Lessons learned from truck driving school

I recently had the opportunity to go to school to learn how to drive a tractor trailer. What I learned was more than I expected. First, don't forget that everything in your life is brought to you on a truck. Trucks are the real heartbeat of our economy. Second, be respectful. Many car drivers are the most disrespectful, dangerous idiots I have ever seen when around trucks. One day I was out driving and a car cut in front of me, and I had to quickly brake to avoid hitting this driver. My truck was empty; if it had been full I probably would have crushed the car. Car drivers must respect trucks of all shapes and sizes, give them room and be patient with them. If they are moving slowly it is because they are carrying 80,000 pounds. If you ever meet a trucker, thank him or her for the jobs he or she does. Remember that phone in your hand or the clothes you're wearing might not be there if it wasn't for truckers.
