. We lost a couple of classmates early due to legal issues they "forgot" to mention on their application but we wound up with 18. New classes start every week, lots of people are trying to get into trucking. Schneider is also currently transitioning to tablets to replace the QualComs. The tablets are supposed to be a lot easier to use, I'll get mine next week.

The devastation of smoking
Had a boss that had been off of smoking for over 30 years, and if someone lit one up in our group he'd have to walk away because he told us even after 30 years smoke free he wanted one like crazy, he was still hooked on those nasty things.
