Thread 28579742

Trucker thread, where we complain about Indians, dump piss in parking lots, and make fun of a certain tripfag.

>>28579742 (OP)
I work for Amazon. I simply piss through the cracks of the rear door and flush it with a water bottle.

>>28579742 (OP)
>where we complain about Indians
Did you come accross one of their trucks with a hole in the floor?

>>28579751
Thankfully no, but I've heard the horror stories.

got my permit, applying to Schneider, any advice?

>>28579818
Looks like the beer barn in St Mary’s OH
Get a lil king for me

>>28579818
Build some upper body strength because schneiders trailer landing gears suck unless its a newer trailer.

>>28579818
Flyover-sama... I kneel

>>28579751
>>28579756
Explain.

>>28580055
They cut a hole in the floor to shit out of. Whole underside gets caked in shit.

>>28580072
I swear, shit for them is like the Zerg's creep

>>28580181
Don't know what that is but ok.

>>28580188
Basically evil growing alien carpet that powers up aliens on it, that they compulsively spread everywhere and on everything

>>28580272
You forgot about how they can only build their homes on the evil alien carpet, just like Indians can only be at home if there's feces everywhere

>>28579818
Bulk or box? Best advice i can give you is don't get a TWIC card

>>28580629
NTA but Im considering an intermodal job with them because I originally started with Schneider. Why not get a TWIC?

Where’s ethan and his fat cow?
It’s not a trucker thread without him

>>28581189
aww, you miss him dont you?

>>28581114
Have you ever been to an intermodal facility? They're tight, space and security wise, always in a rush to get to their wait and full of niggers whether it be in the trucks or on the staff at the dock, railyard etc.

>>28581114
Intermodal is THE worst due to the crowding and spending all your time waiting. You don't get a TWIC because it sentences you to nothing but intermodal yards and ports (which have the same problems). Oh and hazmat for anything but tanker isn't good either as it isn't worth the few cents extra it pays due to the hassle.

>>28581285
Get hazmat because it looks good on future resumes for jobs that don't suck, gotta look as impressive as possible cause there's always another driver more experienced than you

Anyone pull fuel for Sheetz? Or in general? How is it?

got my class A half a year ago. applied at 7-8 places got 5 interviews. went with the local delivery job with three day weekends. pay is shit compared to a couple of other options but the job is retardedly easy and I get to go fishing a lot.

a couple of swift recruiters caught wind of my green CDL and called me offering shit pay for OTR. one of them was really rude. told him I wasn't interested in OTR and he called me retarded, "why did you get a CDL then" and that I couldn't get hired anywhere without doing OTR first. dunno what his recruitment strategy was exactly.

I’ve got a fresh CDL with every endorsement except Hamzat which I’m getting after I get my hard copy in the mail. What’s a good company to work for, and freight to haul for a short metrosexual male skele looking to escape poverty?

>>28581730
A question for me specifically? I'm flattered.
The sheetz guys are 90% stick up the ass kinda guys, not big talkers so most of what I can tell ya is observation and secondhand.
They all leave their lot at roughly the same time, we call this "the red wave" and can take upwards of 2 hours to clear. Their trucks are clean and have quite a lot of electronics and screens in em however this is a detriment to some of their drivers as the "mirroreye" system is reported to fail in severe weather (obvious problem). They do make the publicly posted $41.25/h but due to how many of them there are overtime is very limited and (likely the cause of the tight lips) are rushed around and micromanaged and usually laugh or at least give a relatable sigh when I say "all dispatch go to hell" so that tells me they aren't safe from the supply nonsense game the office folk play.
Other than that they're just another group of fuel haulers and if I see one of their very lit up trucks on the road I'll flash my lights at em and sometimes they do it back

>>28580272
>>28580395
Jej

>>28580072
Is it any good for rust protection?

>>28579818
Do not work for Schneider, they fucking suck ass. Even by megacarrier standards they fucking suck ass. Get on with Swift if you can pass a hair test or PAM if you can't, or Melton if you wanna do flatbed. Then shut the fuck up and drive your ass off for a year and never get into an accident or hit anything ever and do not trust your GPS ever for any reason always trip plan ahead of time for first and last mile especially. And remember that looking like an idiot or feeling like an idiot will never be as bad as actually being an idiot.

