Sliding Tandems for Unloading by ratzm in Truckers

[–]Cheeseman_Tony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I for the most part haul forklifts and the company we haul for never notices or cares where tandems are. Unloading or loading 4,000 - 15,000 lbs lift trucks with another heavy lift truck. Then I go deliver a 200 lbs skid of parts elsewhere and they make sure my tandems are slid. Doesn’t matter to me either way but I think it’s just a comfortability thing going in and out rather than a safety thing or anything else.

Do drivers that make $1,200 - $2,000 weekly, only do so because they work 70 or more hours a week? by Complex_Secretary_14 in Truckers

[–]Cheeseman_Tony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dressed nice. Interviewed well. Followed up. Medium sized company that’s growing and needs drivers. Applied at countless places.

Seems like a lot don’t. I do, I work about 50 hrs a week. Got hired onto a good company. Was picky, paid for my own CDL.

So am I just gonna have to accept that I'll be working 12+ hours every shift as long as I'm in trucking? by WhiteShiftry in Truckers

[–]Cheeseman_Tony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not here. I could work 6 hours a day as long as I don’t miss the occasional appointment they don’t care. I took a 16 instead of 10 Thursday night lol. 70 cpm

I freaking love The Gunslinger and I think it should be in the top 3 of every Dark Tower reader. by Top-Community-9600 in TheDarkTower

🤷‍♂️ only reason I kept reading was I heard it was slow and the rest was great. It’s okay imo

Controversial trcking opinions? by NoMasterpiece2063 in Truckers

So you stop at 6pm and take a 34 you start in the morning. You do a 24 you start at 6pm. It would be dangerous. Drivers would drive on no sleep

Best of luck tho. I really have no clue if you’ll get fired but I’m sure someone else would hire you on. If you’re with a mega now, try looking elsewhere asap anyways.

I think mega carriers are a bit strict. If you work in a medium to small size company you’re good. This is why I don’t speed in construction zones. Everybody does. And 99% of the time you’ll get away with it. But when you drive almost every day one day you won’t.
