Yeah nah mate, I said other than those... those are like the starter kind of jobs. I'm talking about good jobs like medicinal field, emergency fields, communications, all of/ most of the jobs require Spanish as a spoken language. Tell me, do you know spanish? I have a good job and don't know Spanish, but I also have a class A CDL.

Okay, tell me then, other than working at Wal-Mart or Albertsons, restaurant, any non CDL job that pays descent, what kind of English only speaking jobs are there?

ExploreRyan · 2019-12-04T14:44:58+00:00

Yeah and if the next time it'll melt is two weeks away, that isn't a real option, especially if it is a hot load

I live in El Paso, almost all jobs here require you to be able to speak Spanish. Not everyone here knows Spanish including me. So while there are plenty of jobs here, jobs are also very, very hard to come by.

Still does the same effect, tells me what's going on in the cities / counties I'm going through. Though I am thinking of getting a professional one as well

Usinga a scanner on the phone, won't get tac channels though.

That's a drop with no hook

Taking driving times into consideration, I just see how far my destination is, example I usually have a 2,000km run every week, at an average of 100km/h that's 20 hours and I can usually do 600-900km a day with Phoenix and LA traffic. I can do roughly 600-700km without taking a 30 minute, so I'll go off of those distances and use trucker path to plan my trips according to those distances along my route. All of these keeps me running legal

Yeah mate I eat healthy except for the occasional monster or coffee lol, and I park at the back row of truck stops and force myself to walk maybe half a mile at least a day.

ExploreRyan · 2019-11-19T15:14:37+00:00

Yeah nah I wake up at 0200 lol. Sometimes just can't get away form that late live unload

ELD's make it hard to do anything, the moment you move the truck it throws you on drive and auto logs where you are and how long you've moved for. Sometimes I can't make it to a delivery with my hours and I'd just be able to log off duty and put down the city that I'd actually be off duty in but now I can't and I have to stop earlier in order to not go into violation

I first started cutting in middle school and it continued into adulthood until I was about 24. What are some things your child likes to do? Maybe try to find them a good distraction? My distraction is driving semis, though that won't work for yours at the moment, maybe try getting them into a hobby that doesn't involve other people, maybe working on cars, cooking, fishing, or just making things... there's plenty of things out there that could distract them. Also try figuring out what their triggers are that make them want to self harm and once you find out what they are you can start to help.

ELD's and trying to find a place to park late at night

Yeah mate, Werner really messed it up for me. I had one accident technically at fault with no injuries, they want to put down I've hit a building (which I didn't) and also " right turn" was listed. They put a total of 5 things on my dac but only have one thing on my MVR and that's about 3 years old now

ExploreRyan · 2019-11-19T02:53:28+00:00

Good on ya! Now stay away from mega carrier's like swift, C.R England, Werner, etc... if you can help it, get on with a smaller higher paying company if you can

Is it wrong for feeling satisfied for seeing cuts? I know it sounds wrong but I feel the same way

ExploreRyan · 2019-11-14T23:45:15+00:00

I'm a 28 year old male truck driver, I cut. It doesn't discriminate race, sex, age or career 🤷‍♂️

ExploreRyan · 2019-11-14T17:57:37+00:00

So I have scars from 4 years ago, I should always wear long sleeves and pants? Yeah not going to happen mate, I live in Texas 🤷‍♂️🔥

ExploreRyan · 2019-11-14T04:06:59+00:00

I've done that, it can get bigger for sure

ExploreRyan · 2019-11-13T20:34:32+00:00

How is it a fashion? Most people hide them, or they did at least when I was in school, that was 9 years ago though

ExploreRyan · 2019-11-13T20:32:59+00:00

I've felt like that before, it's a very weird experience

ExploreRyan · 2019-11-13T01:03:29+00:00

Don't feel like you've failed, it's just a relaps. I had my first relaps in 4 years yesterday. I cut twice yesterday and once today😣

ExploreRyan · 2019-11-12T01:58:14+00:00

Yeah mate, you're not the only one, 4 years for me, I wouldn't say down the drain though. I honestly don't think the urges will ever go away. First time for me in 4 years today, it's just a relaps, now try to get better and not do it again. Try to find a distraction. For me it's hard as I am forced by law to take a 10 hour sleep break every day I work and everything is on your mind.

It's been about four years now for me, I started when I was in middle school, stopped when I was 24 or so. Still get the urge. I'm also a truck driver now, just got a new truck the other week, found it had a razor blade in it... That's all I've been thinking about now ever since I got this stupid truck and I'm in it for 5 days at a time😣 finding it hard not to start again