>>28581719
Fuck Hazmat if it's not tanker and it's still a shit deal even if it is. Heavy haul or custom critical freight or non-hazmat tanker is better. Only retards do hazmat.

>>28582038
Dryvan no touch drop and hook could be done by a 90lb woman. Basically any mega has that in spades and it's where you should start anyways.

>>28582655
I did my first year with schneider (DV OTR) and aside from crap pay and some nagging about things like idle times I had a decent experience with them.

>>28582671
They just put driver facing cameras in all their trucks and they're incredibly strict with them which directly lead to a bunch of their experienced drivers leaving. Megas that install driver facing cameras shouldn't be rewarded with employees, they should be shamed for it and relegated to hiring bottom of the barrel dumbasses. They also record audio too and frankly if I couldn't call a spade a spade when I'm driving through Atlanta and they cut me off I wouldn't be able to do this job.

>>28582679
>They just put driver facing cameras in all their trucks and they're incredibly strict with them
Fuck me thats one of the big reasons I started with them, they were one of the few that DIDN'T do this shit. Guess it had to happen sometime being a mega.
My current company uses them but don't check them (an AI does) haven't been called in for naughty things yet, and I say nigger and listen to NS podcasts all the time while I drive.

Werner doesn’t have driver facing cameras, if you’re wondering.

>>28582690
I wouldn't work for any company that had driver facing cameras, period. Forward facing to see traffic without recording audio is as far as I'll deal with.

>>28582679

Prime put driver facing cameras in all their trucks, lease and O/O too, and lost all their experienced drivers.

I’m torn about driver-facing cameras. It’s nice to have an audience whenever you’re playing with your dick.

>d-d-don't get a TWIC!!!
>port trucking is le heckin hard!!
Pathetic.

>>28582728
Neither does PAM and they don't hair test either.

>>28582892
>hair test
Not an issue if you don’t use.

>>28582774
I get why they install them if they're hiring a bunch of idiots or illegals but too often they're huge faggots about what they flag. I've heard of people getting in trouble for taking a drink of water or soda while driving, and frankly if I get dinged for changing the song that's playing while I'm doing the speed limit on cruise control with nobody in front of me for half a mile I'm going to call safety a porchmonkey.

It's just generally not a good sign when a carrier is forced to or feels it necessary to install driver facing cameras. They're not worth working for at that point.
>>28582785
They aren't supposed to record when you're off duty, and if your pecker is small enough to jerk off while you're driving without it hitting the steering wheel that's just sad.
>>28582790
I'd get a TWIC if it paid 30/hr after taxes. I'd get hazmat with tanker if it paid 40/hr after taxes. So long as that's not the case, I'm not dealing with any more bullshit and responsibility and risk because the payoff isn't worth it. You can call me lazy and I'll call you a field nigger with a slave mentality and we can just agree to disagree.

>>28582790
Doesnt the road hit the bottom of the thing sometimes? Its so low. Or does it go up a bit?

>>28582926
Since you brought it up, I sometimes do rest my dick on the steering wheel to feel the vibrations.

>>28582940
Lowboy trailers and carhaulers are notorious for getting high centered on railroad tracks and getting hit by trains so yes the low clearance can be a huge problem if you don't trip plan carefully. You can raise them a bit on some models but not by a lot.

Do you guys have any advice for eye health or other lesser known tips for maintaining one's body despite being stuck to drive long distances?

I'm not sure trucker but I sure as shit drive like one due to the nature of my work and it can get difficult to keep my eyes workin right. My right hip kinda hurts too from working the gas pedal for extended periods of time and traffic.

Thank you for considering advising me.

Anyone wear uv blocking stuff while driving, what do you use. I am like ant under magnifying glass with giant Hino windows

>>28583222
Wear good sunglasses and stop to take regular breaks every 3-4 hours to stretch. I'm lucky because in a semi there's enough room to move around in the seat where I can stretch a bit while driving to help alleviate pain and muscle tightness. That's probably not possible in your vehicle so you'll just need to stop regularly to take care of yourself. I've driven for 7 hours straight before but I normally stop every 3-5 hours to go take a piss and stretch and walk around for a few minutes before getting back after it.

