Truckers are the epitome of hard working, family lovin’, proud Americans. Some say they are the backbone of our country and without them none of our most basic and essential needs would get to us. Well, if you agree with those sentiments then do we have a show for YOU!

This exciting new adventure race will not only feature the best truckers America has to offer but also the awesome rigs they accessorize as well

Bright Light Courtesy

Jack — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 19:29:18 +0000

Who the heck started teaching truck drivers to use their bright lights to show courtesy to other drivers? Has common sense gone out the window? There are so many reasons for drivers to not use bright lights to show a sign of courtesy!

First of all…it not only blinds the driver that’s passing, it also blinds oncoming traffic. When a driver is passing, they usually look in their right hand mirror about the same time one of these idiots use their bright lights to signal them over. Is it that hard to figure out green horns?

Next…do you drivers, who use bright light courtesy, know how much it costs to replace a dimmer switch in trucks these days? Try, hundreds of dollars, goof balls! It only costs a few dollars to replace the on-off switch. Quit being so darn lazy, steering wheel holders!

Finally…It wouldn’t be right without trying to teach the drivers how to do it the right way. So here it is! When another truck is passing you, wait for it to clear, then, use your headlight switch…on or off, depending if its daylight or at night, to signal the passing driver over. If your headlights stay on continuously, use your CB or don’t do anything at all. It’s all about common sense and doing your job the right way. Let’s get it together drivers!

The three C’s in truck driving

Communication: Much of the stress and arguing between drivers is due to lack of communication. Turn on the CB’s drivers, talk nice to one another and you’ll be amazed at what we can accomplish! If you don’t want to hear a lot of trash, turn your squelch up so you only hear others in close proximity.

Cooperate: Cooperation between each other goes a long way drivers! When we are more patient with each other and try to solve issues as adults, we start to come together for the good of the industry. That’s when things will start to change. Remember, divisiveness is a sure path to failure!

Consideration: Have consideration for others as we do our jobs. Patience, understanding, and respect towards others can change the way we are perceived as truckers. Our public image is very important to the trucking industry.
