FFE/KLLM. So Unprofessional!!!!

I previously posted this fable about 4 months ago:

Once there was a truck mechanic named Ty Changer. Ty has been working on 18 wheelers almost since tandems were invented. He spent his days servicing OTR trucks that stopped in.

One day, while changing oil on a Freightliner, the driver asked Ty, "I've been thinking about switching companies to QuikTrans Trucking. You talk to your driver customers, have you heard anything about how they treat their drivers?"

"Let me think." Ty replied. "Say, how does your current company treat their drivers?"

"That's why I want to move on. There's all these rules we need to follow. I can't get the home time I really need. And they force dispatch New England all the time."

Ty looked at the driver, and stroked his chin. "From what I've heard, QuikTrans is a lot like that. But you need to make your own decision. Here's your truck keys. Thank you for your business."

Later, another driver stopped in. He needed new steer tires on his Kenworth. Ty was happy to oblige. The second driver spoke up, "I've been thinking about switching companies to QuikTrans Trucking. You talk to your driver customers, have you heard anything about how they treat their drivers?"

"Let me think." Ty replied. "Say, how does your current company treat their drivers?"

You know, my company has a set of rules for drivers. The rules help to keep us safe, make our jobs consistent, and we all understand what's going on. I get home every couple of weeks, but the rest of the time they keep me driving. Every once in a while I get sent to New England, even New York though. It's really not a bad company but I think WuikTrans might pay a bit better.

Ty looked at the driver, and stroked his chin. "From what I've heard, QuikTrans is a lot like that. But you need to make your own decision. Here's your truck keys. Thank you for your business.

Question for you: Which driver would be happier at QuikTrans?

I rest my case...

ZZZZZzzzzzz. huh, sorry was this important words from some wise old man?

This must be nasty week, what with know-it-all Kopan and clueless, self-important Rex. Well, this is Rex's topic here.

First off, Rex, you get lots of replies (that you feel are negative for the most part) not so we can poke fun at a clueless rookie, but to disabuse you ( do you understand what that means? ) of your own self-importance. A clue for this notion is your name calling and the negative generalizations you use. (As a group, drivers are not a mass of nasty smelly cheeseburger eating assmonkey fatsos, for one.)

I explained your mind set ( do you understand what that means? ) early on, with that fable of two different drivers and the mechanic Ty Changer. You must have slept through that, and you don't get it. But it has lots to do with the chip on your shoulder that you refuse to acknowledge.

It's interesting you describe your KLLM school experience as surviving a pit of assmonkeys, yet two weeks later "school was a cakewalk". And you still drive, and make VERY good money. So which is it? It looks like you learned something in KLLM's training division after all. And after two weeks now, you decide you are making the money you wanted to make. I'm so glad a brand new rookie has found a company that can get you your miles and bucks right out the gate. I must have made a mistake by signing on with Swift.

Now stop trying to pick fights and stop with the name calling. Be a professional driver now, like the great majority of drivers are.

Rex, I've yet to see the first indication that you have an ounce of professionalism in you. You haven't shown a bit of diplomacy, you have no idea how to talk to people, and you insult anyone and everyone that comes within range.

Quite honestly it's the pot calling the kettle black. You insult everyone around you because they talk and act the same way you have. I'm not at all impressed. I don't know why anyone would be.

It must be troll week. A major troll who has clear self esteem, ego, and anger problems.

Rex, I suggest a psychologist that can recommend some anger management classes and maybe pills to deal with your other problems. There is clearly something extremely wrong if you feel obligated to come to a forum, post a trucking school experience, and then attack everyone else who responds. You're not a professional, you're the type of trucker professional truckers wouldn't touch with the back end of a 53' trailer. Someday, you're going to be old and any elderly person can tell you that they've definitely gained weight with age. You're going to be old and bitter instead of old and wise if you keep going at the same rate.

And, for the safety of others with your clear rage issues, I hope you get pulled off the road soon.