Every time I open my piss bucket to take a leak it smells exactly like a chilli cheese dog from loves. What does it mean? It's really annoying because I get hungry every time I have to drain the main vein.

>>28583787
The company I work for will fire you for having these after the first warning.

I smoked weed 2 months ago but want to become a truck driver. Are hair tests common? I understand a piss test but hair test seems ridiculous since they take 100 hairs out of your head or something

Yes I stopped doing weed, I just don't want this to fuck me within the next year. I guess has anyone had a hair test?

>>28583796
You won't pass a hair test if you've smoked weed regularly at any point in the last year unless you cut all your hair off after you start passing a piss test and then wait a month or two for it to grow out long enough for them to use it in a hair test. There are companies that only do piss tests since that's all DOT requires but the good ones hair test. You can treat your hair so you can still pass but it's wildly expensive and they may just take it from somewhere else instead.

Any success getting any ass from female truckers?

>>28583222
Short exercise burst (jumping jacks, running in place, etc) to get the heart going then a 20 minute walk before starting your pretrip. Every day.
Stay hydrated and drink electrolytes occasionally.
Avoid anything fried or excessively oily. Don't eat or drink sugary things. Fruit juice is just soda without carbonation.
Fiber. Your colon will thank you. Don't hold it in longer than an hour.
>>28583490
stretching every 3-4 hours is a great way to avoid blood clots in the future.

>>28582790
I'm glad you're havin a good time anon, I didn't, in fact I found that dock and rail loads LOST me money waiting for the moolies to fill my tank but that's company driving for ya

They're not really the kind of ladies you wanna bang, usually they're the kind of ladies you wanna choke until they pass out and then "accidentally" keep going for long enough to give them brain damage.

I just got my license this past week, and I’m waiting on my hard copy in the mail to get my hazmat cert. I’ve got my TWIC card already, and a completely clean record. What company should I start out with? The one thing I’m a hard no on is driver facing cameras. I’d like to haul essential freight so I’m always able to work. Also, how can I best protect my license aside from religiously doing pre trips, safety checks, driving safely, doing logbooks correctly, and ignoring dispatch if they ask me to do something illegal? The sooner the better, I want out of my middle of nowhere town and on to greener pastures. Well, yellow I guess considering the environments I’ll be parked in.

>>28584884
>Also, how can I best protect my license aside from religiously doing pre trips, safety checks, driving safely, doing logbooks correctly, and ignoring dispatch if they ask me to do something illegal?
Thats basically it. If you want a little extra insurance, sign up with a CDL lawyer like Keppler, they help you if some local yokel gets bored and tries to ticket you for nothing. I managed to avoid a ticket that way.

>>28584884
Do six months with swift and then start looking around for smaller companies that will pay you way better. You may have to do a full year to get on with a good company that'll actually pay you a decent amount of money (1500-2k a week after taxes) but it is definitely possible, especially if you're cool with hauling reefer. Or just be a slave for two to three years and get on with Walmart, you'll make pretty great money and it's as easy as hauling for any other mega.

They just see the writing on the wall that their welcome is far expired. They'll throw their own under the bus to show that they're the """""good""""" Indians (there is no such thing)

A good Indian is a call center Indian or an Indian who never contacts the outside world at all.

>>28583787
Is this real?

>>28586949
Yea they're everywhere now and a quick way to spot the lizardbangers.

I am now pushing 5 months into solo driving and while it may not be much of an achievement, I’m just proud of how I’m improving on my backing.
I’ve been focusing on using spatial awareness to determine where my trailer is in relation to the space I want to back into, whenever the spot is on my blind side and I’m wanting to do sight-side backing (basically making U-turns in drop yards), or even straight-back if I have the space for it. It’s a work in progress but I’m getting better at when to start turning around. Once I’ve gotten better at doing that, I may start working on blind-side backing.

If you go into the Sapp Bros in Clearfield, PA and tell any of the workers there that Ethan sent you, they will give you a complimentary bag of lima beans.

>>28583791
This deserves a response

>>28587179
Backing got a lot easier when I stopped being a retarded faggot and started just sliding my tandems all the way to the front any time I had to do something in tight quarters. Buying a trailer tandem slide pin was the best purchase I made, no more getting in and out of the truck 2-4 times to get it in the hole I want.

