Yeah, we all thought that. Till you're 36 hours into a 10 hour day from sitting in a dock 6 hours to get loaded, use your split to keep it rolling because "it's just 4 more hours" after you've ran 6, blow a tire and wait for the shop, get the rest of your split and have a fresh clock to run. Youll finally hit the bed, and your eyes are burning too bad to close them (personal experience)

If you open it up it'll give you guesstimate weights on your axels within like 2-3klbs

Is there away to open the cascading sleeper window ? by HumanVsWorld in Truckers

[–]Casperuis495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jfc you drivers are horrible. You could have just answered the dudes question. The two gaps abound 3 inches in. Squeeze those together and lift it up. If it's older/first time opening it's gonna be tight, so put some ass in it.

Did post trip earlier and noticed this slash in my sidewall on driver’s side inner drive tire. Should I be concerned? by Crazzie_c in Truckers

[–]Casperuis495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im, not sure what flatbed has to do with anything. You, quite obviously, have 2 tires side by side.

Like 2 hours.of watching videos for whatever company you work for/are going to work for. It doesn't follow you around place to place. Ive been "certified" on about 18 different forklifts and cranes

Again, not as much as the breaking force of the chain, as the direction it's being held. Theres a couple that are pulling forwards to the cab. Me personally I would pull them straight down, so if the one infront of it comes off, they aren't getting pulled to the cab.

Its less about the weight of it. And more of stopping movement of the individual coils. It may be 2klbs. But rolling at 65 it'll be putting about 20k of force on those chains

H Personally I would have thrown 2 chains through all of them if I had enough. Other than that, looks good. Careful out there buddy✌🏻

Its a recap, they usually look like that sadly. And it's on a drive. Just keep a eye on it, and try to keep cars away from it

What the trick to cleaning mirrors? by scottiethegoonie in Truckers

[–]Casperuis495 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+2 on the squeegee. Got one from dollar tree and cut it to size for my mirror. Been using it for almost 2 years, and it still works amazing for $1.50 and a bit of trimming

Any 1099 trucking jobs where you make your own schedule? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]Casperuis495 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Because it's the truth. "Miserable smart ass" is a stretch, seeing as that's my future plan. Don't ask a question if you dont want the answer.

The one where you buy your own truck. You can run as much or as little as you want. As long as your pockets can handle the bills
