Trucking... is this my path out of being a NEET?
Redpill be on trucking, good or bad

>>513858246 (OP)
Its not for everyone. Best option is local hazmat

>>513858246 (OP)
go to the best training school you can find, especially those that do longer mroe comprehensive courses instead of just getting you past the test. you'll find the extra weeks will help you a lot and companies will choose you over other new drivers.
always just take you time, keep good distances at all times, and be smooth. when in confined areas move super slow and never be afraid to get out and look.

there. those are my top tips.

>>513858246 (OP)
>Redpill be on trucking, good or bad
All the truckies I know want to go into the outback jeet culling industry instead.

>>513858246 (OP)
My advice is to get a job with FedEx or something first and see if you can hack it. If you can, go to a trucking school as another anon said.

>>513861850
also, some guys start driving something smaller like a dump truck and then upgrade their license after a few years of getting good at actually driving.

I have checked out of the jewish prison bus

>quit wagie job
>sold everything I had in my name
>all property I own is in somebody else name
>stopped renewing IDs
>stopped paying taxes
>stopped paying car insurance/plates
>free groceries and free techslop (lots of it is hidden in the back nowadays but there are still plenty on the shelves)
Fridge is always packed, I have no bills, obligations, responsibilities or worries.

I am free.

Also enjoy the occasional blowout. Its fun when it explodes

>>513858246 (OP)
There's gonna be far more jobs in it now that the shitskins are getting kicked out of it. Maybe even unions forming, hopefully. Used to be an easy way to a 150k+ salary.

>>513863268
not really a big deal unless its a steer tire. ive a few trailer tires go, but they were old and the trailer was overloaded. did have a steer go, but it went down slowly and just happened that it was the end of the day anyway and i was pulling off into a truck stop for the night.

basically, if you're running on the highway and you keep checking the tires like your trained to do then blow outs dont really happen.

>>513858246 (OP)
I've been unemployed for months because I refuse to drive with an internal camera. Have fun zoomer.

>>513863528
So maybe I should start applying again?

>>513863665
I've had one in twenty years, blow out not flat. I've had lots of flats but mostly from shitty third party container chassis. The blow out was loud but I just pulled over and someone came and fixed it.

>>513863767
yeah all that shit is ruining things. same with the 'safety' features like line guidance etc. somehow we've gone decades just fine without all that shit, but now all the niggers and jeets are here all of a sudden the trucks are being turned into spy devices.
im really not looking foward to dealing with that shit. last company i was with refused it all and it was great.

>>513863939
yeah blow outs are just because of running old tires too long and/or being too heavy. both were the case with the log truck that blew one. i just carried on to the mill lol

>>513863665
Yeah, never let them cheap out on steer tyres. Lucky for me i only had punctures at the front

>>513858246 (OP)
Most guys don't last 6 months. But this really is a job that gives u back what u put into it. Keep pressing dispatch to give u tighter loads and to always have a pre assignment. Start ur days at 2am and have easy parking at 1pm. Also u should specialize eventually, flatbed has the most potential for big money. Hazardous tanker can start u with big money.

>>513864436
i always keep a real good watch on the steers especially. check 'em several times a day for anything funny going on. the rest get a quick look and a whack of course but losing one tire out of four on the axle is nothing compared.

>>513858246 (OP)
If u want like the easiest thing possible just do OTR reefer. You can take your time everyday. It's not my style I'm returning this truck Monday

>>513858246 (OP)
OP is a jeet he want to do U turns on the highway

>>513863435
Goddamn that's rough. Contractors have to pay that shit out themselves right? I guess insurance might cover some...

>>513864687
yeah, if you can sleep with one of those fucking things rumbling and humming every moment of your life.

>>513864837
Depends on the insurance and damage. but the company pays. I don't even have to change it myself. I get the service provided bt my employer. The parts are not that expensive. Mostly cheap plastics and a few metal pipes. Also the taillight got btfoed.

>cruise along
>feel like i ran something huge over
>check mirror and see billion bits and pieces fly everywhere

>>513865029
Well that's good, the coverage I mean. I knew someone who was driving alongside a truck when this happened, blew out their passenger side window.

>>513865029
dont know if youve ever ridden a bicycle around much, but in some places theres so many little bits of truck tire wire (from the exploding tires) that you get flats all the time. shoulders are covered in half inch steel needles lol.

Tyre tread was fine, but its a cheap tyre with a glued on protector. I didn't install them though. Another nigga was using the truck at the time. I get paid for extra time and don't worry about the expenses. So i don't mind much if such things happen.

Just be Indian

>>513860719
This guy sounds about right. I was a long haul driver from '77 to 2010. I look back on my career in the industry and smile - ahh, the good ole days, yup. There's nothing like it bros. Just you and the open road. Best part about it is that the truck is so tall no one can see in the cab so you can fap pretty much nonstop. I wouldn't trust a trucker without his dick in his hand. Lobbing piss jugs out the window, stuffing your face with greasy slop.
Best job ever.

