If Kev leaves, can we get Steve Booth to come back?
It wouldn't be the same without somebody for everybody to kick around.

I was not suggesting that Kevin leave the board. But I was suggesting very strongly that he has very little knowledge about the other people on this board. He would do very well to take some very serious lessons from those that have been doing this for years.
When he was taught to drive, all the learning in school, it didn't come from a brand new high school graduate. It came from the culmination and compilation of years of experience. Then, when he comes to this board, he's confronted by more years of experience and puts up a mental block to learning from it. By doing so, he makes his future years that much harder. It's not a good way to start out. And, for the next 3 years, that's exactly what he is doing... Starting out. Leaving the board is not the right answer. Adjusting his own attitude to be able to learn from the experience available here would be a far better choice.

What you say may be true, but if you read it again, I had said "SCHOOL", not the time with the trainer. I know better. The information he was given at school should have the benefit of far more experience than I, or some of the others here, have. As I said, a culmination and compilation. It's a "collective learning" that he should have been given the benefit of.

What is that avatar? Hey boy, Put the peashooter away before you blow your toes off trying your Quickdraw McGraw impersonation. You came to this board pointing out how you had a picture on your cell phone of your mentor driving with a cell phone in one hand and qualcom in his lap and how you were going to use it to get him fired. Nobody gave a crap about you then and nobody gives a crap about you now. You started this thread asking about where the best freight was. Why? So you could only take loads to these regions of the country when the weather was nice? Swift has 1000's of trucks. You are a very small cog in a great big wheel and they already have someone in their training program who could take you place. You expounded on how you drove from Chicago to Greenbay in the blowing snow and high winds. There isnt a single hill from Chicago to Greenbay, My 5 year old nephew could have made that drive. As you close the internet window for CAD hopefully it slams shut on your fingers. Dink.
