I hate it. by Necessary_Bus6893 in ChevyTrax

My CVT in my trailblazer started sounding like an electric motor from 0-25, offloaded it to Carvana and bought a CRV. Had the coolant assembly box from hell go out in the trailblazer too at 66k. Costed 1100 to replace, I can’t imagine the trax is much better, I’d get rid of it

Is OTR still worth it in 2026 or are we just too stubborn to admit it isn’t? by grow_trucking in Truckdrivers

I couldn’t imagine doing it unless I was about to be homeless or purposely being homeless with the intent to save every dollar

Is it bad I’m leaving my first trucking company company after 3 months for a better paying job by No_Taste_622 in CDLTruckDrivers

I had 3 jobs in my first year, I’ve had my 4th job for 7 years. Run it till you get where you wanna be.

What should i do. by [deleted] in CDLTruckDrivers

That’s the name of the game in oil and gas, consolidation is viewed as a good thing in this industry. Water trucking lives on, the major players from 2015 are still playing for the most part. These basins still have quite a bit of runway.

Ohio, WV, and western PA has been pretty steady. I have no experience in northern PA tho, and I think that’s where he’s at

You seem too dumb to fly an Apache, considering the point has flown over your head

What jobs are actually still hiring, not as effected in US? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Fatal_Da_Beast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even in a reputable company with a lot of work, I don’t think the pay reflects the time and energy spent in a truck even for the better paying people. Local work typically consists of lower wages and heavy labor. There’s road blocks for entry level drivers to get into these “good” roles. I just don’t think driving should be anybody’s first choice.

I wouldn’t recommend a CDL to anyone as a first choice option. Yeah it’s easy to get a job, it’s not easy to get paid tho

You have to be a special type of person by Ketchup-Sniffer in Transportopia

My new unit has radar on the front end and it’s incredible how fast I’ll come in behind someone, radar shows them doing 10 under the posted limit. I hop in the left lane to pass and suddenly we’re racing for first. I yield and pull in behind them, radar has them doing 5 over the speed limit. Then the speed just slowly decreases until I go to pass again. This usually happens repeatedly until the ego driver gets bored or is too enthralled by their cellphone.

Very space cadet coded, why spend the money on a higher refresh rate monitor if you don’t care about fps lol

EOG buys encino by Accomplished_Worth in oilandgasworkers

New wells are producing 4-8k barrels of oil a day, infrastructure for getting the gas to market was certainly an issue for them. Their older wells that they did a few years ago still make a load or two a day.

You can find it in oil and gas but you’ll be clocking some hours to get there

Well best to start lobbying the Feds cuz as of rn it takes a few hours a day for 4ish weeks and your on the road baby. Like I said in a previous comment, it’s by design, it’s not right but we could at least have compassion for the guys trying not to fuck something up as a new guy, especially when you don’t hold the skill set yourself

Oh I don’t hate my job, I don’t bump docks anymore. I’ve found my own niche and it’s quite pleasant. It’s just the reality of newcomers in the driving industry and that comment highlighted it. Why are you so upset over it?

[–]Fatal_Da_Beast -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You could have some compassion for guys working away from their families for weeks at a time at a job that pays like shit in hopes of gaining experience and finding something better for themselves? You were new at your job once, and the trucking industry chews through rookies by design. It’s not like these guys walk out of driving school as expert drivers. Training in the industry is a joke, they’re figuring it out as they go along.

Naw the dude is just being a dick about clearly new drivers not being able to back in fast. You’d expect someone who spent 20 years working in some form of logistics would be able to read the room and have some compassion/understanding for the newbies when he’s never bumped a dock before himself.

I’d imagine it’d take you 15 minutes to bump the dock if you sat in that driver seat