>>28588258
I looked it up and it's mostly likely because of excess protein in my diet. Just weirded me out because it smelled almost exactly like a chilli cheese dawg from Loves whenever I opened the bucket. It's no longer an issue though since I've officially christened the bucket with its first shit, had to park on the side of the rest area entrance ramp last night and saw on the satellite map footage that there was no restroom here to use.

In a rare display of compassion I will not be emptying the bucket in a truck stop parking lot and will instead be dumping it in the grass out the passenger door and then rinsing the bucket out with bottled water afterwards. I may live like an animal on the road but even an animal has higher standards than an Indian. Some may mock me for my behavior regardless, but I've directly saved two peoples lives in the past year and a half and am by all accounts a decent person otherwise. I'm just very deeply broken inside and no longer care about how other people see me.

>>28588498
During my last urine test they made me aware that I had high protein content in my urine and I wasn't concerned because I knew I had eaten sixteen (16) microwave hamburgers over the course of the workweek so i just said "yea that's kinda weird"

>>28588558
My pre-hire physical showed elevated liver enzymes

I'm just like yeah I'm an alcoholic anyway nothing in the handbook says I can't be right? I'm all good if my breathe shows no greater than 0.02 at work right?

Got the job, still drink excessively, going to die no doubt in the next 5 years in extreme pain and agony
(Only a class B here)

They were only worried about your protein count because they measure creatine as a way to gauge if you diluted your piss. So for the drug addicts out there now you know what to do before watering down your piss if youre too stupid to substitute for clean shit

That's only if you believe the holocaust actually happened (it didnt), the Haavara Agreement clearly shows there was no intention of extermination and is the entire reason the yidds have a country at all

>>28589500
regardless of whether you like his racial policies or not hitler utterly failed at everything he set out to do and only made the entire situation 100x worse with his and his cabinet's flagrant arrogance and mythologically bad foresight.

What's more antisemitic, saying it didn't happen or that it did and they deserved it? I can see an argument for both sides.

>>28590296
The gypsies deserved it.

>>28590680
Obviously. When even the most cucked woketarded region on the planet is still hilariously racist against your people you're a confirmed group of faggot shitbirds that all deserve to die. Had Hitler only killed gypsies he'd have lived to be a hundred.

why are truck claxons louder than those in a regular car?

Was my grandfather a "trucker"?

>>28592663
Yeah that's a truck driver, my dad drove locally and enjoyed meth, he's a fuckin truck driver.

>>28591528
Most people don't have that good of hearing and there might be music playing or they may just be totally oblivious to everything going on around them. Lots of folks treat driving a car like they're just sitting in a room with windows and aren't piloting a one to forty ton death machine at speeds that would turn them into spaghetti sauce if they fucked up for even a fraction of a second. You need something loud enough they'll hear it before it's too late to react, and loud enough to get their attention no matter how retarded they're being.

When I get my own truck some day I'm getting the loudest train horn setup money can buy and my brights will be bright enough to make paint bubble from a hundred yards out.

>>28592663
Anyone that's in a truck for extended periods of time on the open road hauling shit for a living is a truck driver. Even the hotshot guys, although I will never stop giving them shit when they take up a spot at the truck stop.

>>28592689
>>drove hundreds, sometimes thousands of miles across the country

>>28588498
>I've directly saved two peoples lives in the past year and a half
I've saved more than that but you don't see me blogposting trying to brag about having control over my violent impulses

>>28592725
With that logic you could argue all cars should have horns that are as loud as truck horns.

>>28592898
They should, it would likely save lives.
>>28592764
If we're counting everyone I've not killed even when I wanted to and had the capability of doing so I've saved thousands of lives and am a literal saint, I meant lives saved with direct intervention on my part and doing a good thing and helping them not the absence of violence you fuckin tard.

Decided to check out what’s different with Sapp Bros’ $10 showers compared to their $15 showers.
It’s similar to Pilot’s showers.

>>28593847
Honestly, I’ve only used Pilot’s showers at least two times and they were both run down, but the shower at Sapp Bros reminded me of the shower I used at the Pilot in Detroit.

