They can't handle the truth

And be proficient with a standard transmission as part of the cdl requirements. That would help weed out the dumbasses

they cant handle the english language either@@kelvintorrence5994

Or watch Ike Stephens and Bonehead Truckers!

But their attitude is they went to school and have all the answers and experience needed. Seen it to many times.

That's such a great movie!

With the road rage epidemic today you don’t want to antagonize the other driver,especially one that drives a big truck.

You can't watch these safe films 2day,you would be in trouble, too many crybabies

You forgot to mention how we put our pants on, laying down hahaha

Shoot I still don't know how team drivers do it today. I tried it for about 4 months and even in the nice air ride cabs we have now you'll still hit bumps that launch you out of the bed. I could hardly get any sleep, and of course it didn't help that I didn't trust my co driver one bit.

O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Some things haven’t changed my friend. Some people still don’t like being around trucks or seem to think they’re the only good drivers on the road. No matter what, it still pays to be safe & courteous out there on the road. We can’t worry too much about the other people, we just need to focus on being the best & safest driver we can. My dad started driving back in the 1930s & I’ve heard many stories from him & both of my brothers. A good family tradition. Thanks for what you do. Blessings my friend.🤩😎✌️

Too bad the trucking industry is no good anymore.

@@tonyorsini5255 Maybe some truth to that but I'm going to do ok with a steady drivving job.

@@jaminova_1969 I really hope you do. Just be very careful out there. Take care and stay safe.

Get some good cameras and learn how to stop just enough to leave som skid marks but still turn the car that cut you off into a pancake

I remember working at A. J Bayless Food Market when I was a junior in Highschool in 74 and I would have to sweep and mop the floor before closing,and it was nothing to find scores of smashed cigarettes butts as smoking was allowed in about every public place,my how things have changed.

Yah and the Playboy magazine that he has too!

You notice everyone is smoking in this…

LOL:) One of my first jobs out of high school was doing package pickup and dock work at JCPenney's in Houston. Every morning it was my job to clean all the windows and the glass doors at both ends of the package pickup area, which was a sort of hallway between the parking lot entrance and the store entrance. About 15 feet of walkway windows, and two double all-glass doors at each end. Took me about 30 minutes to do them all, at least. One day I JUST finished about the time they unlocked the doors, and this woman came in with her brat in tow... Kid must've been a moron because he licked the glass from one entrance all the way down to the other and pressed his face onto and licked both sets of doors... I could've killed the little moron. Oh well, some people's children. I was like "I didn't see nuthin!" and went on to the back to go on to the next job...

​@lukestrawwalker random, but I once observed a small child crouched on all fours lapping water out of a hideous waterfall feature in a hospital lobby.

You realize that some of the drivers in this video were trained on the Smith System. The Smith System has been around since 1952. You would be well to adhere to the Smith System, because it is a good system. It has trained better drivers than you. You don't know what you are talking about.

The narrator is reading way too much into it! lol

And watch your diet, Jim. Just a couple Cheezburgahs and Sodie Waters and next thing you know, your stomach swells, your IQ drops fifty points and you start voting Democrat 😮😮😮😮

@@Edward-bd8iy Still Trump is the biggest idiot in the states... Only a moron can vote for this stupidity! Do you really want to elect one of the biggest idiots you have in the United States as president for a second time? The last time was a total disaster!

I was born in '80 and feel ancient

I was born in '60. We need that time travel device... along with NFL and other sports winners lists, horse winners, you know, Biff's magazine. Then some timely stock trades. We may die before Y2K, but our lovely younger wives and well-educated children/grandchildren will be well prepared for today's madness.

Tough sorry. Sorry for your family's loss.

Very sad for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss. That must have been so horrifically awful for your family. I can't even imagine.

What a heartbreaking story and what a waste. One of two things likely happened to the drunk tanker driver. Either he finally sobered up, which means he finally realized the error of his ways and felt the appropriate guilt for the pain he caused. Or he continued to drive drunk, in which case I can almost guarantee you he either ended up killing someone else or himself. A drinking problem is almost always progressive. You either stop drinking or it kills you. So take comfort in the fact that the truck driver may well have had a truly miserable life, filled with shame, guilt, poverty, loneliness and suffering.

Still true if you're an American Man and not Soy Boy.

That is a mid '60's model Emeryville.

And we thank you and wish more folks like you were on the roads.

