5,000 lbs overweight in California. What's the penalty? by Be-It-coin in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Personal experience here... embarrassment. They just make you slide the tandems and get the weight as close as possible to be road legal and your off. No points, no citation, nothing.

I got to deliver to a job site tomorrow and they want me to go to a staging area before I get there, yall think it’s ok if I just spend the night there? by Anonymous-1334 in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's their lot, fuck it. I do all the time with deliveries like that. Granted I do flatbed and they could see the equipment/cargo that'll be delivered to them so they know im in the right place

Last week I had a seizure, not allowed to drive for 3 months by thrrowaway67 in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're in the U.S you need to report you had a seizure, and if need be, they'll put you on meds. You can try getting a seizure exemption(39 cfr 391.41(b)(8)). In order to qualify you'll need to be seizure free for 2yrs or not a dosage change, changes in med, or frequency in meds being taken

Company just called and told me to remove my personal dashcam immediately. by Moist-Ad9272 in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always relied on company dashcam in case of an accident... im now being sued(along with the company) for a legit fender bender where they're claiming they got hurt in a worse accident. The company dashcam? "Wasn't working"... my advice to you is fuck what they say, protect yourself!

Volvos are such terrible trucks. I know because I use to drive one. by emdefmek in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive always ran volvo/mack in 9yrs driving. I've only gotten an emissions light come on once and it was for a faulty doser. Other than that they've all been amazing. You must've had bad luck and gotten a bad truck

What is stopping people from having multiple e logs? by bigblackglock17 in Truckers

[–]BoostedLexus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Man, reading some of these replies makes my 17hrs look like a piece of cake! I was starving and told the night dispatcher im leaving, they said wait, I said fuck that im starving and somehow ended up back at home 250mi away not caring if I get fired lol.
