The Big Ones
New drivers usually get in trouble by skipping basics. The job rewards patience more than ego.
- Rushing
- Not trip planning
- Not asking questions
- Ignoring parking until late
- Poor communication
- Not checking details
- Letting pride get in the way
Small Details Become Big Problems
Wrong address, wrong appointment time, wrong trailer, missed seal, bad route, no parking plan. None of those sound dramatic until they cost you hours.
Pride Is Expensive
Ask the question. Get out and look. Take the pull-up. Call before you hit something or miss something important.
Practical Takeaway
Your first year gets easier when you stop trying to look experienced and start building repeatable habits.