Hopefully the schizo nigger stays out of this thread, faggot ruined the other one.

Is it not kosher to have a beer in my bunk on my 34? Like I'm not getting shitfaced or even drunk, just like a tallboy or two.

>>28595846
I believe it’s allowed, as long as you’re not in the cab. Sleeper berth/house/motel room are allowed. This may just be company policy with my mega, but drivers are required to be sober 4 hours before coming back on duty.

>>28583791
Do you drink a lot of milk? My newborn was like this.

>>28595888
Trips checked, and good. I was going to drink whether it was allowed or not but it's nice to know I won't get in trouble for it. For what it's worth I would never think of moving the truck with anything in my system, but the stress of this job makes it impossible to not drink on my time off if people don't want me to eventually take a hard right through a left turn with a cliff on the other side of the guardrail.
>>28596058
I was eating too much protein. I've since switched to eating more veggies. Also, it should be legal to beat dispatchers with a chain within an inch of their lives.

>megacarrier
>preassigned load paying 103 deadhead miles, 325 linehaul
>actual route miles: 134 deadhead, 381 linehaul
I know miles are zip to zip but some of these have a literal 33% difference between paid and actual miles. Surely this can’t be legal.

>>28580055
Old trucker tale about non whites driving trucks and pissing/shitting trough a hole when moving.
When I was still at it it was "the mexicans" that were doing it

>>28596554
I fully believe someone out there has cut a hole in the floor of the truck that they can piss or shit out of even while it's moving. Granted everyone with a brain just has a 5 gallon bucket set up to do the same thing that they dump at rest areas in the middle of the night like I do, but human stupidity knows no bounds nor does cruelty and I can absolutely see a pair of retards team driving for a slavemaster that gets upset if they even stop rolling to take a shit. Hell I've only been at this for a few months and I've already dumped 39 gallons of piss and three shits out of my bucket.
>>28596538

I figure it doesn't really make a fuck unless someone either narcs on me or I make an ass of myself. I've been at this truck stop for two full days and I'll be here for another day and a half and I've been drinking the entire time and had zero issues.

question for truckers. i live in nashville and spend a chunk of time in the i-65 i-40 i-24 corridor to get around. do you guys just head in there expecting to sit around for an hour or is that rookie move?

I hate a lot about NY but it's still amazing to see.

>>28599978
Home daily should only have one deciding factor, pay scale. I personally can tell you the Smith contract with walmart >>28600012 is talking about is not long for this world due to their absolutely dogshit drivers. I was talking with one of the Walmart guys and they said a Smith driver missed his turn so he decided to hook a u-ie in the middle of a FRESHLY PLOWED farmer's field, he immediately sank into the dirt but kept going and as he was turning his landing gear caught in the ground and flipped him, spilling ~40000 lbs of packaged frozen meat out the top of the trailer.

Hell I saw some jailbait look straight in my eyes and stick her tongue out like she wanted to suck my soul out of my dick just this last weekend while I was waiting in subway for my sandwich and all I told her was if she kept making faces they'd get stuck like that. I barely get paid but if I wanted it I could get very laid.

Rush are faggots and deserve to be hatecrimed. Why would you use them unless you were totally fucked?

I’m fucking sick of four wheelers sticking to my ass, believing saving gas is better than keeping themselves and others safe. It’s worse when I’m trying to keep myself from running into a fucking Tesla that suddenly decided that getting directly in front of a 40-ton cruise missile DOWNHILL is such a fantastic fucking idea. If the fucker behind me wasn’t sticking to my ass then I would be able to effectively add buffer space between myself and the Tesla by fully engaging the Jake brake, but instead I get a fucking ELD violation for following too closely because partially engaging the Jake brake and pumping the brake pedal doesn’t slow me down enough to avoid the violation.

God I fucking hate New York!

>>28600665
Why are you driving in Nose York, or Jew Jersey or Shitcago for that matter? I refuse to go to any of them for any reason. I'll deliver or pick stuff up in New York state but I don't go within an hour of the city unless it's on a highway to get somewhere else. Anything north of Pennsyltucky or east of Old Bayland is an automatic no-go for anyone with a brain. I'd rather be a daycab nigger in atlanta or commiefornia than do that shit.

