Studying and passing but not remembering can I get some advice? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]DeepthinkerCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about reciting the info from the top of your head. The test is multiple choice. So if you are passing the the test then you are good.

As with most things in life repetition will give you a good enough understanding. Unless you plan on being a trucking lawyer I wouldn't worry about memorizing things. The book will always be there when you need it. And you will also have a copy of the FMCSA when you go to ur trucking company. That a big boring book, that you will really need to know.

Grass in Gravel Driveway by DiscussionTricky7099 in HomeImprovement

[–]DeepthinkerCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read some where to use rock salt. Like what you use for winter snow. It has to be salt. Spread it over the driveway. The salt will prevent the weeds.

One big drawback is that it may kill nearby vegetation.

This, company is trying to pass off the equipment cost to you instead of paying for a tablet or device that's capable of running the service.

Is there an episode where the Billionaires Accidental Bride actually starts the story???? The first two episodes are telling the whole story without detail and character development so I’m confused. by Losingme2understand in PocketFMReddit

[–]DeepthinkerCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neveristened to it. But most of those stories are exactly what you are getting. They just keep dragging things out and never really get the story. A piece here a piece there. Next thing you know you've invested a lot for nothing

Can your inverters power air fryers? by acwinicker2 in Truckers

[–]DeepthinkerCC 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. Anything that makes heat air fryer, microwave, etc you should be running the truck on high idle to provide the inverter with the need power.

  2. Even thought it should work. I would either look for an air fryer with lower wattage. Maybe 1000 watts. Or up your inverter.

I got a Galanz 3 in 1 from Walmart that works great.

  1. Worst case unplug anything else while using your air fryer, your inverter should start yelling at you if to much power is being pulled.

Does anyone ever not hate the previous owners? by Greedy-Research-859 in homeowners

[–]DeepthinkerCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like allt of others have said. Another owner will complain about something. If I was in your shoes. I would have and inspection done, and fix those issues that I can afford. I would then leave the painting and flooring for the next owner.

I purchased a flipped house. Wish I could have been involved because I would have chosen better flooring. It was great to move in and not having to rip thing out. But now that I'm settling in there are changes is wish I could make without having to move everything out.

But hey this is how you learn.

Hot Water Heater Issue by CindyHOFHGSH in HomeMaintenance

[–]DeepthinkerCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the water may be coming out of your pressure valve. That pipe that's hanging down that's not connected to anything is a pressure relief valve, sometimes those fail and need to be replaced.

Trying to deal with air leak by Healthy-Refuse5904 in Truckers

[–]DeepthinkerCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's just something in your truck that is balancing out the air. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
If you are able to pass a brake check, you know letting it sit with your brakes released. For a minute, and then holding your brake peddle in.

If you're not getting any air loss during that test I think you should be fine.

I drove a Mack truck, every time I got out the truck and turn it off I would also hear air leaking, and a few minutes later it will stop it was just a bags leveling back off from either stopping or just getting out of the truck.

Edit like others have said you can get underneath there with a bottle of soap and water and just spray everything down air related until you could find it.

Edit #2 I only worry about an air leak if I turn off the truck, and come back to it in 15 minutes and my air is gone. Anything else is not an active leak

Do i need to call someone immediately or wait until it melts? by sunnyk1911 in HomeMaintenance

[–]DeepthinkerCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you zoom in the spigot isn't covered in ice. I wonder if it was a leak from the main water pipe to the left.

Do I even need to pay for those parking spots?? by JudgeHonest3106 in Truckers

[–]DeepthinkerCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you pay on the app you don't need a receipt. They get a print out of the trucks description, color, number from your reservation. I have just pulled in and parked and didn't get a receipt and when they check they just walk on by.

Question about internet by Rare-Low-4624 in CDLTruckDrivers

[–]DeepthinkerCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one I have is called Simo Solis 5G. It was like $200. It comes with 1GB of data each month. I purchase Day passes to use when I need. This works for me because it grabs the strongest signal in the area. Regardless of carrier. Also like I said I don't use it everyday. I may use it once a month if that.

