I give up. What a b1tchy little gurly boy you are. You have no respect for anyone or anything. How do you know the driver in question hasnt already checked his maps and gps and is just confirming with local drivers who know best how to get in there? Theres more than one way to find something and some of us dont get all scared of everything little thing. You're such a scared little poosy about everything and anything I cant believe you got the balls to drive the big scary truck!:rofl::rofl::rofl:
Dont delete my post Rev I used the smiley thing to take the edge off. Even though its true! and as far as S and T leading me down the wrong roads, etc...i always double check the directions i get from the Q-Comm and S and T against the road atlas low clearance section. But hey, why stop there.....say i get stuck under a bridge, and i do everything right up to that point, can i show the cop the road atlast and say "see, this bridge says 13'7"....yet i'm stuck, its not my fault." There a problem with asking a fellow driver for directions? Not at all....just dont do it around me. =) If you know the general area, and i give you some BS directions.....then you should KNOW they are BS....and not listen to them, yeah?

10-4  the closer it gets to opening day, the more giddy i get. =) I want to be around the area for opening day, cause i want to go down to IMS and see the 'night glow' for the hot air balloons they'll have to celebrate their 100 years.

i've never once had a shipper have to call my company because i was 'unprofessional'. I've actually had a few call because i helped them out moving trailers around, which helps me get loaded faster, but it helps the other drivers get loaded faster too. why would i move trailers out of docks? cause the other drivers were too lazy to help out the shipper. ....boo hoo.....

Not a good idea to turn right....cause this is what happens. YouTube - Gordon Smiley horrific fatal Crash @ Indy 500 1982
I sure remember that.........my senior year in high school. I was sitting in Turn 2 with my Dad.

Being a PROFESSIONAL is more the just kissing a customer's ass! It is also having RESPECT and HELPING YOUR FELLOW DRIVERS! Regardless if they are OTR or local drivers! Come down off your "soapbox" there NEWBIE!
