[@philwilliams9243]

He is 100% correct. I’ve been hauling oversized loads since 1981. Drivers would give me space to pass or would give space when they passed. NOT anymore very small percentage of drivers give that little bit of safe space. No more flashing lights for a thank you are even a flash of lights to let you know you passed and safe to pull over. And those idiots in truck fast lane. YOU are causing problems on the road and giving professional and respectful drivers a bad name. Love your show. Let’s all do better.

You got that right hand

[@kitchenspider]

Its because our country is a revolving door for foreigners with no interest in establishing themselves here... they are here to funnel money back home until they either get into legal trouble or their green card expires, then they leave and try it again nexr year. I was waiting for a stall in the mens room the other day and some somalian walks out of one talkin that click-clack on his obnoxiously loud headset, lets the door slam in my face walking out without even washing his hands. I enter the stall, he didnt even flush it, and not only that, he took A FULL STACK of those toilet seat cover tissues and mummy wrapped half of them around one side of the toilet seat and half around the other and just left them there. Its especially bad in the northeast where they are trying to race you to a parking spot, never wait for you to back, try to cut around you when you are waiting for others, etc. I had one of those sikh guys fly in at like 40mph as I was carefully pulling out of my spot a few days ago... i was gonna turn left to leave and he pulled up 2ft from trailer and just stopped, refusing to back up, staring me down like he wanted some until i got out the truck with my hammer and realized i wasnt afraid to oblige him. There is no unity here, and there wont be until we stop allowing this behavior everywhere. It isnt all foreigners either. Some of this is homegrown, some of it is generational. I've seen it from gen z brats as well as Billy big riggin super truckers w/their long-nosed petes. I dont care who you are, and I'm at a point now where if you cause a problem for me or anyone else I'm gonna cause a problem for you, and it will be 10x worse 😅

I have been retired a year last Thursday. I started way before the CDL was even thought about. If you were broke down there would be 4 or 5 trucks on the side trying to help get you going. Now if you are broke down you need to get out your passenger door if you dont want to get run over because very few get over for you. There was none of this tearing of hoods and front bumpers off in the truck stops. None of this blocking the fuel pumps for whatever reason. Go in a truck stops with 8 or 10 pumps and they are all full with nobody pumping fuel. No respect for anybody. Hoorah for me and screw you seems to be the attitude. The real truckers are starting to disappear and these new ones are like he said steering wheel holders.

I think what he wants to say is that the new generation of drivers don’t have any ambition to learn or grow in this industry. No ambition to become what an actual professional driver should be. They don’t even care to understand what a professional driver actually is. They think it’s some sort of opinion. The new generation of drivers on the road think they’re better than the next guy. They think because they’ve been driving for a few months or a few years that they already know it all. They turn deaf when you try to teach them something. Unwilling to learn. This is where most people with actual experience and knowledge get frustrated and I think that they don’t know how to explain it or express it properly. There’s more to it. It goes deeper than that. It would just be too much to write down. New drivers need to have ambition to learn and become as much of a professional as possible. Not just “good enough”. There is no such thing as good enough. Anyone can drive a truck in a straight line and most can back a trailer. There’s way more to this industry than just that and you need to have ambition to learn it all.

THE NEW AND SOME OLD DRIVERS NEED TO SET A BETTER EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS/STOP THROWING YOUR TRASH OUT OUT THE REAR OF YOUR TRAILERS /USE THE TRASH CANS AT TRUCK STOPS

The dock worker is crying.

It takes more to drive a truck than a steering wheel. Just because you drive a stick shift doesn't mean you're God's gift of Truck Drivers. And that's part of the reason why drivers don't get along. They name call, film people who struggle, tailgate, and cry like babies on the CB.

New drivers when you turn on your turn signal that does not mean come right over as you turn it on

[@RonaldJordan-zx8ik]

I agree 200% with this Old style Driver, Start with Respect and Professional Attitude. Use your speed Control. Add a little for Passing only.

[@mrnobodz1]

been driving since 78. he speaks the truth. the people today think they know more than the old timers and some of them can't drive a single stick, so sad. as for the cb he right, people don't have them or use them. one reason for more wrecks during bad weather. I wonder how many could drive and live in the truck we drove back then. my first truck was a 68 international 4000 cabover 238 Detroit with 10 speed, no air ride seat, no ps.no air,vaccum window wipers. not much insulation, cold in winter and hot during the summer and a single sleeper.

The man is talking the right thing

[@treyfeeley2519]

He's right!! There is no respect or courtesy of each other! Everyone is selfish and doesn't think the rules apply to them(parking at fuel pumps) ! I shake my head several times a day watching drivers on the road and in the truck stops!

[@bill7778]

Alex!!! I thought he was going to say "when they took the stick and 3rd peddle away, they got neutered."

[@jimmycagnee65]

I’m a 55 year old rookie, but I do show respect and I operate with common sense. Cheers.

[@rodneydaniels5354]

He telling the truth

[@melvinmunson8331]

I love this Mutha Trucker Guy.I can't Drive anymore but I ran for 30 Years.I got some very bad Health News after My Mri.As long as I have a breath in my body I'll watch.They never give you the Lights when you pass no there's no Professionals anymore he's right.Dont expect to start at the Top you'll have to earn it like we did.Keep your Ducks in a row or you could work all week for free after the fines you'll get.Never leave it on the fuel island.Pay park and go in for a shower or whatever.Hes right Truck Driving is a 24 Hour a Day 7 days a week 365 days a year Job.If you don't have anything to do the guy waiting behind you does get out of the way so he can continue

Auto restriction is trucking's version of affirmative action.

[@TsoFly]

Understand this, Most old school truckers had a passion for trucking . It was all about putting the miles down in style and the industry thrived on professionalism. Trucking was an art. Now a days most drivers couldn't care less about the industry. Manual vs automatic, Pete vs Freighliner, boots vs flip flops, none of that matters.It's all about running up a bag by any means necessary and on to the next. Entitlement from old school and new gen drivers is one the many reasons why trucking doomed.

[@vendingdudes]

"running up a bag" is not an expression I've ever heard before

[@bonusbaby2271]

8 years driving, but I have been in a truck since I was 16 on the farm.. third generation, and my dad taught me simple respect and common courtesy. Their is barely another driver who is willing to help, make a convo, or let you know what's going on up ahead.

[@tulleynelson9386]

Another self appraisal 😂

[@timobrien3287]

He isn’t lying.

[@ybangalvan9760]

He’s right my dad started driving in 1973 @ 18 and is still driving today, he taught me the old school ways. No Flip flops, indicate with headlights when a driver can safely move over, give thanks with hazards AND STAY IN LEFT LANE EXCEPT TO PASS no matter how many lanes

[@tbyrd32able]

What sucks is that I'm not a new driver at all. Now, a lot of companies are doing away with the standard transmission. I miss changing gears

[@brianpatriot1144]

OH 1 more thing these Same steering wheel holders are also Driving our kids to and from school. Think about it. Real safe.

[@brettreines9749]

Been driving since 1996 own my stuff n hope everyone is safe

[@Peterblack12]

He's not lying

[@corderor6ify]

In all honesty i grew up in and around old school trucking but nobody wants to hear you complain be the change you wanna see.

[@hectortabar1709]

Straight facts

[@beatsbybam]

I’m a new school driver but I agree with this guy

[@martinjrangel7940]

That driver is on point!! Feel the same way

[@pankajpurushram1055]

When they block off the middle i pass them in the left lane ..

[@W96NZ]

Yup agree with him 💯 seen it today on I66 2 truckers going 65 and 64. Move out my way, I got a busy day.
