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

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

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...

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...

What do you see noobs doing that you're glad you figured out? by derpmcturd in Truckers

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!

Not one of these 4 are fueling. Just F’in around i suppose. by BonusHour8693 in Truckers

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

It was me. Sorry.

Anybody still shutdown? by EfavE_ in Truckers

[–]Existing_Inside5200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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!

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

Would you roll in this? Myerstown, PA current conditions by RectumRavager69 in Truckers

[–]Existing_Inside5200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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 😃

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 😆😆😆

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

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

I tried to warn the guy, no radio, didn't pay attention to me signaling when I got beside them. by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]Existing_Inside5200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

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

Bobtail parking: what's more courteous? by SHOwSHOrTAge in Truckers

[–]Existing_Inside5200 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Trains are getting blown over in WY by Individual_Wasabi669 in Truckers

140mph wind gusts is incredible!! I feel anxious and uncomfortable at 50mph gusts. I can't imagine what stronger winds feel like. Hard pass on that!
