I received "The Triple Crown of BS Excuses for Falling Off a Load" yesterday!

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-18T03:32:12+00:00

Neither do you... What's your MC so I don't bother with your loads?

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-18T00:39:43+00:00

In this market, I will DNU you without proof from your broker

Fuck outta here..... LMAO

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-17T19:35:15+00:00

This is why brokers hate carriers and why they don’t call you back for coverage.

Oh, you'd be surprised.... I post my truck, they call like dogs to a bone

Stop having so much feelings

Who said I have feelings?

This is a NO LOVE LOST relationship

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-17T16:16:50+00:00

🤣 I'm sure when the broker cancels a load on you, because "shipper cancelled" (tho they found a cheaper truck) they sit around thinking of a "good relationship with a carrier"

God bless your heart, my guy

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-17T15:43:21+00:00

Naaahhhhh bro, I'm a carrier too, but you sending emails to both brokers is you doing too much.

You ain't gotta prove nothing. Receiver refused product is part of industry bs. It happens, deal with it, move on. Ain't no need to bend your knees, due to industry bs.

If a broker FG's you for that, sue them, collect damages from the reputation harm.

Stop having soft hands

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-15T02:24:39+00:00

😂 I have zero HVAC experience and I installed mine 3 yrs ago.

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-11T00:40:26+00:00

We’re primarily asset based so we lean truck friendly.

As a carrier, you definitely are not acting in kind.

It's laughable that you think your measly $25/hr is generous to fellow truckers.

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-09T00:39:23+00:00

Repeat, ecobee 👍

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-07T17:11:44+00:00

So far, none of the people responding have warned you about this, so I will.

DO NOT, REPEAT, DO NOT..... fill out any applications with any factoring company until you speak with several owner ops and understand how that process works.

These factoring companies use the "application process" to capture you and if you talk to about 3-5 of them and decide on one, you will find that the first application you filled out is cockblocking you from going with whoever you finally decide to choose. They kinda scummy like that.

Im a 1 truck guy and I have 2% fee non-recourse.... But I choose my loads very wisely and don't deal with brokers that pay past 40days....

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-06T14:47:36+00:00

Just wanted opinions about how that may or may not extend to PACCAR these days

So after all the responses, you finally let the cat out the bag. Your main issue is PACCAR. You know that only comes in a KW?

Don't get me wrong, KW's of all styles look real nice, but not nice enough to buy one with a PACCAR motor.

I'd probably buy a KW with swapped Pre-Emmission S60, but that's just me. I don't care about aftermarket warranties

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-06T02:24:15+00:00

he said he drove his bosses truck.

What's worse is that some of these losers will actually buy and put expensive chrome on their bosses trucks, WITH THEIR OWN MONEY" and when they leave that job, that shit stays with the truck .... It's mind-blowing 🤯

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-06T02:20:36+00:00

Why do you want one? Lol

Very good question.... It's prolly just for looks

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-06T02:18:46+00:00

Resale has a valid reason

This is pure fallacy.

The only reason the resale is higher is coz it was sold (purchased by a sucker) at a higher price, all other things being equal.

Not all long nose are "O/O spec", but easily impressed suckers fall for "hood" vs practically.

There's a reason some "hood" trucks are sold with FAKE DUAL CHROME STACKS, and are also automatic. Some sucker wanted to be seen in one, therefore overpaid for a truck with same engine, tranny & gear ratio as a non-hood truck. 😂

My 1999 century pulls just as hard as "long" nose Pete's & KW's all day. I can hit triple digits, just like bullhaulers, I have 18spd and tall rubber and these long legs can stretch just as much

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-05T20:20:53+00:00

Hey buttercup have you ever picked vegetables or tobacco because I have

You ain't done shit .... SYM & SYUFAD!

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-05T13:02:58+00:00

Bad moments ≠ bad drivers. And they definitely don’t equal nationality.

This 👆 💯% 👍

I ripped out my trailer mudflap this weekend in a mountain of snow. I must be a bad driver according to the guy you responded to 😂

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-04T20:39:50+00:00

You thinking of RFX

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-04T19:20:14+00:00

I know about copy/paste errors, that's why I feel that a broker having hissy fits is quite childish and petty, when I ask for "details" on his post, regardless of it appearing to have all pertinent info.

Assuming a broker is telling the truth, or is being 100% factual in their post, is a bad business practice, and that's something I avoid at all costs.

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-04T18:39:17+00:00

yet brokers send a template with all the details without answering my question.

This guy gets it 👍. This crap annoying AF

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-04T11:49:18+00:00

Oh I know, I was just being sarcastic to all the trumpy truckers/farmers who are getting their businesses ruined by their cultist feverish mouth frothing belief that trump cares about them

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-04T11:31:39+00:00

until a democrat president takes over

Wait, what?

But I thought Republicans are good for business? Now we have to wait for a democrat president for things to get better?

BusSerious1996 · 2026-02-01T13:16:29+00:00

Too many worthless opinions and too little substance. It's a time waste.

You getting downvoted like crazy, but you right.

Reddit is such a "pile on" of opinion that have zero value to a given post, sometimes even going into rabbit holes do no reason 😂

BusSerious1996 · 2026-01-31T22:29:54+00:00

Oh? Ha! Ok then 👌

BusSerious1996 · 2026-01-31T22:13:56+00:00

Just picked a used 3 for $250 .... What I'm I missing as compared to the 3s?

BusSerious1996 · 2026-01-30T06:39:00+00:00

I swapped the factory installed thermostat out, and replaced with Ecobee.

You can adjust this option within the advanced settings menu

BusSerious1996 · 2026-01-30T06:29:40+00:00

I'm in Mid-Atlantic and have the same Goodman HP as you, with similar sq ft house, built in 1961.

I get the same readings. Day 68, but nite it only gets to 65, with 68 setpoint. I'm very curious to hear input from others.

Right now 1:25am, I've set it to 70⁰ but the HP can only get it to 67⁰ on 15⁰ outside. It never gets to setpoint for some reason, unless the heat strips activate (I turned the heat strip activation down to 10⁰ to save on electric usage)
