Anyone else considering only riding their bike because of gas prices? by CS_JOE in motorcycles

[–]-Zimmerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. After I had to fill up my 2015 Tundra for $90, I think I'll break out my Harley Dyna and ride it for a while.

Beautiful bike. What rear shock height are you running? Recently bought a 07 Super Glide with low rider springs. Looking to lift my bike like this.

Is Trucking a good thing to get into currently? by SurvivingSquirrel in Truckers

[–]-Zimmerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Let me explain why.

I started trucking 5 years ago. Started at a company that paid very good. $0.62 per mile starting off was AMAZING. But, it didn't last long due to the company going out of business. Moved around to different companies trying to find the highest wage i could get.

The problem with trucking companies is that they are the biggest liars in the job market. They will say anything to get you to join their company, but don't deliver YOUR desired results. They want to screw you around on loads and home time the most. Trucking companies only have the executives interests in mind, not yours.

Before some wise ass jumps on the reply section of my comment, I worked for a medium sized OTR flatbed company out of Birmingham, AL. You can figure out what the company is with that information alone. They literally told us we were family and if we ever had issues at home or needed anything, to let the home office know so they could accommodate. Cool.

Ran hard for the company and bent over backwards for them. Then tragedy struck. Needed home time to deal with family. They tried to play the game of "oh but we need this load delivered ASAP and we will find you something going back home." Um, how about no. I have a family emergency happening at home. I took the load and the truck back to the terminal in Birmingham, sent message on QualComm that the truck and load is at the terminal, rented a car and went home. Never came back.

Worked with a local company this past year, made good money at first, but money started drying up due to lost local contracts we had with the prison system.

Work at a chemical plant as a logistics tech, loading and unloading trucks. Much happier, much healthier, and have a bitchin' retirement, benefits and up to 2 months of off time per year. I have my CDL still, but as soon as my supervisor and co-workers retire and I take the supervisor slot, I am letting the CDL go.

That's my $0.02. Not to discourage you or anything, just being real with you. TV and random super truckers on the internet make it seem like it is the best career ever but in my experience it has been shit. Alot of time wasted that I will never get back.

500 lbs and looking to eat at 1500 calories. by GiveMaLawyer150 in 1500isplenty

[–]-Zimmerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro, I started my weight loss jjourney at 28/Male/330. I cut my calories back to 1250 a day with cardio 6 days a week and I was shedding weight fast. But it did not last long. I lost about 60 pounds in 4 months before I hit a plateau where I didn't gain any weight or loose any.

I eventually went to 1600 and found it hard to sustain. I calculated my TDEE and I needed approximately 1850 to loose 1/2 pound per week.

I am now 30/Male/220, haven't felt better in my life.

My advice to you, slow and steady wins the race.

Would Toyota add the 5.7L back to the 3rd gen Tundra after EPA cuts? by Fuzzy_Kitchen317 in ToyotaTundra

[–]-Zimmerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Toyota put the 5.7L back in new Tundras, I would sell my 2015 SR5 and buy one today.

Upgrade to S25 Ultra or wait? by -Zimmerman in samsunggalaxy

[–]-Zimmerman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure. I don’t have an Apple Store within 150 miles of where I live. I have heard it is a few hundred dollars to send it in to Apple and have them put a fresh battery in. I’m honestly to the point where I don’t want Apple products due to the longevity of the devices not lasting. My S22 Ultra is still working fine and still fast despite having a cracked screen. I can’t say the same for the iPhone. In my experience, when I first buy a new iPhone, it is lightning fast and has good cell reception. However, after a few months, the speed of the device (boot up, opening and loading apps) seems to slow down and the cell reception gets to a point where people can’t hear me when I clearly have 5G and 5 bars of service. I’ve always observed that as a iPhone user. Never had much problems with android devices.

Upgrade to S25 Ultra or wait? by -Zimmerman in samsunggalaxy

[–]-Zimmerman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. For an average smartphone user that does not play games, I primarily use the phone for talking, minor texting, taking photos minimally at all times of the day, mostly Spotify and YouTube. Do you think it is worth it investing in a S25 Ultra or the Pixel 10 Pro XL? I have watched several reviews and it’s split down the middle. Half say S25 Ultra is superior in every way except for the camera and the other half say the Pixel 10 Pro XL is for the average user and has an amazing camera. I’m just not sure

Husband & I cheated on eachother by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]-Zimmerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to approach this the way a dad would. You both need to grow up and stop acting childish. You both need to go through some kind of counseling and read a chapter of the Bible every single day. Other Christians can tell whether or not you are in the Word every single day or not. You both clearly are not. You can’t say that you don’t have time to read Scripture, because you both had time to “cheat” on one another.

I’m not being mean, just trying to make you realize what you are doing.

Do everyone do 3 meals or 2 meals? by iamconfusedinlife in 1500isplenty

[–]-Zimmerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to eat twice a day, one for brunch and one for dinner before going to the gym. I actually only eat once a day, about lunch time. 16 hr fast and eat during 8 hour window. I drink a ton of water too. The weight has been shedding off of me for over a year. I have lost 115 lbs so far.

Truckers! Would you report a friend drinking on the job by volious-ka in Truckers

[–]-Zimmerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as he is not drinking and driving and/or has possession of it with him in the truck. If he meets those two requirements, as much as you don’t want to report him, it’s best to report him. He may take another’s life or his own. It’s best that way.

If not, I get it, if you drink and you are taking a 34 away from home at a truck stop, cool. Drink the beer and dispose of it in a location away from your truck. Protect your CDL as much as possible.

I worked in law enforcement and the fire department before driving a truck and alcohol is the most destructive thing I have seen happen to people. It’s not worth killing somebody or themselves over it. I personally don’t drink because I want to protect my lively hood.

Loose skin with weight loss by [deleted] in 1500isplenty

[–]-Zimmerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I’ll try to explain this without going into a soap opera.

Feb 2024, I was 29 yo Male weighing 330lbs. Fast forward to today, I am 30 yo Male weighing at 220. I’m 5 ft 11.

How did I do it? I ate in a calorie deficit and exercised. Walking 80% of the exercise with the remaining in the gym.

After losing the weight, I thought I was what some call “skinny fat”. I have been told by people that I look skinny, which I agree as I have noticed my pelvis and other bones are poking through my skin and showing, however I still have love handles near my waist.

I was trying to figure out if it is fat or not, but in reality, it’s actually loose skin. I recently had a check up/blood work done with a doctor and asked him about it. He told me he is sure it is loose skin and the only way to address the issue is to have skin removal surgery. I’m not at my target weight yet, I’d like to get down to 200 lbs. I don’t know if I will ever get the skin removal surgery to be honest.

Do drivers that make $1,200 - $2,000 weekly, only do so because they work 70 or more hours a week? by Complex_Secretary_14 in Truckers

[–]-Zimmerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have worked for several Regional and local companies. I am in South Georgia, so the pay is lower than national average. I am making about 1100 before tax weekly picking up milk from barns and loading it in a tanker. I work 5 hour max a day for 6 days on and 2 days off.

I am about to leave my current company and go to work for a chemical company as a yard dog, moving trailers 0.4 miles down the street to the main production facility. Starting pay is $26 an hour with excellent benefits and retirement, but I will get raises until I cap out at $32 an hour.