>>513866143
airplanes are a whole different thing to have a truck operate itself in traffic and changing weather conditions. no kind of transportation is fully automated (ship, train, aircraft) unless it runs on its own dedicated infrastructre and thats not happening for roads any time soon.
operating a heavy vehicle on the public highway is probably the most complex environment of all for a computer to manage. its not happening soon.

>>513866295
We have the ability to fully automate aircraft right now and get those overpaid arrogant sacks of shit who waltz around in their uniforms out of the cockpit but we can’t due to regulations

>>513866354
audio book, lectures, music etc all mean thats less of a problem. then theres the scenery if you're in quiet places and then theres driving in traffic when you're not. winter driving in a big truck is never dull.

>>513866490
A truck can just stop if the automation fails unlike a plane
>challenging weather conditions
Do you really think an icy road is more challenging than the shit pilots deal with lmao

>>513858246 (OP)
It's gonna be wagie tier at first but you can get better cpm as you get more experience

>>513866543
I don't think we're gonna see eye to eye on this. Keep pushing for it though, let's see what happens. Don't think I'll be flying anytime soon.

How about those lot lizards? Good times?

a relative drove propane trucks for 30 years and retired with one million in savings and a union pension, maybe those days are over though

All you truckers please take care of the fucking tires, please. Nobody likes running over and having to avoid gators at high speed.

>>513866727
the road is a more complicated place to operate. theres more going on, more random shit people do, and one wrong move means a pileup. im not saying being a truck driver is more complicated than being a pilot, just that the road is more dynamic than mid air.

>>513866932
nah, you could easily save that if you're working good miles all the time and bought a cheap home back in the day.

>>513866976
I always go back and clean that shit off the road. Isn't a problem here in Europe. There are also daily cleanups for road kill and road junk in most places.

>>513866976
its shitty companies and/or lazy drivers not checking the tires regularly or wanting to spend the money to change them out as they get old. the US doesn't have much in the way of debris really. you go to some countries and its fucking everywhere.

>>513865631
Kek no. Even fully autonomous trains are unlikely to happen and it's a far more controlled environment.

>>513866617
>winter driving in a big truck is never dull.
haha, have watched many hours of Canadian winter bigrig wreck recoveries on Weather Channel, those rotator rigs are pretty cool to watch, especially when they need two of them to get the rig up out of the ditch

>>513858246 (OP)
It is bad, unless you own the truck yourself. Thr capitalist employer films and records you 24/7 while you operate , sleep in his truck.
Remember the meet driver in Florida?
Why is there even a footage from his cabin?
Now you know.

its pretty addictive, like Pawn Stars or Ancient Aliens

>>513867424
winter driving is great. had some great trips through the western states into WY and the Dakotas. blizzards, cold temps, high winds, roads closed behind me so im the only one out there, no where to stop so just turn the log onto offduty driving and go all night at 10mph in 12 inches of snow, only able to see the road by seeing the reflectors at the side. lots of trips through the rockies up in canada at 3am in a blizzard etc. good times.

its way more difficult to get a job with Fedex or dumptruck than it is to get a CDL for some over the road shit

>>513868011
is it? never seemed that way to me but i dont live where you live

Being a Canadian trucker would be awesome, sadly it seems jeets have ruined this and now I would be lumped in with them and am not wanted

>>513868137
its fine but only if you can cross to the US a drive mostly on their interstates. roads up here are crap and theres basically nothing for truckers - hardly any truck stops, hard to find parking, can't over night in what few rest areas there are etc. if i had to stay north of the border im not sure if id' bother.

and yeah, its wall to wall jeets too. everyone hates jeet drivers which means everyone hates trucks.

>>513858691
Is this how real truck interior looks like. I knew something was wrong with the way it is euro truck simulator

Hopefully they fix it

>>513858246 (OP)
Do some actual research and you will learn 70% of truckers are bums who are roped into a work lease that forces them to stay awake driving for ungodly hours. It's sink or swim, the sink part gets you fucked for not being able to pay their truck rental etc. payed in rice basically

I did a stint of it in Australia. I could manage but I fucking hated it. Having to maintain unwavering concentration for at least ten hours a day driving along endlessly straight roads I did not find fun. Painfully boring. On momentary lapse of concentration and you could kill someone. Too much responsibility for the pay. Too many fuckwits on the roads doing dumb shit. Too many cops just waiting for you to make the smallest mistake on the road or in your logbook. Too much time away from home. Too tempting to spend your money on junk food. I could see it would wreck one's health. Plus the flatdeck I was driving was jittery as hell, bouncing you around, it was not comfortable in the slightest.
All credit to the guys who stick with it, mad respect and all that, but it was not a lifestyle I wanted so after a year I got out.

