Rookie drivers need more skills

Dear Editor,

As a professional driver for 10 years, I am amazed at the new drivers who do not know how to back up, slide wheels, or fix the easiest things on their trucks.

Maybe it is time for some of us good ones to retire from the road and start training these people properly, for the good of the industry as well as my nerves.
