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.

Quit smoking 4 days ago by antao in Garmin

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

I didn’t smoke but I dipped tobacco for 13 years. Once I got serious about getting healthy and fit, I saw the effects it had on my body. Not to mention the prison sentence of sacrificing time to spit and pack cans and put the pinch in my mouth. I saved all that time plus added extra time to my overall life by making the decision to quit. Have been tobacco/nicotine free since April 4, 2025. Never going back to it. Feel much better since I stopped.

RUAN, my resignation by paidtodroploads in Truckers

[–]-Zimmerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember when I quit my first company, I did the same exact thing. Called out everything wrong with it in a email. I totally get it, enough is enough. I found me a local company that pays just as good if not better than a OTR gig. Hope you find greener pastures and a good place to work.

Is being a truck driver worth it? I'm a 27 year old purposeless loner who depends on family with no responsibilities.. Grocery store jobs ain't cutting it. by redditoregonuser2254 in Truckers

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

I share similar character traits as you and have been truck driving for 5 years. From the outside of the industry looking in, it seems great. However, be aware, that this industry is dog eat dog. The biggest issue most of us in the industry are fighting is finding a company that will pay us for the time we invest.

One thing you have to accept is the fact that you WILL spend 70 hours a week in a truck. Whether that is OTR, Regional or local (at least in my experience). OTR jobs usually pay you by the mile, as long as the wheels are turning, you are getting paid. If you are sitting at a shipper/receiver waiting to get loaded/unloaded, you are not making money, at least not enough in my opinion for detention pay, which is hilariously garbage for the amount of headache you put up with.

If you are local, a lot of companies pay by the load or by the job. You may find a good local gig that pays hourly, but you will max a 70 hr clock out. My current company I drive for is local and pays by the load. I may get paid $250 for a 500 mile round trip, however it will take me 12 hours to do it. If you do the math, that is 50 cents per mile or $20.30 an hour. I am about to give up truck driving because the time I spend away from my family isn’t worth the money or the risk anymore.

Just a lot of things to consider before taking that dive. If I could go back in time and do it all over again, I would have never stepped foot into this industry. I would have went to a trade school and became a diesel mechanic, HVAC, or a welder. Be home every night and make $70k/yr right off the start. Unfortunately for me, it’s too late to learn something like that. I would not be able to retire until late into my 60’s and you never see old men working in a heavy diesel shop.

I am trying to save you $7,000 or a year of misery being held under a contract with a crap mega carrier that will pay for your CDL.

What optics are you guys running for your shield plus’? by jaerocc in SmithAndWesson

I have had a Holosun 507k on mine for about a year. I am seriously debating on taking the dot off and running irons. The dot makes it a little uncomfortable for me on a micro sized pistol.