>>513868137
In USA they are currently being pogromed. Saw some fagbook post that 35,000 companies habe shit down recently. The competent driver shortage is quite big everywhere. I've alsp gotten fagbook ads for jobs in the US, Canada, Germany, Netherlands and UK(Ireland). Here in Europe mostly old boomers drive trucks.

https://www.freightwaves.com/news/are-we-in-the-great-trucking-recession-a-look-at-the-numbers-the-pain-and-what-comes-next

The trucking industry is in a really bad state right now. Between all the foreign drivers that have flooded the industry for last twenty years and especially the last five years and the bar of admissions being lowered has resulted in stagnating wages. 25 years ago a driver needed to be able to drive a standard transmission and be able to find locations with just an address and map along with some other skills that aren't needed in today's industry. The result of GPS, automated transmissions and a countless other automations have lowered the bar of entry so low that a monkey can literally do it and the full on automation is not that far off. All this will result in even more prolonged wage stagnation for the foreseeable future. Yes you can still eek out a half decent living possibly but your going to have to sacrifice for it and that might be okay. But ultimately there is no future in trucking long term, if you're young you are way better off picking any other profession to get experience in, you might make more as a trucker right off the bat for the first couple of years but you're upwards mobility will be capped whereas other professions have a lot more room to grow in. Basically trucking as we know it is a dieing industry and if you are under the age of 33 I would highly recommend picking something else to get (valuable) experience in and not wast any time in trucking.

>>513868335
I have thought about moving to the prairies for a long time, I know that the infrastructure is much worse than the US. However I get the feeling you guys don’t want more immigrants! I certainly wouldn’t if I was in your position, so maybe I should do Canada a favor and know my place

>>513868393
There are a bunch of different interiors. That's just a 2009 Scania that i have to use now. My usual truck is 2022 scania, but it had to go international temporarily so i got the backup truck

>>513868642
So cool ! the steering the gauges look amazing maybe the steering is larger than it is in the game

Do you only drive scania? how about Renault, Volvo, Man

>>513868433
thankfully your regulations make it hard to push drivers too much. 14 hour work day and thats it. guaranteed 10 hour break. not so up here. its a real shit show sometimes here.

>>513868586
this place seems to be desperate to import as many jeets and niggers as it can anon, so if you're white i prefer you help balance it out a bit lol

>>513868444
good to have tried it though. definitely nicer to have interesting and changing scenery like over here i bet.

>>513868433
>roped into a work lease
yeah, dont ever do that. very bad idea. just drive a company truck and then get your own later on if you really want to and know what you're doing.

>>513869024
I've driven them all. Scania is top tier.

Basically my ranking is
>scania
>volvo
>mercedes

>renault
>iveco

>>513858246 (OP)
Seems like a stressful job. I make $120K doing easy manual labor with a laidback boss.

reminder its been over 10 years since they said everything was going to drive itself in 5

>>513869232
>I make $120K doing easy manual labor
kek

>>513869056
Do Canadians dislike white immigrants generally? I wouldn’t want to make Canada worse to be honest, I fear I would be unwanted even as a white person

>>513869156
How bad is Iveco. Are they like the ferrari f1 team

Why do you like scania

>>513869232
>He does manual labor
KEK

>>513869407
Iveco is shit on my opinion. Least room and comfort. You get a DAF for room and volvo or mercedes for comfort. Scania is like the middle ground for that and has best reliability. Volvo makes the best transmissions(iShift). They all have some good and bad, but scania is favored by many

>>513869375
well, the faggots that idolize brown people might not like the idea of white people coming here but fuck them. if you're a decent guy and look like a proper Canadian should (IE. white) then im ok with it.

>>513869783
yeah, Scania has been peoples favorite for years. i never drove one, or even a cab over, but thats what i heard.

>>513870083
They might come to NA soon. Some guy called Bruce Wilson is working on it. He is making a good impression at NA truck shows rn

>>513858246 (OP)
Construction trucking is ok... Even better if you're in the union.

>>513870225
Whoops

Thats all we need, useless neets driving a giant heavy truck

>>513869783
Do you own the trucks you drive or the conpany gives you the truck

>>513870449
I drive company trucks. I could have been a owner operator in my previous company. They encouraged leasing the trucks and working on contract, but cuckvid memoryholed those ideas for me. Maybe in the future when i want to go international again.

>>513870191
they used to be common here back in the 60s and 70s funnily enough, then the long nose got more popular. you still see the odd old one still going, somebodies baby lol

>>513858246 (OP)
Im a heavy duty mechanic the drivers that look like they have it the most cozy are the guys who drive dump trucks. They stay in the local area so its basically a regular 9-5 no time away from home.

>>513865865
>brakes on an electric truck
regenerative braking.

>>513870827
Here long noses and extremely rare. The new ones are great. Quiet and comfy. And manovering doesn't even compare

>>513869375
No. Canadians are largely self absorbed numbskulls. They won't really care where you came from. At best you will have someone comment on your accent. I've been back in Canada for about a year and I have met a Yorkshire man and 2 Irishmen. All seem happy. Nobody gives them grief.

