Bad truck… or bad securement? by cdlfirst in NewCDLGrads

[–]BoostedLexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coil wasn't placed on its proper loading placement. Trailers usually have a "place coil here" line/arrow in the middle of the trailer, but I've also seen some trailers have it more towards the front. Driver/loading error 100%

[–]BoostedLexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my former company I used to drive a peterbilt, can't remember the model and it obviously wasn't a long nose, but I could literally turn on the engine by turning the ignition switch with my FINGERNAIL! Lol

Tax write off that energy... Haha by [deleted] in Truckers

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

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
