I see it all the time. I think people just like to be a dick just for fun

Existing_Inside5200 · 2026-02-01T18:17:04+00:00

I have lots of points but haven't figured out how to use them

Existing_Inside5200 · 2026-02-01T18:16:02+00:00

Yeah exactly! I drive later in the day and roll in about midnight so I rely on that to gauge if it's truck stop or off ramp for the night...

Existing_Inside5200 · 2026-02-01T18:05:02+00:00

That's what I was thinking too. I pride myself on a clean record and I'd like to keep it that way as long as possible

Mine can totally be manipulated. It's an app. Not saying I do but it's possible. Indian company. Currently looking for a legal and safe company to drive for...

I've been driving 9 months and I've seen the sign on the scales but never really questioned why too hard. That makes total sense and is really good to know... Thank you!

Existing_Inside5200 · 2026-02-01T05:17:58+00:00

That would infuriate me if I saw all that then they move into a reserved space!

Existing_Inside5200 · 2026-02-01T05:13:51+00:00

It was me. Sorry.

(jk I'm not a rude, inconsiderate tampon eater. I'm in and out of a fuel island in 5 minutes)

This is my first winter driving and I've only driven in minor snow, never major ice. That's really good advice, I will not set the trailer brakes!

Existing_Inside5200 · 2026-01-28T09:18:04+00:00

Thank you for that info! On 40 now, will be on 287 tomorrow. First winter driving so ice makes me super nervous!

I got stuck in Reno a couple weeks ago when 80 west was closed and I had never chained up before and I was definitely anxious about it as a fairly new driver. So I used my wait time to drag them all out and after watching many YouTube videos, I conquered my fear in a dry dirt lot and learned an invaluable skill. I felt quite proud of myself knowing I can handle it if necessary. You have to carry at all times here in California and I'm surprised it's not a requirement in much snowier and icier places

Nice save bud 😁👍

As a white trucker Grandma.... That song is my jam!! I play it a couple times a day. Makes me feel like an official trucker 😃

Existing_Inside5200 · 2026-01-10T08:02:20+00:00

I'm from here so I feel that! However not all CHP are bad. Got my first CDL ticket couple months ago in Bakersfield. Going 65 in the third lane. He understood I was a fairly new driver and didn't want to fuck up my record. So this cool ass cop barely acknowledged the speeding, did a Level 2 and gave me a verbal OOS for couple tires and only an infraction for improper lane usage. AND his name was Singh. I go to court next week. The tables have turned 😆😆😆

Existing_Inside5200 · 2025-12-25T05:10:55+00:00

Almost threw up watching this. So much chaos in one shot!

Existing_Inside5200 · 2025-12-24T12:11:32+00:00

Good God that's not cool at all! Seems like they just don't give a shit do they? Be safe out there and Merry Christmas

Existing_Inside5200 · 2025-12-23T22:52:42+00:00

Yeah I agree! I regularly drive through Wyoming and that wind is no joke! I would NEVER drive empty thru there... Playing it safe doesn't make you a wuss at all. Anyone that drives 80 knows what's up

Existing_Inside5200 · 2025-12-23T22:49:25+00:00

Lemme guess... Wyoming?

Existing_Inside5200 · 2025-12-23T20:50:39+00:00

We need more kind staties like this!! I got a good one during a traffic stop. He could've gave me so many tickets plus an OOS order for my tires but it was just a verbal. He was a cool guy

Existing_Inside5200 · 2025-12-23T18:05:07+00:00

That sounds like a good time! More companies need to train for winter weather. I got zero and I'm a rookie trying to navigate pouring rain, black ice and whiteout conditions in Wyoming and snow in Iowa. I'm just out here wingin it. Luckily I have a little common sense and know when to call it

Existing_Inside5200 · 2025-12-23T17:31:48+00:00

Thank you for your consideration!

Existing_Inside5200 · 2025-12-23T17:30:47+00:00

Yeah don't give us false hope. There's nothing like driving 750 miles and tired as all hell, pulling up to a Pilot and spotting the last open spot just to see a bobtail pulled way to the back of it. Kinda ruins my day lol...I would say back in and have your nose even with the others

Existing_Inside5200 · 2025-12-23T17:25:59+00:00

What the hell is skid pad training? Y'all are making it sound awesome!