>>513871024
those are designed for transcontinental hauls, there's a lot of ground to cover and more creature comforts for the driver. i knew they were rare in Europe, since you probably have rail spurs everywhere being more densely populated

If you’re white becoming a truckang is a great idea.
>fuel hauling/LTL industry
Home every day, hourly OT after 8 hours, some are union with pension
>goymart private fleet
Easily make $130k after a year or two. No touch freight. Drive truck cash check. Requires 30 months of experience and a perfect record though. Not a problem if you’re white. Automatically filters jeets

>>513858246 (OP)
If a jeet can do it you can do it better. Stay away from mom and pop truck companies unless they are white owned, and maybe not even then.

>>513860719
And get the cdl DOT manual and read it.

>>513871176
saw a truck with GO BACK TO INDIA spray painted on the side of it

made me smile, probably a lot of others too. fuck those stink parasites

>>513871005

>>513871372
I saw shit written about polacks and romanians in Scandinavian truck stops lol

>>513871134
ok cool good to know, I don’t want to get lumped in with those dirty jeets

>>513858246 (OP)
the pay is shit which is why turnover rates are high and why that poo crash happened, they'll hire anyone.

>>513858246 (OP)
You'll go from NEET to hobo sleeping in a truck.

>>513871482
god bless our actual nations truckers

>>513866932
the pension is over but the savings for 30 years sounds about right

Indians have ruined this industry particularly in both of our countries. They literally cut a hole in the floor to shit into the truck and I am not joking. They literally fill their Mac’s with feces

this confuses and enrages the europian

>>513871586
So basically the same

My back is fucked up. Will I need to be moving shit in and out of trucks?

>>513871024
yeah thats quite nice looking. we're getting more aero dynamic looking long nose shapes these days. anything for another 1/10th mpg.

>>513871335
for sure

>>513871504
nah, no way. the jeets are a thing unto themselves and anyone whos honest with themselves knows this.

I would wager security and certain remote/work from home jobs are better for NEETs but they’re a lot harder to get.

Personally, I see a ton of farms and construction sites hiring anybody right now because all the workers are being deported. It’s low wage work but it’s mostly stress free and simple work. I would consider it personally.

>>513871711
No. Not sure how driving so much will affect you though.

>>513871711
Sitting all the time will fuck your back up worse than moving shit bro

>>513866244
Love to see that video of the Nignog trucker in South Africa that got his gas tanker stuck under a bridge! That was a classic!

>>513858246 (OP)
>Redpill be on trucking, good or bad

It's chill but it has sucky parts, like any job.

99% of the time you're just holding the steering wheel and cruising on the interstate. You can listen to podcasts, audiobooks, every album that ever existed... great job for an audiophile.

The sucky part is backing. Luckily most modern Distribution Centers like WalMart will be easy to back into, but there are some absolutely cursed delivery spots in like Massachusetts. Also, when they teach you backing in trucking school, it will be the middle of the day in full sunlight. It won't be at 11 PM at the truck stop where you're tired and suddenly need to back between 2 other trucks.

The rest of it is just whatever, the paperwork and routing and scaling are pretty easy if you're not a retard. Like if you're literate and can follow simple instructions it's fine.

>>513871372
A good start. It would be horrible if people sabotaged jeet trucks at truck stops. Things like slashing tires or cutting airlines or spray painting black paint on their headlights. That would be so horrible lol nobody do that

>>513871711
sometimes. ive done pallet jack duty plenty of times but it depends what the company policy is. the sitting can mess with your back though but maybe your back problem isn't that way. if you can find a good seat arrangement a driving position its really not a problem, or hasn't been for me. the worst is if the air ride for the seat is screwed because then you can be banging down on the floor all the time.

Yes, especially now that Trump is banning importing more foreign truckers
But you have to go through hell to get your CDL. If you can though you'll be making an easy $50k starting, probably even more than that, and you could get up to $100k from what I've heard, maybe even more.

I heard a story about a mechanic who refused to work on a jeets truck because he had cut a hole in his drivers seat to make it a toilet, and the whole underside of the truck was covered in shit. no lie and this was 15 years ago.

>>513872050
I bought a purple brand ass cushion to sit on. Feels like I’m sitting on air. The real problem is maintaining good posture. Shoulders down chest out back straight. Also important to stop every few hours and get out and walk around and stretch. Use those rest areas

>>513871879
Don't forget about old bridges which say you'll be fine to clear them but will leave you literally 1 or 2 inches between them and your truck

>>513872229
Actually it was the mechanic himself who told me the story, so it was 1st hand, to be clear.

>>513858246 (OP)
Two good western companies are may trucking company and prime inc.

>>513872164
>hell
4 weeks of training (from a legitimate school, not mr. Anus punjab school) and about $5k out of pocket launches you onto a $100k job path
It’s pretty easy if you’re not a shitskin

>>513871993
>Things like slashing tires
don't ever do that on those tires there's a reason they put them in cages when they inflate them at the truck shops

shoot them out with a suppressed .45acp (or subsonic 9 /10mm, .45 is best girl on suppressor because its all natty 900fps)

>>513872395
Now throw in the DMV, now throw in the fitness testing, the gauntlet of drug and blood tests you must do, and having to learn to backup a 52 foot trailer because you're a NEET who has barely driven a car.
You are brown.