>>28600606
Because he was totally fucked. I remember him posting before that he made like $3500 so far trucking this year or some shit

>>28600710
>Why are you driving in [shitty places]?
Because I’m a new, inexperienced, easily-replaceable driver and it’s usually expected of you to get assigned shitty jobs to shitty places from the get-go.

>>28596554
Worked with a guy who saw it first hand. He was working at a truck garage and two jeets pulled in with their shit-caked special for engine/gearbox/axle oil change and chassis lube. The shit hole was directly over the driveshaft and flung it everywhere. Tech refused to work on it, shop manager went "no, you're going to work on it" and the tech replied "fuck you, I quit" and rolled his box out to his truck. The second tech went "fuck you, I quit too" when he started walking over with the service order. Shop manager ended up pressure washing the underside of the truck and doing the service on it himself cause he knew otherwise he'd end up with an empty shop.

My YTD total as O/O is somewhere around 70k and almost 80% of it has gone straight to operating expenses.

I took one week off for Speedweek after running 3 months straight trying to get caught back up and it ended up being the whole god damn month I could have been broke down near Moab and went and done cool shit but instead it's Charlotte inside the 485.

I know I bitch a lot here, this has been my hardest ever year for running and comparatively, it's not my most expensive for repairs. The repairs I've had cost chicken shit money but the market is also chicken shit money with the brown hordes, Biden fucked us on his way out, hard. There was literally a 2.5 month period where I did not make a single red cent.

If you're one of these greenhorns who are all starry-eyed about owning a truck and think you're going to make it big, forget it. Market's used up, it's all illegal immigrants running for like 30 cents a mile who live in their trucks and have no bills.

Also the Rush jews raised their labor rate since I've been here to 250 I had to actually show up at the place yesterday and figure out what is going on and why I'm still here.

>>28600740
>he works for a company that does forced dispatch
Retarded. Better make sure you're trip planning like a king instead of a kang.

>>28601509
Maybe you're just retarded and shit at your job?

Who do I call to arrange a flatbed delivery?
Only lumber yard with 20' 1x12" cedar boards is pickup only in OKC, 1900 miles away. Do you bill per mile, one way? What are rates like these days?

>>28600116
>I personally can tell you the Smith contract with walmart… is not long for this world due to their absolutely dogshit drivers
I’m starting to wonder if the pop up fleet that Walmart is doing with a handful of o/o’s and carriers is more than just offloading the extra workload to their private fleet.
I’ll keep a lookout for any available Walmart accounts that may pop up on my mega’s job board, in the near future.

>>28600116
I remember being a wagie at a walmart and seeing the non walmart trucks scraping gear against the loading dock ramp almost daily
real question, I'm in LE and hate working here. Would trucking be comfy while I look for something else or will I get trapped in it?

Very nearly killed someone today, if I hadn't been paying attention and my truck and trailer hadn't been in great shape they would've been in the hospital if not the morgue afterwards. Lesson learned, always assume everyone on the road is a complete fucking retard staring at their phone high off their ass. I wouldn't have even been at fault but it still wouldn't have made talking to the cops or knowing they got killed or maimed any easier. Thank fuck I take my pretrips seriously - amazed none of the tires got flat spotted.

>>28601912

Low hanging fruit, I'm very good at it. I have 1.5m verified safe accident-free miles and have never been late to a delivery that was my fault. I have never failed an inspection nor have I been placed out of service.

Statistically I'm better at this than like 99 percent of drivers. only a very small portion of drivers have my driving record. There's a good chance I'm better at it than everyone in this thread.

The three things killing me right now, are insurance, double-brokering and rates. If I can get away from the company I'm at right now, I can fix two of those things.

>mfw Slush ordered the wrong fucking part so at this rate I will be lucky to get out of here by the weekend.

>>28579742 (OP)
Freightliners shitty electricians strike again, because a wiring harness issue is causing my AC compressor to die. Every single freightliner I have driven has had fucked wiring.

