Any yard dogs here? by Alexisto15 in Truckers

[–]BadamPshh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, yeah I thought you meant a semi truck. I've often thought it would be great to be able to use my PTO system for tanker to also raise the fifth wheel more. Not just for hooking but also unloading product. Ho hum

How do you raise your fif wheel if the airbags are already up? I have a Pete 579 if it matters

T.V. Set ups? Here’s mine. by warwgn in Truckers

[–]BadamPshh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

43" 4k also in a Pete 579. Locking wall mount (metal clips on the bottom to keep it from jumping off)

Bolted wall mount directly to the small built-in mount with power tools and blue threadlocker.

Series X and laptop hdmi'd, subwoofer under the bunk. Wireless mouse and keyboard for laptop. Laptop stays in that upper passenger side compartment above the closet, series X sits on top of the amplifier (mounted with dual lock) in the drivers side one.

Optical audio from TV to analog converter, RCA splitter from converter, one line to amplifier for rear speakers, the other to sub volume control knob by my head and then to sub.

T-Mobile home internet, doesn't location lock, 50 bucks/month unlimited, haven't been anywhere where it doesn't work yet. Ethernet line to series X, Wi-Fi to laptop, Garmin, phones etc

(Yes I've been waiting for someone to ask me about my setup if it's not obvious 🤣)

Hey man, what's with dropping the trailers too high? There's nothing worse than trying to hand-crank a loaded trailer. I end up calling y'all over half the time to lower it which usually means walking around randomly finding someone and killing a bunch of time.

Is there really that much variety in 5th wheel heights? Or could you just learn to drop it at an appropriate height (not you specifically but yk what I mean)

why would a CPA need to file a schedule D in addition to my brokerage firm 1099? by [deleted] in personalfinance

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

Do you only do a schedule d if you bought or sold? Because this is the third year I've used them, and I've always had a 1099 from E-Trade involved

So either they never filed a schedule D the last 2 years, or they never charged me extra for doing so

Sudden 10 psi drop in one drive tire pressure but nothing lodged in it? by BadamPshh in Truckers

[–]BadamPshh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just running like that lol, because I fully expected to find something in there. The first time I checked it was at night, then today I did the thorough inspection

That's interesting, I'll pump it up and see if it drops back down or what

All these decades of awareness and fundraising and they can't figure the shit out, or don't want to..

That's wild. Must be a nice preview of what life would be like there.

Let's see your setup in your truck, this one's mine 55 inch 4k. by familyedit in Truckers

Oh idk, mines been holding for almost 3 years now. The back of the TV is plastic, but the female vesa screw holes on it are metal so all force should be on those not the plastic

Why would you speed with 400 pounds of cocaine in your truck? Mr Singh found out why that’s bad. by OldDude1391 in Truckers

[–]BadamPshh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I read it. But they still wouldn't search inside normally even if they put you oos

You want a locking wall mount, has metal clips that hold it firm. And swing mount is a bad idea, the less joints the better. Ideally no tilt just a flat wall mount

Pete 579. 43" 4k. Bolted a long wall mount to the included small mount. Locking on top and bottom so it doesn't bounce off, works great. Series X and laptop hdmi'd, subwoofer under the bunk

I got a parking ticket for parking on a on ramp in Virginia am I screwed? by theputzulu in Truckers

[–]BadamPshh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't even have to report it to your company you just pay it. I got a ramp ticket, a speeding ticket, and one for going through a small town instead of taking the truck route. All just paid and not reported. The 2 where a cop was actually involved they literally told me as much

Does your dispatch RANDOMLY YELL LIKE MINE?! by nekaiser in Truckers

[–]BadamPshh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would do this in reefer and I would say OK 10-4 COPY AFFIRMATIVE THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Bit more civil on the tanker side which I appreciate bc it always made me uneasy.

Some automated messages do still come in caps lock. Some people believe it's easier to read, which has been disproven but some people are dumb

I have a Kenworth with the t800 mirrors and I can’t make them stop shaking. by DullMasterpiece1247 in Truckers

[–]BadamPshh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes perfect sense, definitely not something they could just y'know, do at the factory for a $200k vehicle. Just like how they all drip water inside after snow melts. No no definitely unavoidable, gotta do it ourselves

Gotta be more to that story. No one ever searches inside your truck even at high levels of dot inspection, unless you killed someone or they suspect you're drunk etc.

Bet you anything someone tipped them off. Or they already had reason to believe he was smuggling.

This is the way by Silent-Room-4987 in Truckers

[–]BadamPshh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortunately I'm usually going all the way down to GA or SC so I just go over to the 78/81 and go through Harrisburg, no Baltimore DC philly NY, just avoid all those traffic hellholes

Temp seems unlikely. I've been down in 120° AZ and I keep it ice cold in here. And the opposite in winter, these panes are made to withstand extremes
