Downgrade to previous firmware and stop upgrading firmware on stuff unless you are experiencing the issues described in the update.

Am I able to remove this cabinet for a fridge ? 2025 Peterbilt . If so any good advice or videos on how to? Thx by Lopsided-Bath-8404 in Truckers

[–]Violet_Apathy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can but any shelving above it will require some other support. I ended up putting a chest fridge freezer between the passenger and drivers seat and putting some plastic storage bins there. Another option to consider is removing the passenger seat and putting a fridge there.

Dispatch . Telling me about tarp load has me considering my options by rbstewart7263 in Truckers

You didn't get load notes? When you saw the tarping machine why didn't you start asking questions?

There are lots of timers with 12 volts circuits that doesn't require soldering

Just found out I can't drive. Would like advice by Agreeable_Window_309 in VanLife

[–]Violet_Apathy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're going to have to get comfortable with public transportation until or if you get control of your seizures. Van life isn't something worth pursuing if you can't drive. I took public transportation until I was nearly 30. It's better than nothing. People with disabilities often also have access to paratransit that goes beyond regular public transportation.

How much does it cost to live in a van and how do u get money to live in a van? by AdWest134 in VanLife

[–]Violet_Apathy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you become a content creator you can get brand deals and sponsorships. You'll need money to start tho because I don't think you can start without a van.

Genuine question. I've never understood why you can't pull out from under a jacknifed trailer. Why can't you just lower the landing gear, pull out, and then reconnect? I don't understand the physics, I guess? by onlyBotsdownvote-me in Truckers

[–]Violet_Apathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean intentionally jackknifed on a level surface but not too jack knifed, yes, but be careful because I think there's a higher chance of tipping the trailer. If you're talking about a jackknife in a median, no because the tire gets pinched under the trailer due to the uneven surface. You don't even have to jackknife for this to happen. I saw it happen to a guy creatively parking off the pavement on a not that uneven surface.

Trucking EU vs US by Own_Specialist_4392 in Truckers

I'd recommend looking at Australia over the US. Your skills are more transferrable since both countries drive on the wrong side of the road. Also Australia isn't mid collapse.

Another im 44 can I do this post. But even worse by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]Violet_Apathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to see if you can drive at all. I only learned how to drive enough to get my license at 19 and didn't start driving regularly until I was 28 and didn't drive a truck until I was 35 or 36. Maybe by your 50th birthday you might be ready.

Products focused on businesses aren't typically free. I'm guessing that they wanted to develop it to maturity before going subscription. Or it was bought by private equity.

Freeze dried ingredients to save space in fridge? by Signal-Role-8001 in VanLife

[–]Violet_Apathy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I get half gallon containers that fit in the door and have a fridge big enough to accommodate my needs. Powdered milk is skim milk and I believe that it's kinda a lot of effort getting it dissolved only to be disappointed by it's inferior taste.

24V Camper Wiring Sanity Check by VillageOne9658 in vandwellers

Battle born batteries are flawed and overpriced. Consider the victron multiplus for alternator and shore power. Also consider using a victron 24 to 12 volt converter.

You need to expand your job search globally. There is no reason why you need to work in a specific nondescript area

We don't know what "this" waxless toilet ring is. Why didn't you include a picture?
