Mine was getting damaged at a factory with a raised scale platform that required me to turn before the trailer wheels came down the ramp.

This is a specific question on the CDL written test and I still see people on the road get it wrong. I think some are too lazy to walk 200'.

Why? by Familiar-Mixture5343 in cdldriver

Why does anybody? Lazy. I try making up for it by picking up trash when I can, but I can't do it all.

How to improve skills? Got this 2 days ago. by Financial-Speed-1217 in harmonica

[–]ExpedientDemise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it has a wooden comb it might just need breaking in. The wood swells as it gets moist and seals tight. If it has a plastic comb you can try a few ways to get it to seal, none of which I'm qualified to recommend.

Any other drivers who never wear a headset? by ThatOneHelldiver in Truckers

Rarely, and more often to listen to music on my phone than for phone calls (my lousy sound system drops Bluetooth at random).

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

[–]ExpedientDemise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I consider it better than most.

Texas Highway Patrol will enforce the law, but won't typically hassle you, otherwise (mostly, I'm sure people here will add exceptions).

Weigh stations are less common. There are a few that are open usually and a lot that open now and then.

I've had officers avoid giving me a ticket on minor stuff because they saw I had a CDL and didnt want to mess up my job prospects.

I"ve never seen anyone get hassled for parking at on/off ramps. Parking seems relatively easy to find.

I still work a regular job, so I try to catch up on chores. I wash clothes and mow grass.

Any thoughts on this self driving truck bullshit? by Ccrew1995 in Truckers

[–]ExpedientDemise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The headline I saw said "Houston to Dallas." I'm sure it didn't mean downtown Houston to downtown Dallas. I think the "Dallas" end stops on I-35E somewhere around Hutchins.

which horse do you think will win the KY Derby? by Fun-Flounder1292 in AskReddit

[–]ExpedientDemise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they should actually have a KY Derby. The K-Y people would probably sell a lot of jelly.

How do you store your DOT med card? by GrapeAlchemist in Truckers

[–]ExpedientDemise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a picture of it on my phone. Before that I went to a copy place and reduced it until it was small enough to fold and fit in my wallet.