Ahhhh, they don't make cars like in the old days. 😂

Synchromesh still not a thing, mind you majority are automatic now

@@juliogonzo2718Came here to say this

Things are different now from then. It is called Deregulation.

And safer at accident scenes without all the stupid strobing twinkle lights blinding the sh!t out of you! I was in my personal car coming through a wreck scene at night on time a few years back, and there were SO many d@mn twinkle lights strobing everywhere I couldn't see a d@mn thing once the cop waved me on at the entry to the wreck scene. I drove through about 5 mph and slammed on the brakes, there was a fireman in the reflective coat that came out of nowhere and he was only about 2 feet from my fender, couldn't see him to save my life even with the reflective stripes on his suit. H3ll of it is, every time you turn around, they're adding MORE twinkle lights to all these cop cars, ambulances, and fire trucks, and its just getting to the point its MORE of a danger than less of one... I can see having the twinkle lights on the cop cars at each end of the accident scene, but five or six cop cars, an ambulance, 2 fire trucks, and a wrecker all going at once, h3ll you don't have to be able to see it from MARS! Turn steady lights on like the takedown lights on the cop cars and loading lights on the ambulance and spotlights on the fire trucks, stuff like that which ENHANCES being able to see, not only for the guys working the accident, but the folks having to drive through there, so they don't hit anybody... It's crazy but that just seems like the only thing these agencies want to do is load up on the twinkle lights and blind everybody... Oh and these new LED street lights SUCK! They don't throw light around enough, just a spot on the ground right under it and a little fuzzy light around it out a little ways... sodium lights were much better at lighting up a wider area.

​@@lukestrawwalker"You are interfering with the FORCES OF NATURE, MISTER BEALE!!" Meaning, it's intended to help you have an accident so you can join the stats and create a narrative for... wait for it... MORE FUNDING! Great money racket if you can get in it...

The new halogen lights are blinding

Yeah, the Ohio state highway patrol cars too.

The credits at the end say the company that made this film was in Mansfield, Ohio. Probably why they slipped "Mansfield" into the dialog when the team drivers left the terminal.

Class and dignity were more prevalent when I was in first grade (1966). Even the big time twuck Dwivaw wore ties and dress clothes. The women of the time were beautiful, especially the church-goer types. And yes, God blessed them both in many ways...

Damm his trophy was 3 feet higher than my million miler glass paper weight lol

Anybody else ever see "Wheels of Tragedy" or "Mechanized Death"? We did in the Scout troop I attended.

The ELD's changed alot out here

Hey, could be worse. Like Barney Fife at the bottom of Twilley's Grade worse.

Lol

Hey buddy that lot lizard who drifted through the liquor store there will give you something that pills won't dry up... better leave that sh!t alone and get back to work. Oh and don't drink and drive LOL:) At least they didn't show them having a beer with the cops LOL:) Man I remember the 70's when I was a kid... my great Uncle Bill was a journeyman electrician, and a d@mn good one too... but he kept a cooler of ice cold Schlitz beer in the back of his truck at ALL times... first thing he did when he got off the job was pop a top. Even when he'd come visit my Ma-Ma, about every hour he'd get up and say, "I have to stretch my legs" and would walk outside to the back of his pickup and pop a top on a cold Schlitz beer or two... or three. who's counting. That used to be a thing back in the day. Now even having it on the jobsite in the parking lot will get you canned.

He does! 😂 hilarious!

Instead of toe fungus celebrated lol.

