Bullheaded Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 This is kinda related so I'll say it.......a friend and I had a conversation the other day and we both said we think one of the biggest problems on our highways today is the invention of the automatic transmission in class 8 trucks. They shouldn't even be allowed. Think about it.......back in the day, you had to have at least a sliver of talent or skill to drive a big rig. If you couldn't shift, then everybody knew, maybe this isn't your thing, or at least you MADE yourself a driver. Now, hire any new comer to the country that can drive a Toyota Prius, has a pulse and can sit upright in a seat and throw 80,000 plus pounds on and away you go! You're a trucker now! Until it all goes terribly wrong when you realize that big rig doesn't stop or handle like your Toyota. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72734-couldn%E2%80%99t-resist/#findComment-529286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 from what I'm seeing when passing big rigs is the fear all the highway signs will be getting changed to a different language sooner than expected. also seeing how the "professional drivers" are getting worse then 4 wheelers.. too many cross 2 =3 lanes to exit highway as they pass the exit with obviously no regards to anyone on the highway with them. bring back the days of manual transmissions AND ALSO road maps NOT telephones telling when to turn. felt bad after 50 yrs of having a CDL day I gave it up, now maybe it was a good move. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72734-couldn%E2%80%99t-resist/#findComment-529300 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 i am pushing 54 years on the road. if i was not bored sitting home i would quit. sitting in the truck is pretty much the same as sitting home, but i get paid to sit on my keister and do nothing. 2 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

mowerman Posted April 22, 2023 Author Share Posted April 22, 2023 Oh no I love to throw this around 15 more months brother and yes, I see some very rude steering wheel holders for one thing they need to lower our speed limit 80 mile an hour. Big rigs tailgating the shit out of cars that don’t feel like driving that fast. That’s bullshit. Not to mention no class and no manners. It’s not your road truck monkey get it.?????? 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/72734-couldn%E2%80%99t-resist/#findComment-529719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