>>28600665
Don't worry about that shit man, the megas try to pull that shit and you just gotta give em a corporate acceptable fuck off. Those Schneider desk jockeys would call me and try to talk down to me for not being omniscient, the conversations would go something like this "we have a report you did (______)" ok when "two weeks ago" I don't remember doing that do you have the camera footage? "No the computer just said you did it" ok so how am I supposed to know what i did wrong if you don't even know "just don't do it again" ok bud
I proceeded to do it at least 4 more times and got 4 more calls.
No (good) future employer is going to genuinely give a shit about how much a guy in an office called you, keeping your CDL clean is the most important thing and if that means making a hard break or near rollover turn to dodge something, so be it, their whining will be a distant memory if you can keep yourself out of real trouble

>>28600827
I believe it however those guys are retarded, if it was me I'd call OSHA for my boss threatening me to do a biological hazard job without proper ppe and make a nice bonus from the government off the whip cracker

>>28602595
My company wasn't even pissed I had a hard braking event, they were just happy I was okay and especially happy I avoided contact or a collision. Anyone busting somebodies balls about avoiding contact or a collision is a faggot of the highest order, especially about them slowing down - in most states if somebody rear ends you they're at fault unless they have proof you were brake checking them intentionally, otherwise even if somebody dies slamming into the DOT bumper on the back of the trailer it's not your problem and they should have been paying attention. Now if you parked on the narrow shoulder of an offramp to take your 10 and they die hitting your trailer, yeah, then it's your problem.

>>28601509
$1750/mo take home after expenses is just awful, man. About $11/hr if you were doing a regular 40hr/wk job.
Kwik Star starts cashiers at 15/hr.

>>28602681
It could be worse, they could be a company driver that just started bringing home 1550/mo that'll go as high as a whopping 2325/mo once they hit a year experience. Although to be fair if you add cash advances to those numbers it's more like 2150/mo currently and 2925/mo at the year mark.

>>28602692
Christ, I wouldn't get out of bed for 1550/mo.
>t. 5600/mo with 8 months cdl experience

euro drivers get 2k/mo after tax

>>28602692
Cash advances?

Think Ethan has been deported by ICE?

>>28603230
I can get cash advances on my next paycheck when I fuel up, up to 200$ a week, although I usually take less than that. It gets taken off my check automatically. I do that because it lowers the amount I actually receive when I get paid which means I pay less in child support.

>>28604082
You're not making more money though, you're just spending tomorrow's pay today
>child support
Ah, that makes sense. Coloreds aren't usually good at math

>>28604126
>brooo just give your baby mamma as much money as possible broo or you're a nigger brooo
Full speed into a parked trailer on the highway, you should.

>>28604216
>baby mamma
Maybe keep it in your pants unless you're willing and able to take responsibility for the creation of a new life.

>>28604239
Or, yknow, wrap your willy silly.

Incels would be THE BEST truckers
>They have nobody to come home to, meaning they'll be more likely to work
>They are already accustomed to isolation
>they will probably reject lot lizards most of the time aside from those few acts of desperation
>goal driven minmaxxers by default
>They already sit around everyday, might as well sit around everyday while being paid and looking at real life scenery
>Majority are racist, this means they'll be perfect rivals for Rasheesh or Apu the driver
It just makes sense, let's save incels. Make em' truckers. God bless.

>>28604216
>i stuck my dick into something and now im experiencing the consequences of my actions!! how could this happen??
please kindly go back to your country of origin. id bet youre on some sort of government support too, since youre not good at planning ahead

>>28604298
I'm white, I just niggermaxxed and knocked up a bunch of broads after giving them fake names and phone numbers. After doing some facebook sleuthing I likely have at least four more children out there I'm not paying a single dime for. Gotta keep the huwhyte race alive somehow.

>>28604216
That's not what I was saying, nigger-kun.
Someone posted basically claiming with cash advances you'd be making an extra $600/mo but you're not making any more money, you're just spending future money now. In your case, you probably are coming out ahead because you're playing games with child support. But the avoiding child support wasn't why I called you a colored, it was for having what your kind calls a "baby mamma" to pay child support to.

>>28604265
I’m not exactly an incel but being a schizoid trucker has similar benefits, since I avoid interacting with people I don’t need to interact with.

I’ve fucked myself up by changing my sleeping schedule for my route home, hoping I’ll make it home by noon tomorrow.
I ended up sleeping less and drinking more energy drinks to the point I haven’t been able to go to sleep tonight.
I go back on the road in an hour with my projected ETA for arriving home being 10 hours from now.