>>513872467
Oh yeah good point. They’re under heavy pressure while loaded. You could deflate some and then slash them though

>>513872562
>>513872467
>>513871993
>shoot Swift's truck
>they get someone from Matthews to fix it in an hour
You retards really don't understand trucking at all, do you?

>>513872467
But the tire would explode making the suppressor a moot point

>>513872395
If you're a neet, call up your local truck driving school and they will direct you to a job center. Job centers give you taxpayer money which covers the private schools.

Companies like prime inc. give you free schooling out of their own company, but you have to work there at least a year after training.

>>513872557
>two tests at dmv. One for CLP and second appointment for CDL. Can also take endorsement tests while getting your CDL which are super easy
>fitness
Medical card is just a vision test and basic physical things like blood pressure and hearing test. Drug test is literally just a piss test. Nobody is drawing your blood
You clearly know nothing and are more than likely a disgusting smelly lizard raping jeet

>>513863268
Couldn't blowouts be avoided by regular tire inspections? Or do they happen regardless?

>>513872562
there's cctv footage around here somewhere of i think it was a chinaman burying an axe into one of those tires. parked truck, it blows him straight off his feet

Any good white driver does thorough pre-trip and post trip inspections. You should also check the tires anytime you stop at a rest stop. Very easy to pick up nails and scrap metal and shit that’s on the roads.
jeets Will try to drive thousands of miles without ever looking at the tires once

>>513872743

exactly. any time you stop at a rest area or whatever you're taking a walk around the truck checking stuff like that, looking for anything out of place, rubbing, getting too hot etc.

>>513872864
ive never done a blood test for anything related to driving truck. piss test, sure. that picks up on about half a dozen kinds of drugs (opiates, weed etc), and the medical isn't much of anything. the first medical i had when passing the test was more extensive but the ones every few years at license renewal are nothing...though maybe thats because im not fat and the doc just thinks yeah whatever.

Just ignore the naysayers. In every given cateer thread, the snake comes in to tell you how bad it is and how you shouldn't even try. Trucking is great.

Defects are usually found on a pre-trip, but sometimes they just happen. Especially when rethreaded protectors are used. (I never allow those, but someone used the truck previously)

>>513873378
apparently in WN they can take blood if they think you were drunk driving. im not seeing anything about for CDL yet.

This is my point.
Basic physical with stethoscope and pressure cuff and a pee sample to check for drugs and sugar in urine (advanced diabetes). That's it.

>>513873765
depends on their level of tolerance i guess. just ask the people doing the test. i once asked if it picked up alcohol because i had a few beers the evening before. they said no.

>about $1200 all included, would this be a good option?
thats very cheap. i wouldn't expect it to give you much extra other than up to basic test pass level. that might be all you nee to get on with a company that will maybe give you a mentor for a bit to help you get started. if the college has a good reputation then why not. call some companies and ask them what they think of new drivers coming out of that place. theyll let you know if its worth much.

Foreigners have absolutely ruined the industry but they've been so deeply embedded into now that to believe that politicians are going to take away the American Trucking Association's cheap labor is being extremely naive especially when it comes to the industry in Canada. The time to have done something about this problem was twenty years ago, the powers that be are going to keep with the cheap low IQ foreigners until automation takes over the bottom easiest routes and portions of the industry, most LTL freight will be very easily automated soon enough and that will put tremendous upward pressure on the driver demand side of the rest of the trucking sectors. In simpler terms I don't foresee another "drivers market" maybe ever again and that means that the trucking job will just always go to the lowest bidder.

Trump should issue visas for European truck drivers

>>513876167
yeah, i happened to have new winter tires on all the drives for those conditions. feels good. chains are pain the ass until you're fast at putting them on. ive always managed to avoid needing them, at least on highway runs. sometimes guys have to put them on and off several times a night on some routes with multiple high passes.

>>513876472
the US hours are better than canadas i think. up here you can extend the 16 hour work shift just by talking 2 or more hours off duty. means they can try to push you hard. while in the US i always used the 11 hours driving with maybe another hour or two depending whats going on. 700+ miles days with only a couple short breaks were the best. keep on rolling

That is local LTL freight which requires local truckers.

Probably 40% of the trucking jobs are shit, you'll spend hours sitting in parking lots unpaid waiting for wagies to load or unload a truck. There's a reason why trucking companies are full of second/thirdworlders. It's easy for Trump to wag his finger and say they all have to speak English, but the reality is white people don't have the patience for that job when external issues by freight companies/warehouses cripple your number of paid working hours. I've been there, you don't want to sit in the shitty rig for 5 hours, because someone won't answer a phone or tell you at the last minute the place you've been driving to is not the delivery location.

