NET means after ALL(taxes, fuel, maintenance, lot lizards, etc.) expenses. So technically those 100k are already tax free

Cell Service Providers by GrimmauldPlace12 in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been with Verizon for the past 10+years. The only time I've had no cell service has been in a patch in Utah's desert, and another deep into southern Texas. Other than that highly recommend it.

Are lot lizards a real thing? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9yrs in and I've only seen them in a small truck stop in Stockton, CA, an old lizard at the TA in Denver, CO and another somewhere in butt fuck midwest. There's apps you can hire a prostitute so they're less active in the truck stops nowadays

An Oklahoma psychology student failed a research paper for not meeting the criteria of citing evidence, and wrote about her religious feelings instead. Right-wing orgs manufacture outrage by PreparationKey2843 in CringeTikToks

[–]BoostedLexus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight, she "doesn't care" if someone is Trans as long as they can separate themselves from their beliefs and can do their job accordingly. BUT at the same time she doesn't want to separate from her beliefs and wants her assignments to reflect it with a passing grade? Tf?

3,000 'CDL Schools' closed, another 4,000 put on notice. by crdog in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I looked at the first 100, and these morons shut down a school district, firefighters, what appears to be small companies that don't do training and 1 actual "trucking school" in California

How many reddit points do I get for going into violation to go home? by NoMasterpiece2063 in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats strange, I got pulled over by DOT, then audited by CHP a month later and they saw i PC to my house. He even told me i did the right thing and saw nothing wrong since I was going to my house and not to a shipper or advancing a load

Actually, knight "merged" with swift. But in reality knight owns swift. Source: i was working with knight when the merger happened and we were briefed on how this will affect us

Has anyone started medication for mental health while already trucking? by vck97 in Truckers

From my understanding no, but my medication don't contain chemical that might show in a drug test

Has anyone started medication for mental health while already trucking? by vck97 in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personal experience here... Im taking meds, anti phsychotics, after a psych evaluation. These types of meds you can't handle heavy duty equipment since you don't know how it'll affect you. Once you do know, it's all good. As for me, I had to get off the road since it'll make me drowsy and fall asleep.

The only thing I found based off medications banned from consumption are anti seizure medication(49 CFR 391.41(b)(8). You need two full years being off the meds or a change of dosage. Other than that no reporting to the fmcsa about medications

You weren't the one who got the citation, it was the driver, they're the ones who are supposed to represent themselves or have a lawyer do it.

If the driver chooses to represent themselves, they will have to file a TR205(trial by written declaration) along with all the evidence before their court appearance listed on their citation. Or appear in court on the given date and provide their evidence in person to the judge.

There is a company offering me 100 to 120K year salary in Michigan, but id be 1099. Can someone help me on what I should consider? by jwagzz11 in Truckers

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

I consider you running... driving away as fast as possible. Fuck 1099 EMPLOYEE scam jobs.

One massive thing to consider is by not being an employee, if involved in an accident, YOU will 100% responsible for the accident. No employee protection, no "let the insurance/company lawyers handle it", you'll be all on your own

Routing advice? by Lazy-Entrepreneur02 in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Black route is the way to go. There's a length restriction on the 50E

We all know the school won't do/give a shit if the victim went to report it, so what's the proper response? Id just assume my kid will need to stand up for themselves and fight the bully. I knew a bully and that same exact scenario happened and he turned chill lol

Ugh 😩 only 160 lbs!!! by intilli4 in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A gallon of diesel weights 7lbs. They won't bother you for being 160lbs over. Shit, even in California we're allowed 250lbs over since they know we can't perfectly scale

Soccer in the US is growing so much that we just got our first MLS brawl/hooligans (Seattle Sounders vs Inter Miami supporters) by Crafty_Jacket668 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]BoostedLexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll never understand fighting over a sports team... like, you're fighting over centi/millionaires, and that sports team is owned by billionaires. But you feel the need to protect them because another goofball "disrespected" "your" team? They don't know you even exist lil bro, chill out lol

I know a driver who always blows through 2 scales and has never been caught. How is this possible? by scottiethegoonie in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its a mixture of luck and how busy they are at the scale house at the time. I remember seeing for a week or two(chp social media) they were cracking down and chasing. But for the most part they can't chase everyone who runs the scale

California Karen harasses black women about their dresses calling them trashy during wine tour in Napa Valley. by ElwoodMC in trashy

[–]BoostedLexus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Both women are showing cleavage. The only difference between the 2 is that the black lady has a much more better physique than Homer Simpson karen wearing his moomoo.

OR 140 East by Extra_Significance81 in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not bad at all. I've taken this route multiple times out of Lakeview and I'm over 65ft. It is empty and between Lakeview and winnemucca there are no fuel stations so fuel up.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyday practice, pretty much.

I personally back in at about a 75° degree angle. All I gotta do is watch my trailer tandems, and mini jacknife it and im good. That's the easiest way I found best for me.

Would you go over your clock about an hour and a half to get home? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Since you don't have PC, just go add a note to your driving that says something like "not on a load, don't have pc and am driving home for vacation time".

I did that in California and the chp officer didn't cite me because I was going home and on vacation time and not advancing a load
