These commandments are just a bunch of bullshit laws for you fucking beginners. I never heard of such a thing in the 35 + years of being in and around the industry. So basically, I'm telling you to go fuck yourself.

1. No need to scale everything if you can read a manifest, do math and understand how to slide tandems. Scale it if its close.

2. Totally disagree. I've only had 3 but I've trusted them and they've trusted me. We've worked as a team and it's worked very, very well.

3. Totally agree.

4. Totally agree.

5. Totally agree.

6. Totally agree.

7. Totally agree.

8. Totally disagree. Again, I take care of them and they take care of me. Just do what it takes to get the job done.

9. Totally agree.

10. Totally agree.

I agree woth some. Not all dispatchers are bad and putting that as a blanket already puts negativity and defense. How bout do your job, be an adult, stay safe.

One need to be... Show compassion and move over when you see a broken down truck or car on the side of the road. Especially if there's a worker there trying to get the truck back on the road to there family's.

#3 is crucial, especially if you're pulling a combination of vehicles. NEVER drive into an area that you can't back out of. I've seen drivers do this so many times. You need to get out of that rig and walk the route you have to take especially on construction jobsites. It's better to spend 10-20 minutes walking than a half day with a tow truck pulling you out of somewhere if there is a dead end. Also, check for soft ground when it's wet so you don't bury your rig up to the axles.