>>513877895
stressful. i once has some trouble in Philadelphia with their dumb bridges. snuck under one that was 13ft2inches and then boom, im across an intersection where the next bridge is right there and only 12ft6inches.....some friendly niggers (yes, they exist apparently) helped me back up across the intersection by holding traffic and stuff. its not a town to try driving a big truck across and now i know that.

>>513877895
lel had a nig at my company that tried to do that because he thought he didn't have enough height under a bridge. He jack knifed the entire thing and tore the air supply cables to the trailer. One of only two people I know of that have been fired lel since it's so difficult to get fired as a trucker. That guy destroyed so much shit

>>513878333
In Europe they are really retarded with bridges, underpasses and tunnels. In Scandinavia the measurments are accurate on signs, but in Poland for example i passed 3.8m underpasses with a 4m high truck at full speed. GPS refused those routes because of inaccurate shity limitations.

The technology to automate trains has existed for so long that my dad was born, went to train driving school, drove several decades and retired without having automation.

not helpful. i just couldn't find out info for that city because i didn't have a cell phone for a while and no GPS (dont like it). now i just use printed truck maps and maybe look up the route or destination on satellite images. always nice to know what kind of yard or whatever you're going to arrive at.

currently you have to compete with ranjeet and his 16 cousins and the cdl they got was from a fake cdl farm ran by ranjeet's other cousin.

>>513882019
decent companies know this. even in canada you'll find that most non-jeet owned companies dont have many if any jeets in them. the reason is that decent companies want to keep their ratings up (companies are all rated according to several metrics related to safety of driving, equipment, violations of all kinds etc, and its all online). Sure, jeets close one company and open another the next day while decent white people stay running for decades...but people know this too. there will always be those willing to pay bottom dollar and risk the jeetageddon, but not everyone is like that.

>>513882019
Yep exactly, it's been a downward spiraling competition with cheap imported labor for the last twenty five years, just expecting some politicians to somehow fix it overnight is naive the compilation will continue for the foreseeable future.

I did it for a year. Your country is very beautiful and worth a drive to all corners. Don’t know if it’s worth it anymore as you’re have electronic logs and a camera watching you 24/7. Enjoy not making any money on the days you do the most work because some retard loaders take 3 hours to load or unload you just in time for rush hour.

>>513882746
But do seriously not understand how all the imported drivers drive down the demand for drivers across all segments of the industry and in turn how that drives down the wages across all segments? It's simple "supply and demand" dynamics at play here and to sit here and make excuses otherwise is foolish.

>>513883630
sure i understand. but still, the simple availability of fucking jeets doesn't mean that theres no demand for better quality drivers. its like setting a minimum wage - sure, that kind of becomes the standard of how wages are determined, but thats the lowest of the low. Not everyone wants to deal with the lowest of the low. They want better quality and theres few jeets that can provide that.

>>513858246 (OP)
Find a good school that tries to really train you rather than just do the minimum it takes to pass the test.
You can also get hired to do something like drive a dump truck, which means you’re home every night and you’re not trying to maneuver 60 feet of vehicle.
If you’ve got a cdl, it’s easier to get into working heavy equipment like dozers and cranes, and that can be really good money.
Good luck, anon.

>>513884399
>Find a good school that tries to really train you rather than just do the minimum it takes to pass the test.
definitely. companies recognize the extra time and money you spent trying to learn and it will help you get on with them. Here's something i learned too - try to get on the highway first. dont get into local dispatch straight out of school because you're going to spend most of you time in all the smallest nastiest little yards and stuff, and you're not ready for that yet. Get out on the highway and put in the hours just driving the truck. It makes a difference. just every day moving on the road, fueling up, parking in truck stops or whatever, that all adds up to make you better in the tight yards where you need to feel whats going on by instinct.

>>513860719
meanwhile pajeets just pay another jeet a little bit of money and instantly pass their jeet driving school despite not knowing 99% of the traffic signs and not speaking english. Then they skip the licensing tests conducted by the government and are on western roads driving semi trucks into oncoming traffic in a matter of days.

>>513884069
But you are still offering your premium service at a significant discount that otherwise wouldn't be the case if you weren't competing with an endless supply of cheap labor. You probably are just taking on the hardest jobs that come with a lot more responsibility for just a little bit more money and acting like you are doing good.

>>513884870
sure they do. but people are learning. only bad companies use jeet drivers. everyone knows this.

>>513884876
>still offering your premium service at a significant discount that otherwise wouldn't be the case
of course thats probably the case. you think im arguing for more fucking jeets or something? forget it. im just saying that you cant hide from reality, and the reality is that everyone sees what jeets are like. the companies that last and that other companies that trust with their cargo to them know this, and will pay a bit more to avoid them.
>acting like you are doing good.
doing a better job, sure. thats all we can do really. you think i can do anything about the country being flooded with a gorillion village jeets who come here and pull all the same scamming bullshit as they do in india? you think i like having all those amoral vermin fucking things up?

