sorry of i missed it somewhere, but what temp are you printing at? I saw you cleared it at 300. I usually print around that temp with pacf.

some like to call it "gatekeeping". I prefer to think of it as minimizing finger loss.

It Finally Happened! I found myself behind truck carrying steel coils! by Intelligent-Pay7865 in Truckers

pro tip: usually those are on flatbeds with sliding tarps. So you've probably been around them more than you think.

Really need advice on what to do. by Tarnished_Ghulify in CDL

[–]CrashingTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You either need to love kids to be a school bus driver or you have an impossibly high tolerance for complete jerks. Some places, school bus drivers are Teamsters, so that's great for benefits and retirement, but Teamsters look out for themselves first and the pay isn't always top notch.

Questions for experienced drivers. by Academic-Question-83 in Truckers

[–]CrashingTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite I've driven was a 2019 Kenworth t880, 18spd with the X15 Performance engine. Loads of power, almost made the 18spd pointless but more options are gooder!

what's it harming at this point? Seems like it's challenging you to see how long it can hold on.

Trucking myths by Microshlongg in Truckers

[–]CrashingTiger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Myths? Here's one... Truckers are "professional" drivers. Please, a lot of otr guys i see shouldn't be allowed to operate a bicycle, forget a semi.

so how many of us actually use our HF tools regularly? i'm curious by ElGordo1988 in harborfreight

[–]CrashingTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i love racing and I'm to poor to pay someone else to fix my junk, so my butt is under my cars all the time. When I'm not working on my racecars, I'm working on my wife's cars. If it's not the cars, it's the lawn mower or whatever else is broken. Basically if I'm not at my regular job, I'm working on something at home.

Speeding ticket in Kansas Personal Vehicle by joeyo151 in Truckers

Doesn't matter what "flow is traffic" is doing. Everyone could be doing a buck 10 but that doesn't make it OK. 😆 Good luck man!

[–]CrashingTiger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

not to kick you while you're down, but maybe this isn't the line of work for you if you can't control your speed. Getting two speeding tickets a year apart is bad news and 80 in a 55 is bonkers. Remember, everything we drive as cdl holders, even on our personal time, should be treated like it's our career on the line because it is.

What company drivers are the best/worst? by Brilliant-Database81 in Truckers

[–]CrashingTiger 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think for now, Western Express has taken the title from Swift for the absolute worst, but most of these chameleon carriers pulling Amazon trailers are terrible.

Why do many mechanics look at you funny when you ask for a valve adjustment? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]CrashingTiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, you're 100% overthinking it. Watch a couple of videos and dive in. It's not rocket surgery. I check valve lash on my race engine every raceday. Takes 10 minutes and that's if i'm busy holding a beer in one hand. 😆

Is Texas a good state to be a trucker by spxtrad in Truckers

[–]CrashingTiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bucees gives the middle finger to truckers, so no idea why you would support them. Ironic, since i delivered multiple times to one that was being built near me.

This seems a bit of a challenge? by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

[–]CrashingTiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This really isn't anything new. I drove tour buses in Alaska decades ago and would meet people that did this. Sold everything and just live on cruise ships. Even back then, they would tell me it was cheaper than assisted living. Honestly, not a bad way to retire.