People are just generally stupider IMHO... Idiocracy is a thing. We live just outside a small town with a brewery. They have signs, BIG signs, with BIG lettering, telling truckers where to enter off the main highway to get back to the loading docks. Yet we've had two of these new CDL steering wheel holders working for these el guapo companies (See What I Fvcked up Today, among others) that managed to miss the entrance, and instead of going on into town and making the block or something to get turned around, cross the creek bridge in front of the brewery and turn onto the first little road they come to, which isn't even a thru street, but a little one-lane street in front of the city water works that ends up at the city maintenance barn at the other end of the block, at a one-lane T intersection... I guess they see the little old one-lane steel truss bridge that has been closed to traffic for 40 years because it can't support the weight of a car anymore, which is now painted up and decked out as a foot bridge between the brewery and the spillover parking lot on the other side, but which is too low for a truck to cross and the road is blocked by huge pipes full of cement at both ends of the bridge anyway to keep all vehicles off it because it's so old and flimsy. SO these idiots turn a long wheelbase extra-large sleeper tractor pulling a 53 foot van full of beer bottles, or try to, across this 10 foot wide culvert on a hillside with a steep drop off on the downhill side going down to the creek, somehow manage to keep the tractor on the culvert but the trailer tires totally miss the culvert and the RH trailer wheels go down the slope and the whole trailer flips over on its side, first one took the tractor with it when the the load shifted, the pallets of beer bottles broke through the side and piled up broken glass about 4 feet deep with the wrecked box trailer laying on top of it on its side, and flipped the tractor too. Second one, the load shifted and knocked the side out of the box as it went over, and the trailer disintegrated before it took the tractor over, though all it had left on the fifth wheel was a forward bulkhead and about 4-5 feet of trailer walls and roof, the trailer wheels and the rest of the totally collapsed box were laying on top of another pile of broken glass bottles about 4-5 feet deep. Stupidest thing I ever saw. For one thing, even driving a school bus I'd be hard pressed to turn onto that dinky road across that narrow culvert, it's that small... with a 53 foot van behind a long wheelbase semi, a guy would have to pull to the far guardrail of the creek bridge to have any hope of making the turn and keeping the tractor axles and trailer axles on the culvert. Secondly, you can see the other end of the road-- NOTHING there but a storm fence and a city water tank on both sides, at a "T" intersection, can't turn right to the brewery because of the one-lane bridge that's for foot traffic only and turning left from a one-lane city street with no shoulder to another one-lane city street with no shoulder and the storm fence of the city maintenance barn comes up to about 3 feet from either road at the corner... you'd have to pull out in the grass halfway up to the railroad tracks on the other side not to take out the storm fence to turn left. Then ANOTHER hard left onto a two lane city street with a funeral home with a car parked in front nearly all the time once you did. Just STUPID! I swear the harder they make these CDL's to get with all the hoops to jump through, the stupider the driver's they're getting... See this kind of ingnorance ALL THE TIME! I have guys hauling fracking sand and salt water tankers blow past my bus loading lights in the pre-dawn darkness who barely slow down, and that's AFTER I turn my yellow warning lights on a good quarter to a third of a mile before the stop!!! (30 seconds at least) I made a stop in front of a house to let some kids off and looked in my mirror to see a cement truck about to slam into us, I threw my arm across the aisle to stop the kids before they could get off and yelled "WAIT!!" because it's all I had time to do. I looked back in the mirror and saw him swerve into the oncoming lane missing my rear bumper by about a foot and he passed my driver's side window literally on two wheels-- I was looking at the underside of his cement truck because he was up on his LH wheels... I think he COULD have saved it if he'd have held it a second or two longer, it was starting to roll back down onto all the wheels but he tried cutting back to the right, not knowing if there was traffic coming towards him, and when he did it rolled right on over onto the LH side and slid right out into the ditch to a stop... He was fine... time I checked all my mirrors for more idgits that might have been behind him, ordered the kids to go STRAIGHT UP their drive and into the house, and then closed up the doors to turn the red lights off and pulled up and off the road onto the shoulder, he was standing up in the busted driver's window, looking for his phone, and stepping out through the windshield. Couple local farmers had already got out of their pickups and were helping him out. Turns out he had the cruise control on and was almost certainly playing with his phone, not watching the road. He was driving at least 65 anyway, hauling cement to a well site where they were concreting a well casing. Was a string of concrete trucks all day. People are nuts...

What...do... you mean, Yeoman?

Everday it's the truckers fault

Absolutely think pretty much the same thing....gotta be the most popular occupation for serial killers 😮

Nothing of the sort. Quit with that crap. You don't know what you are talking about.

You got that right.

Why do folks think unions are always a good thing? They’re not. Ask yellow freight drivers today.

@@daves2552Well deregulation started the downfall of every Union job, just to be replaced by todays underpaying unprofessional scab trucking companies .... I'm loving my Union retirement checks now .😊

@@daves2552 Yellow Freight didn't go out of business because of the union, they went out of business because of piss poor and greedy management. Do some research before you look ignorant.

@@crippleguy415 That is the truth. It ruined trucking.

That's just how many of them were then. Real women who cared about themselves and their appearance, and many of whom (not all but certainly more than now) were church members and you knew it.

The jazz music was just right.