>>513884876
>probably are just taking on the hardest jobs that come with a lot more responsibility
and when it comes to that i disagree. companies want to keep decent driver from quitting and going someplace there so, in my experience, they are more likely to work with you when it comes to time off, better routes, preferences for working hours and stuff. what would you do in their situation - piss off decent white drivers that you know you can trust by giving them all the shit, or throw the jeets at it and see if they can cope, knowing theres a hundred more useless jeets there they came from? the latter is what jeet companies do to the other jeets because they are nasty fucks. the former is what smarter white companies do with their valued drivers, because they know theres less and less of us around and they know whats going to happen if they cant find any more.

This was my rig for about 6y. Ran dedicated fleet for P&G. Out two weeks in for about 3 days, most times requested to stay out. I had nothing when I went to trucking school. Beyond broke. It was my apartment on wheels. Got a hotel room when in. Eventually bought a house. Sold it. Later went into air freight. A few miles to the airport and back to the freight forwarder. Easy bucks. When I was on the road the weekdays were a push but predictable. The weekends were relaxing. Grilling at the rest area or catching a movie when parking was around. Park at the yard and go to a pub up north. It was nice. Had no worries about bills or home. If it wasn't for trucking I would have been homeless. Not bad coming up for a 24yo 99lb female. If I can do it anybody can do it. Can still read the trucker's atlas with ease. Traffic around DC was bad, DFW always sucked still does. NYC those people go during rush hour, go with them, it was easy to cross the GWB and scoot thru. Mostly interstate and you already know the city will require attention. Stay alert. Always look at your fifth wheel with a flashlight even in the middle of the day to make sure your pin is locked when you hook up. Don't ever skip that step. Always make sure the grommets are good on your glad hands. When you get out anywhere always walk around and look, touch, smell.for any issues. If I wasn't old now, those condos on wheels would be a dream. I had my old cab over buckboard a cooler and Jerry Orbach reading books on tape. I would have thought I was in heaven having a mini fridge and a tv. It isn't a hard job. It can be monotonous. Don't let it be. It will get to you if you do. Make your own food as much as possible. Never assume anything and don't quit on your worst day. Stick it out. It gets better. Backing in anywhere isn't hard. It just takes patience. Keep your cool know your surroundings take your time. Never be late on a load, don't whine. Do your time in the trenches then upgrade.

Horrendously hard on the body. Its one of those jobs they will try to automate soon. In the US it doesn't seem to pay that well on average. Probably not a good idea.

>>513884870
Last place I worked, manufacturing and fabrication shop, almost every time a jeet driver dropped off a delivery, the jeet would try to get one of us to reshuffle his load for him. Sometimes, that’d happen 2-3 times a day.
We never did. One of us would usually say something about how they should have gotten the load in order at the yard or shipping hub.
And if there was a driver who couldn’t back their rig in to our bay, it was ALWAYS a jeet.

The trucking industry is the most effected profession by cheap labor. The first thing every newly arrived immigrant attempts to do is get into trucking. Getting into this industry now is absolutely pointless for a young white man, all it will do is waste valuable time that a young person could be learning and getting experience in another field and all you will accomplish is getting left behind in ten years from now. You act like things are going to get better somehow, you act like people are going to wake up all of a sudden and reverse course, well it's not going to happen they are deeply embedded in the industry now especially in Canada, hell the last I checked your largest fleets are jeet owned and operated the jeets are the industry up there now. Why in hell would any young halfway competent White man want to put himself in a position where he has to endlessly compet with an endless supply of cheap imported labor in an industry that will also be going through dramatic changes in the next ten years? That is just fucking crazy unless you have no other options or something. If you're 55 years old and just looking for something to do until you retire then I guess go for it but that is an extremely different situation then a 23 year old competent White man looking to get in it.

>Horrendously hard on the body.
Not sure why people keep saying that. Its no worse than sitting in a office. A truck chair is actually much better. Just work out on off timenand stretch during breaks, lol.

a good trustworthy white guy will always be able to work as a driver if he's got a good record or, if new, shows a willingness to work. thats not going to change, no matter how jeets they throw at us. all your doomsaying means nothing to me because i know from personal experience what its like. And sure, becoming a driver might be one of those jobs for when you done have many other options, but that doesn't mean you dont have to strive to do a good job or have high standards. jeets cant really do either of those things except the rare one that isn't <90iq. its a realistic way for us to make good money in a short time and get ahead to where we wouldn't be able to get in most other professions and that by itself it worth thinking about.

what you might not realize is that people were saying all the same shit you're saying now 10 years ago. none of it has happened apart from some shitty cameras watching you in the truck, and not everyone bothers with even that much. when i was training there was all the same stuff about automation, immigration and so on but here we are, same as it was back then. dont be such a whiner.

Which is very bad
You seem to drive local Hazmat, which is on of the "best" jobs and maybe you are still fairly young. Your serious health problems start at around 40.