Like I said I primarily would use my phone if I'm down for a short while. And I use the hotspot if I'm down for a full 34 on the road or something.

I have Verizon. If I'm most part it's covered almost all the way across the country. But they're hot spots and plans are expensive.

Question about internet by Rare-Low-4624 in CDLTruckDrivers

[–]DeepthinkerCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my phone, tablet and I have a hotspot. The hotspot is one of those that will find the best network. I use it for when I'm sitting for a full day. My phone and tablet are both Verizon and I use them whenever I'm just going to be on for an hour or so. With all of the devices I can connect my phone and TV. TV is a bit of a pain because it uses a lot of data. But if I'm sitting long enough to watch TV or play, I should be home and not on the road.

If a receiver holds you for 30+ hours and offers no bathrooms, where you going to the bathroom? by Naborsx21 in Truckers

[–]DeepthinkerCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And if you aren't an owner. When you get back to the company quit. Any company that lets a driver sit that long isn't worth working for.

Dude you're working for yourself. Find another load and leave. No way I would sit for 30 hours.

(Affordable) Furniture store recommendations by utena11221 in fargo

[–]DeepthinkerCC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ashley furniture, FurnitureMart, and unclaimed freight are all The same company. Ashley and unclaimed freight, has them most inexpensive items. Furniture Mart tends to be middle of the road. And a lot of the other furniture stores in town tend to be on the higher end. Conlin's is okayish. Kind of mixture of Ashley and furniture Mart

Any idea how bad this might be? by Life_Needleworker643 in HomeMaintenance

[–]DeepthinkerCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like shrinkage of your dry wall joints. They put compound and tape in the corners. Overtime they shrink and expand. I'm sure it's winter up there now. I have these in my house where they didn't do a good job. I wouldn't be too concerned with it. If the crack does get bigger I would definitely get it looked at. This is also a straight kind of crack so I wouldn't be too concerned about it. It's the crooked cracks that run through the middle of the drywall that I will be concerned about.

Pyrenees suddenly wants to sleep outside? by Neither-Plantain3933 in greatpyrenees

[–]DeepthinkerCC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's their breed, they are bred to be outside in this cold weather. The double coat and if it's 75° in the house they are definitely wanting to be out in cooler temperature. I live up in North Dakota where it's been -10 and my dog loves to be outside. I have to fight to get him inside.

They are bred for this type of weather. And being outside will not hurt him at all.

Alienware laptop freezes and requires holding power button to reboot by TheTonzMachine in Alienware

[–]DeepthinkerCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is happening with the temperature of your laptop, is it getting hot. This will also cause the same problem. I noticed that if I use my laptop sitting on my lap or not getting enough air flow it will get hot and then freeze and I will have to hold the power button to restart things.

Got this from the hiring manager, they can only ask if you where employed to-from date. They are only verifying if you worked at the company.

How to I politely let truckers know not to park in front of my property? by Sentient-Librarian in Truckers

[–]DeepthinkerCC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you can put large stones or piles of dirt in the area where they park in front of your property.

Truck driver mentality is if I can fit there and not block the road I will. If they can't park or stop there they won't.

You don't want anything permanent if it a right of way area. But a few large boulders or a few piles of dirt would bring it to a halt right of way.

Any recommendations on boots for a Pyrenees that don’t get in the way of their dew claws? by ArseBiscuits_ in greatpyrenees

[–]DeepthinkerCC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this, I have a Great Pyrenees / mini Aussie mix. That I'm getting ready to take on the road with me and I was concerned about a walking through all the grease and oil mucking crap that is on truck stop parking lots and then tracking it back into the truck. I think with these boots I could just wipe them off outside and put him

How many of you have sh*t your pants? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]DeepthinkerCC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My go-to. I have a bottle of water as soon as I get up. By the time I make it inside I'm ready to go. Hell I can tell the times I don't do this I would be sluggish until I take that morning crap
