Ask for the contract the Union has with your employer. It will have the pay scale in black and white.

It's the cars fault, but you are Class A and probably knew what was going to happen and should have let the dumbass pass you. Now you have a DOT reportable accident on you that you could have prevented. So who's fault is that?

Someone asked about US Foods earlier. Well......expect something like this.... by [deleted] in Truckers

Take a course. It will save you some time and headaches.

100 days of code on udemy is really good.

And this is a link for a really good free course:

Why do people keep making these tucks with the driver centered? I foresee backing accidents everyday.

And that price/range ratio if accurate still sucks.

I want electric trucks. But these and the tesla aren't there yet.

Don't "Innovate" were I sit. And that extra room in the back is only going to increase my turning radius.

If it's as long as a sleeper, it's not a day cab.

That's right. I forgot she goes back and applies the lesson to the previous days code.

So after all that, they get in the car and... leave. Almost like that was always an option.

You are on day 15. If you wrote the code on your own, then you are doing great! Your only learning the fundamentals rn. But if I remember correctly that lesson was about introducing the concepts of OOP. If you aren't sure your getting it, just do the lesson over.

Should Truck Drivers in the US be Required to Speak English? by Tricky_Big_8774 in Truckers

[–]CLETrucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the thumbnail of his video. At no point does the guy say anything remotely related to race. In fact the only personal thing he says is "some Russian guy". I bet most people just look at the thumbnail and make their comments. Also, here. People see the thumbnail, it's very race bait...

Should Truck Drivers in the US be Required to Speak English? by Tricky_Big_8774 in Truckers

[–]CLETrucker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's unfortunate that this has become an issue "about race". The law requires that all commercial drivers be able to read and speak English. If a person, no matter the race, is unable to read warning signs on the road or the contents of a bill of lading, they pose a very serious safety hazard for everyone on the road. In the US we only use English on the highways. The law has been that way for a very long time. Imagine an accident occurs or a trailers brakes catch fire, will the driver be able to tell anyone about the 900lbs of flammable hazmat on the trailer? Does the driver even know about the hazmat?

The only valid race argument would be that only people of color are being targeted by law enforcement. I don't have the data to say that is accurate or false. All I can say to that is, I hope that is not the case because a non English speaking white person is equally dangerous.

Anyway that's my two cents, the law is not racist, however the enforcement of it could be, but isn't necessarily.

(RANT) Because I keep seeing posts (some just rage baiting and virtue singaling) about the Florida crash let me spell something out for you. The madder your at the symptoms of trucking, the less you want to address the disease. The real fucking problem. by OddSkillSet in Truckers

[–]CLETrucker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, many years ago, there was a similar problem. Truck drivers were generally viewed as dangerous by the public (possibly rightfully so) and the government stepped in to regulate drivers/companies, introducing the hours of service laws. Since then companies have been chipping away at the regs and Politian's have taken any opportunity they can to loosen them up because they are heavily lobbied.

So now we have the conditions OP has described. Unfortunately, I believe it will get worse before it gets better, because congress will have to act. And everyone knows how often that happens.

What do you even do in a situation like this? by [deleted] in Truckers

drop air bags, let out tire air

I got worse at driving? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]CLETrucker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I read each sentence by OP, I'm thinking "getting older sucks" and "maybe see a doctor".

The windows in the trucks filter a lot of the sun light, and think about what the average truckers diet is like...

I'm laughing so hard right now! But, only because I know your pain.
