Current Events > Anyone here drive semi trucks? Or know someone who does?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I just got done with my first day of Truck Driving School.
Most of it is common sense so far.

BIG TRUCKS ARE BIG AND DANGEROUS!

God I love semi trucks, they just have so much potential to be the absolute best. With huge trucks, wide load bed rails, and oversized tires, its only a matter of time before manufacturers find a way to turn semi trucks into a super fun, super capable, super cool mobile amusement park.

At least thats the idea behind the Ford Transit-Vans new Verve model, which has been fully re-imagined by Fords new design studio, Studio X. The vehicle is aimed to be both a serious utility vehicle, capable of transporting stuff and people, and a crazy new kind of fun, cool, and capable truck, and has many of the features one would expect to find on a modern amusement park vehicle.

As for who is responsible for this redesign, Ill leave it to Jim Farley, Fords group vice president of global marketing, an absolute genius.

Was interested in it last year. Wanted a career change. Single, got no kids. Figured maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing driving and traveling.

This is pretty much why I wanted to do it.
Drivers are in hot demand right now.

My older brother and my nephew both went to truck driving school and make alot of money driving trucks. They also get to travel all over the country. My nephew recently bought his own semi truck.

I did for a little bit. 48 foot trailer. It makes you pucker your butthole more when you pass an 18 wheeler in a normal car.

Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.

I'll take a ticket. Where am I headed?

My brother just started doing it. He's been back and forth all over the country these past few weeks.

Caused his debit card to get deactivated for potential fraudulent activity. So maybe call your bank up and let them know they are about to start seeing activity that wasnt normal.

Or maybe our (we use the same bank) bank is just super strict about it. They tried doing that to me just cause I let my mom use it to order pick up from Wal-Mart a few times where as I do my own shopping in the store.
