great article man thanks for the post - Texting while trucking
Great article Steve. I am wtiting this while I drive. JK Jen is driving. Common sense is hard to come by anymore. To much money gets pored into studies to tell us that there many people who need an “I’m Stupid” sign on there head. - Long haul serial killers

Thank you for reading and sharing brother.
Dude, I get your tweets, and although you do send out some pretty ridiculous stuff this had some value, heh. I am in CDL school, and I have found it to be challenging. The ALLEY DOCK move is pretty tough to get the hang of!! Anyways, I do hope to get out there in the world and dos ome trucking. Keep sending out those good tweets!!
Thanks my brother, I Know I clown around a lot but I am always serious about trucking. Which is part of the reason I clown so much I need a out. I do put out some none retarded shit every once in a while. Take care brother.
Beautifully written. Very nice vignette of you and your Dad. (There should be a movie about him, you, 3 generations of safe trucking.)
If you ever had to moonlight, you’d make a stellar instructor. The TruckerSteve Driving Institute. Has a nice ring to it.
Seriously, bravo. It is no stretch to think that such blogs can make a real difference just by reinforcing the message in such a straight-on way. Kudos.
Thank you, Paul and I were talking about this a couple weeks ago after some trial and error Im using microsoft streets and trips with gps I dont need internet to use it, it is nice because its as much an atlas as anything else I still have to look at the book to see scales and truck routes… Ive made a few wrong turns and even had a police officer stop traffic for me cuz I was an idiot that day he helped me out and gave me the best route to get out of where i was Ive learned that it is valuable to always call the destination for the best route and my little 4.00 truckstop guide is completely invaluable
I know what your saying, I too have ran with microsoft streets and trips not exactly for directions but really to find out what is around FOOD and such I think it is a great tool. Take care CHAD
First off I’d like to say you and Sean are awesome.
Second I leave for an orientation to work for Swift, is there any advice you can give me about trip planning including expanding on what you’ve already mentioned. If you could email it to me I would greatly appreciate it.
Trucker Steve ROCKS!!!
Sean and I accept your kudos, thank you for that my brother. Tell me how swift works out for you, if you need any advice along the way make sure to call me the number is on my website.
yeah great advice Steve, yes think you should run a tutorial or something about it.
as even though I will kind of be a newbie when I get my licenses, I will have the advantage over others as in a lot will have been taught to me by my grandfather, and his drivers. (but think I need a refresher, as most of what I learned was from before the early 90’s!!)
Thanks brother, I should work on it at some point it will be a long one! Video format would simplify it I will have a tutorial at some point as well. Take care Michael
Great read, well written and helpful. Good stuff.
Thank you very much, I have been enjoying reading your blog and intend to keep up with your blog.
Yes, please do a trip planning tutorial! It’s really hard to find good info on trip planning. Thanks Steve!
Steve
hey..i just glance at the map and sorta see what direction i am supposed to be going and use my compass to get to my destination.
10/4 driver, thanks for letting me know how you get down! How are you doing anyhow, what terminal you out of?
Man, i am doing good.. i get more than 1,000 miles a week. My trainer said I was the best student EVER!!! I only took off one mirror on the truck so far and he thinks that is a record setting performance. I am out of the Maryland terminal. I run the whole northeast portion of the country.
Thanks for you channel and your support of all of us new drivers out here..
SwiftDriver…
Jeezz Steve im glad I didnt make that kind of a mistake when you were training me back in 2007 you were a great trainer had lots of fun I still work for May Trk local
Josh- DUDE, thanks for checking out my website bro. You never would have done this you where always a great driver. I have missed you man how have you been doing?
Hi i was wondering if you still drive for swift? And how is swift? iam going to oreniation for swift on the 15th of june? thanks matt
Awesome… LOL Sweeeeeeeeeeeet
there are so many options of what a driver can do and should not do that after a while it really is sad to see videos like this. keep your mind open ,think, use some common sense , make something up ,do something random , do as you please, there is always another way to do this job but if you are locked onto only one, then you will lose sight of all the others and this stuff happens
You never disappoint,man. Half of the time,you are “bat shit crazy” but you know when to get serious. Thanks for all the information you put out there.
Steve i love to read your blog, iam thinking of going to school to drive myself, i too had a father that was a truck driver, i always went with him durring the summer, i truly enjoyed it . i have had my family and children are grown and i really want to get out there, the company i have been thinking of training with is in dallas (stevens transport) do you know anything of them? i do know my other half is going to freak on me but he worked out of town for 18 years and i was with the children at home and now that they are grown im bored and want adventure. and i love to drive….what ya think?
I am up in Surrey, BC and yet to get my first trucking job. I've Been licensed since September 2008. What are the things rookies need to know about when working with their driver trainer and how do I get the best out of my driver trainer?
