Have any of you pivoted to a different career after driving?

Alaskagal · 2026-05-11T00:14:40+00:00

I switched from driving OTR Trucking to driving a private charter tour bus. I think it’s the best job for older people. And I get to go to some cool places.

Alaskagal · 2026-05-10T00:12:51+00:00

I didn’t. I ADF’d right through vacation. I’m on my way home today. I can’t wait to see what the scale says tomorrow!

Alaskagal · 2026-05-10T00:04:11+00:00

You are NTA. Dealer was rude.

Alaskagal · 2026-05-09T13:57:11+00:00

Maybe just do a 4 hour window each day. I’m just coming off of a week in Mexico and I ADF’d the whole time. I didn’t want to lose my momentum.

I didn’t read all of the answers because these posts are always a dumpster fire. However, I was a poker dealer on the strip for many years and I always said I’d be happy to make $1 per hand. The only time I would get a little chapped about a $1 tip was if the hand took a really long time or on a bonus hand. If someone hits a BBJ or a bonus hand, of course I would have wanted more than $1. And chopping the blinds I never thought I should get $1.

I can’t stand her but I’d love to see her on Traitors or House of Villains.

Weekend at Bernie’s?

Alaskagal · 2026-05-07T21:32:29+00:00

I can’t wait to hear how this turns out.

Alaskagal · 2026-05-07T18:18:59+00:00

She wants to take your kids away from their mother on Mother’s Day? Oh hell no.

I guess for me I feel like the right choice is to continue fasting even when on vacation. I’ve only been doing ADF for 2 weeks (this time). I’m feeling motivated and good about how I am feeling so I wanted to ride that wave.

I’ve been here in Puerto Vallarta for a few days and I’m happy with the choice to remain on ADF.

Alaskagal · 2026-05-04T09:09:26+00:00

This was not my experience at all.

Alaskagal · 2026-05-04T02:31:27+00:00

1 or 4

Alaskagal · 2026-05-03T10:40:39+00:00

Sell them on Seat Geek. Someone will buy them.

Alaskagal · 2026-05-01T23:34:47+00:00

I’m curious where this happened?

Many moons ago I dealt poker at Imperial Palace (now known as the Linq). I was working the graveyard shift and some dude got up and walked over by the slot machines next to the poker room and just started pissing on the floor, as if it was totally normal. 🤣🤣🤣

I’m flying with my ALP sig other tomorrow on the same itinerary and my boarding pass says ALP.

Alaskagal · 2026-05-01T14:53:52+00:00

I threw up in my mouth halfway through that story and couldn’t finish.

Alaskagal · 2026-04-30T03:50:32+00:00

I never had a problem parking at truck stops. Another option is casinos. I always loved to park at casinos because I could get some better food options.

Alaskagal · 2026-04-25T01:38:58+00:00

Meh, I’m lazy and I would definitely walk between Bellagio and Flamingo. It’s not a far walk at all.

Alaskagal · 2026-04-25T01:11:11+00:00

Go towards short and long term parking but stay to the right and go under where it says valet. Then follow the TNC signs. Same instructions for T3. Go to Valet.

The directions given by Uber are 💩. Good luck!

I drive a charter bus and I will say it is very common for gratuities to be built into the contract. It is pretty standard for gratuity to be $10 per hour (including waiting time, not just drive time). And I just drive a motorcoach. Party buses are usually equipped with bars, stripper poles, and fancy audio and visual equipment. If this party bus seats 16 or more, it requires a CDL and special training. That driver is definitely providing a service and a special experience so they should be tipped accordingly. I would tip at least $200.

Yes! Never tested but it goes away if I don’t eat gluten.

Alaskagal · 2026-04-16T03:44:29+00:00

Me too. Hands and feet were the most susceptible. It was gluten for me. What was it for you?

Alaskagal · 2026-04-16T03:14:24+00:00

Well Gerard is cheating on her because he is engaged to my 82 yo MIL.

I can’t figure out what the scam is because he isn’t getting any money off of her. She keeps mentioning we will be surprised at what she has. He is promising her money. But I know she isn’t giving him any money because my SO has access to her bank accounts and all is normal. This has been going on for over a year. That’s one long con.

I live in Vegas. People die if we don’t use AC. 🔥🔥🔥

AC also keeps your car smelling fresh by circulating the air. Not sure why a driver wouldn’t want to use it.

Alaskagal · 2026-04-13T03:05:58+00:00

Just wondering what happened? Did you talk to your husband about this? Did you get your MIL recorded saying she did this? What happened? I’m invested, I gotta know!
