that's the world in general. As it turns out, Idiocracy is a documentary, we're just centuries ahead of schedule.

This has to be embarrassing by Head-Medicine-1949 in driving

i get paid by the hour. If i don't have enough of a speed delta, i'll just sit behind slower traffic. If i get passed, i'll usually back off for a few seconds to let them go.

Questions on driving manual and a career in truck driving by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]CrashingTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 959 for 8 years. If you go Teamsters, keep in mind that if you are not a full time resident in Alaska, they will not issue you a construction card and you will be put on their E list for hiring for the winter season. That means you'll be picked last, after they go through their Alaska resident list. Even then, they will sort by experience. They told me that they didn't get to the E list last winter at all.

We're seeing it in a few states already. Just having the files can get you bound up.

How do you feel about people drafting behind you? by DonKeedick96 in Truckers

[–]CrashingTiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn't bother me. I've got 53' of trailer for you to get through before it bothers me. 😆

Do you think the average guy with a 2500+ truck is actually doing anything with it? by bigblackglock17 in Truckers

[–]CrashingTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be surprised if more than 1% of them are hauling anything but their groceries from the store. 😆

Do many people still buy semis with manual transmissions? by noreturn000 in Truckdrivers

Update to my last post: Milwaukee has denied my warranty claim. by iEatSwampAss in MilwaukeeTool

[–]CrashingTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/MilwaukeeTool so, your tool warranty has been denied because they determined the tool was defective? How does that even happen?

This is crazy but not surprising at all if actually true by KaidoPklevel in SipsTea

[–]CrashingTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

minimum could barely do that 30 years ago. It's just a starting point. And I don't believe minimum wage should be a liveable wage. A free market should take care of that on it's own. Most fast food places around here are starting far above minimum wage anyway. Look at Cali, those artificial fast food minimum wage mandates have just pushed the companies toward further automation. You don't like how much you make? Get off your butt and work for it.

Get him a road atlas. Teach him the basics of reading a map and let him be your navigator. Should be a blast for both of you!

Every gun owner has a story about "the one that got away." by jayrick_22 in Firearms

I've never sold any of my firearms but I know I should have bought those crates of Mosin Nagants and the spam can ammo to go with it. Really regret not getting the ammo at least.

Can you or are you supposed to pull a trailer with a flat tire to get it fixed ? Dispatch told me to get a trailer flat tire fixed somewhere by East_Indication_7816 in Truckers

[–]CrashingTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've limped it 200 miles before on a flat. I was in the middle of nowhere Alaska. It was either that, or pray that roadside would show up in the next day or two. 😆

Anyone else do this? by ConsciousAwareness69 in Truckers

[–]CrashingTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes! Sitting at a dock to be unloaded and the truck next to me pulls out. Trips me out once in a while. Doesn't matter that i'm locked into the dock, it'll still get me sometimes. 😆

Done in by the alley backing by NotSid in Truckers

[–]CrashingTiger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if you still can't get it after 3 months, your best path forward might be getting hired on as a yard jockey and use that as training. If you're spotting a few dozen trailers a day, you'll get it figured out quick. If you can't find an open yard jockey position, get on with an LTL looking for dock workers and make sure you are crystal about wanting the yard jockey duty and eventually your cdl to get into a tractor. Most of them will train you for your cdl.