>fedex
why is that company full of fucking niggers dude. i hate niggers. why cant they be more like my niggas at jb hunt.

>>28604394
Memphis-based company.

just got fired from being a swiftoid because i had several instances in the last few months where i didn't immediately brake upon violating the gay three second rule, mainly due to retarded four-wheelers doing dumbass shit in front of me.

what companies do not use those faggot camera monitoring systems and actually trust their drivers?

>>28604392
>fatigue finally sets in
God dammit… this load needs to be delivered in 5 hours.
Oh well, guess a 20 minute nap is better than no rest.

>>28604452
>hunger sets in
God fucking dammit…

>>28604406
I didn't know it wasppossible to get fired from Stevie Wonder's Institute For Trucking. Didja fuck your manager's wife on his desk in front of him or something?

>>28604539
nope, but i was on one of their prestigious accounts, and swift, being a scared company due to their business model of hiring fresh meat to eat (after fucking it of course), strictly enforces driving rules that no doubt came from the collective imagination of a board of desk jockeys with expired driving experience or no driving experience at all effectively making their drivers drive like total pussies. there is a reason every other trucker on the road feels the need to pass a swift truck

>>28604539
Probably cutting some white people out to make room for more jeets. Economy is too unstable to pay white people

Slush got the right part from across the street, and replaced the whole god damn doser block and only charged me for the sensor since they made me sit for so long.

I'm a free man tomorrow.

>>28586903
>They just see the writing on the wall that their welcome is far expired.
That time horizon is generous to say the least. At this rate, the Indian diaspora populations won't be welcome anywhere near North America.

>>28604577
>prestigious accounts
>swift
what, like delivering fent to chicago? Taking truckloads of animal shelter dogs and cats to be made into school lunch meat? Dildos to OP's house?
>there is a reason every other trucker on the road feels the need to pass a swift truck
Yeah, to get away from the accident scene.

>deliver load that should have been the last one before going home
>next assigned load is overshoots the entire fucking home state
They do see I only have 12 hours remaining on my 70, right? What makes them think I can make it home before that runs out? I won’t be able to do recaps, since tomorrow’s my sixth day.

>>28579742 (OP)
people itt saying swift is shit bc they hire fresh people but swift called me saying i was rejected bc i didnt have "the full 120 hours or 6 months of driving experience" which they say nothing about anywhere. where can i go that actually hires no experience cdls?

>>28604949
They don't care about your hours or about you.

>>28604406
Swift are extra gay about that shit because they've hired so many jeets and retards their liability is insane so they have to be as anal as possible about safety to still get coverage. Find a smaller company that will hire you on, they usually don't do that faggot bullshit.

>>28604949
Ask if you can t-call the load so you can make your home time, or if they'd rather you take your home time with the load still attached to your truck and then deliver it after your home time. Give them no other options. If you don't stand up for yourself on this they will fuck you to death moving forward.
>>28605016
Swift used to be shit because they would hire any idiot with a pulse. Nowadays they're super anal about safety and suck to drive for and unless you're getting your cdl through them they don't want you if you don't have at least six months experience and a spotless record. How much experience do you have and what state do you live in?

Is western express THAT bad?

>>28605526
im learning that apparently i should have gone to a accredited school that provides atleast 120 hours of training. i of course didnt, it was a 5 day class with 6 hour days. i got my cdl but all OTR companies want accredited drivers. local companies might hire me but even if i get 6+ months of driving time, OTR companies still want OTR experience. im not mad, im just disappointed

>>28605742
ive gotten the most progress with stevens transport in terms of getting dates for getting hired and training so i guess im getting hired and training with them. i need money so i guess im driving whether i like it or not

>>28605584
They're pretty bad and I would only recommend them to someone with a felony, dui, or sap on their record and no otr experience.

>>28598855
THAT'S DISGUSTING LMAO

>>28604539
>Stevie Wonder's Institute For Trucking
God fucking damnit that killed me kek

>>28605742
Construction companies need guys with cdl's. If they don't have to train you to get it that's a plus in their book. You'll be doing more than just driving the truck probably, but you'll be making more than a swiftie
