What is YOUR definition of a "steering wheel holder"

My employer doesn't have CB's in their trucks, and they don't allow you to make any modifications. I prefer to run without one anyway. Nothing but gibberish on it nowadays.

 

"Steering wheel holders" are the same in every profession. They're the ones just going through the motions until the end of the day. Most will only do the bare minimum that is required of them and sometimes, not even that.

 

I used to watch the races...big fan of the King, Richard Petty. Anyways, I heard a television announcer call race car drivers, "athletes". Hmmm, what's athletic about holding a steering wheel and putting the right pedal to the floor? Anyone can do that.

Well, I built a car to do a cannonball. Took the car I built out on the track. 5 mile road course. I cranked up the Iron Maiden and started to race. Man, talk about stressful. I had to turn the radio off to concentrate. The car, my car, hit 192 mph. Trying to run consistent laps whipped me bad. 3 laps, and I missed a turn and went into the grass. At triple digit speed. Wow...anyone can do it, eh? Boy was I wrong.

A driver can drive. Most people drive well enough to pass the bare minimum test and they never better themselves. What is a steeringwheelholder? A slacker controlling an automobile. Pass a dumbed down 3rd grade test and they will grant you driving privileges. The road is filled with 3 generations of idiots now.

A trucker is a driver that's tough as nails. In the spirit of Jeff Foxworthy, I have compiled a list of trucker characteristics to help identify them.

If your dispatcher has ever said to you, "I don't want to know", when you try to explain how you arrived a day early, you might be a trucker.
If your safety man sends you home to keep you from standing out when the company is being audited by the DOT, you might be a trucker.
If your company issues you a brand new truck every 6 months to break it in, you might be a trucker.
If your mama calls you by your CB handle, you might be a trucker.
If you have ever taking the wife and kid in the truck for 'vacation', you might be a trucker.
If your dog is truck broken, but still poops in the house, you might be a trucker.
If that last 300 miles to your destination means you're almost there, you might be a trucker.

 

If it's his own truck he can do whatever he see's fit. Define "a lot of extra miles" though. Usually minimizing time on surface streets is safer and reduces wear and tear on the truck.

 

The term "steering wheel holder" applies to almost everyone in a truck these days. most of the real truck drivers are dead or retired!

 

Steering wheel holders drive with their fog lights on and also are the same turkeys blocking the fuel islands.

 

< Now your gettin into personal attacks. I'll throw my pink glittery flip flops at your "professional trucker" ##### !

There's no connection with the term "steering wheel holder" & local driving. Steering wheel holder is just a general insult for a truck driver who doesn't drive safely & courteously.

 

Steering wheel Holder is one who sits and steer the truck, cares less of anything else, Headlight out, SO what they can change it if they want it, Engine rattles? So I get another truck if this one stops. Oh a brother Trucker needs help? Screw Him.. Check the oil? Nope I get my hands dirty Oh I must have a shower every morning and when the sun goes down I park no matter what.