>>513888442
This looks like a case of wrong tank material, started reacting. Retarded driver, you call the fire dept. and start evacuating the area

>>513888637
really sounds like the voice of experience here

>>513888625
You are totally missing my point. Of course white men will always be wanted in the industry, of course a white man will always be able to work in the industry but you will have to settle working for peanuts and make pretty much the same as the jeets that do a shitty job. Why would you want to do that? Why in the hell would you want to waste your talents and time making just a little bit more than the reckless jeets who are willing to work for 1/4th of what you are willing to? And I know damn well what people were saying ten years ago and I know what they were saying 20 years ago!! Do you think things are better now in the industry than they were 10 years ago? NO THEY ARE NOT!! A lot of what the more reasonable people were saying 10 years ago are happening and have happened. You do what you want but I'm here answering with some advice. Do you think I like what has happened to the industry? Do you not think that it pains me more than any one else reading this thread to watch what has happened to it? I'm just being practical about it and to think that there is a future worth getting in to this profession is just being overly optimistic and extremely naive.

>>513888637
I'm 36 now and never been healthier. Drove around Europe for years. Stretching and working out is the key. And not eating the gas station slop.

>>513890215
and i think you're being overly dramatic and unnecessarily negative. a young guy goes gets his commercial license today or next year and whats he going to get? with a bit of luck he'll find a decent little company and be making good money which will enable him, after a couple years work, to get a little house somewhere and lay some aside for later. it will mean hes got a useful thing (his license and experience) which can mean work doing the same thing or help getting into other lines of work too.
what do you think guys like me are planning on doing otherwise? you have a lot of negative shit to say but not much else.

>>513890538
this 100% just because you drive for hours on end doesn't mean you have to chain smoke and eat shit all the time. its what you make of it. i knew a guy did ironman races and was driving truck. had a bike bungeed in behind the cab and would ride on the reset days. i see others parking by the gym and using it to work out and shower. i used to go for long walks wherever i ended up doing the reset (36 hours off to get your driving hours back) and ate homemade (home milled wheat) tortillas with a bit of salad and cheese 2x a day.
theres no need to eat the shit you'll see in the truck stops and no need to sit around unless you're in the drivers seat.

>>513890588
You are the typical driver that I've delt with in trucking for the last 25 years that is unable to understand good advice.

what else?

>>513887407
104lbs can still shift the hell out of em still have fallopian tubes

>>513867953
great answer, comprehensive answer

>>513890921
maybe you're just wrong. whats your big advice that none of us eejits can grok then? im not seeing it.

>>513891261
I already have, you clearly are unable to understand it.

>>513891781
clearly. whats also clear is your immense arrogance. its been fun.

>>513891946
I've earned that arrogance though. But seriously good luck to you.

So do the trucker schools help you pass the permit test too? I got one of those DMV handbooks and I've read it but not a lot of the information sticks in my brain. I'm wondering if I do the trucker school, if they help drill the information in my brain better

>>513872950
is the bike going to be okay?

>>513892188
thanks anon. perhaps we had some miscommunications along the way but all im saying is that getting your CDL isnt a waste of time. like you said, use those first years to make good money and then if you dont like the way things are going, what have you lost? nothing. youve probably got 100k banked after 2-3 years if you're smart and a good resume. if its not all doom and gloom you can carry on a bit and do just fine.
thing is that for those of us for whom driving is a thing, its not like we're missing our calling as rocket scientists or anything. its just another way that we can do to find a way ahead. it worked out really really well for me, and i think it can for others.

>>513892245
oh for sure. you find a good school and you'll be getting taught by guys who've seen it all over several decades. you learn a lot from guys like that. but dont choose the cheapest course you can find. read around, see what people think of the school you're looking at. maybe even call some companies and tell them you want to drive and which schools do they think are good

>>513892245
Download CDL test prep apps and use them. Usually the free versions are enough to pass. The only test that requires some studying and memorization is hazmat but, at the end of the day, it’s not really that difficult.
Is memeflag shilling not paying well anymore?

>>513892710
Thanks
It's a big commitment, so I'm still thinking about it, and it's expensive, one school near me that a guy I know went to, it costs like $5k for a 4 week program but they seem like they got good reviews and stuff
Should I get a CDL for stick shift? Does that matter? Most trucks are automatic shift nowadays, right?

>>513865865
>Let's see them operate in West Virginia.
WV is nothing but a huge mountain range. the interstate grades are bad and the state highways are even worse. the jews have been discouraging Anons from getting a CDL for more than a decade on this board. Trucking lifestyle would be perfect for most of the Anons here - live in your truck for a few years and buy house for cash

>>513893332
Thanks
I live in the US, for some reason when I use this Read Chan phone app to post on here, it won't let me use the default flag and forces me to use a meme flag

>>513893441
The jew fears the non-jeet trucker Chad. Soon to become the nonjeet landlord chad.
>>513893548
I see. To answer your previous question, it’s a good idea to learn how to drive a manual and avoid what they call an automatic restriction on your license. Plenty of fleets are moving to automatic these days but there are still some companies that use manuals. It’s really not that hard
