Read Teacher’s OP carefully students

Not Even,

You just made my day, because all I wanted was yes or no nothing else, thanks for reading!!!!! As I tell my students no explanation needed or necessary.

[Ronbo]

We already gradiated so we don’t need no instructions. 

[Chad Heiser]

I’d rather write too much than not enough. 

It keeps me from spending too much time in court trying to explain after the fact in my line of work.

Guess I should read better but then it is the same thing I tell my wife and she still gives me a story that usually could have been said with a yes or no 😝

[Brad NSW]

Yes me

If ALL you wanted was statistics and a yes/no answer then you should have created a new "poll" rather than creating a new "topic". With a poll you could have supplied simple points to your question.

IE:Did you have any previous experience driving HDT's before you bought one?
1 yes I did
2 no I didn't
(you can have expanded your poll with a few more points, like)
3 some but not with HDT's
4 was a professional driver

Then you would have gotten your stats in a percentage format from the poll and not had to waste any time reading the drivel that people put in the thread.

After you click the "Start new topic" button you have your choice of "content" or "poll". Try a "poll" next time, Cory. Since the question and answers are fixed by the creator no instructions or disclaimers are needed.

Pill - Now don't go trying to instruct a teacher.  They tend get all grouchy when you don't read their mind for exactly what they want...

We are not allowed to make kids stand in the corner any more, that hurts self esteem honestly that could get you fired. I walk a very fine line when I walk into the classroom. 20 + years ago when I taught in Stockton Missouri I was called into the office to be a witness while the principal he swatted a kid 5 times for being tardy, now he would be fired for that. Times change rules change and the curriculum changes the only thing constant is change.

Well since the thread is way off the rails anyway...   and since the op brought it up...

35+ years since I was in high school (way out in the country, farm kid like I said) and the principal, gym teacher and shop teacher all had paddles hanging in their office signed by those that had gotten the business end.  And you didn't want it from the shop teacher as that one was a custom hand built job full of holes to make it nice and aerodynamic.  And the only guns in school were the ones in our gun racks in the parking lot for hunting or target practice after school.  Anybody else feeling a connection here?  There's some change.

YES

Figured out long ago, that if I can start it, I can operate it.  Boats, Cars, Heavy equipment, etc.

Same with me. Never even sat in and HDT before the day I bought it and drove it from KC to Chicago.

[Xboaters]

Yes!  Afraid to say more.😁

[JPL]

Yes!

[Star Dreamer]

If I read your question correctly, a yes answer would mean that we have never owned or drove a semi truck before we got our HDT.

If so, then YES for us.

[chief916]

first time I ever drove a class 8 was a little more than 3 yrs ago when I bought the truck.  My F350 has been religated to taking trash to the dump ever since.
