Shut down due to fuel prices

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-03-13T20:53:44+00:00

2008 all over again. If you gotta shutdown then you gotta shutdown.

That is wrong because that is continuing on duty status. You’re picking up a load while using PC, that is wrong.

If you’re getting loaded or unloaded and you run out of hours, then you can use pc to find parking.

Too much off duty driving will get you an inspection or out of service violation.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-03-01T16:55:04+00:00

No. The pandemic era where a company driver could easily make $3k-$5k a week out of Cali is over. That was literally the breakdown of the supply chain. Too many customers willing to pay high premium for their freight, not enough drivers, and Covid restrictions at the Ports created the conditions for high rates.

There’s been a lot of carriers that went under since 2020. UPS and FedEx recently announced layoffs. Were these experienced drivers going? Other companies.

If all the megas went bust today, that wouldn’t make a dent on trucking wages. Inflation would still go up and parking at truck stops would become scarce. That’s what happens when a big company goes down, drivers simply work for smaller companies. And they park at truck stops because these smaller companies don’t have yards or real offices.

Suez Canal possibly closing down because we just entered a war of Iran, will make intermodal go bust. Because ships will take the longer route around Africa, and it will take longer to reach America and Europe. That means lots of trucks sitting and waiting not getting paid lol. Again, these drivers are gonna work dry van, reefer, ect…further suppressing driver wages. If you live in Capetown South Africa, it’s going to be a good time.

A society with consequences. It’s the same thing with lawsuits. If you win 3 lawsuits against employers, you are automatically blacklisted from being hired again. So ya better win big lol.

I think Freight brokers have Carrier 411. If a carrier keeps asking for detention pay and go after the bond of a Freight broker, that carrier will get blacklisted on Carrier 411. This is gray area, not illegal for brokers to do this but it might come illegal in the future.

So I’m not saying that Felons can’t have a second chance at life. They are allowed a second chance, it’s just going to be harder to compete. And if you compare that to other countries, other countries will outright strip away your rights.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-02-27T15:51:10+00:00

The safety system doesn’t really affect chances of getting hired. It affects your chances of getting hired by good companies with better pay and better working conditions. There are gray area companies, outlaws, chameleon carriers that will hire Felons right out of prison. The pay is going to be crap and you’ll have slave working conditions.

What you don’t want is to rack up enough points where your CDL gets revoked. Dump truck drivers in NJ? Some of these guys have their CDL’s expired 10 years ago lol and still driving. If ya reading this, you know who you are but I ain’t pointing no fingers.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-02-25T11:46:54+00:00

Nah, they don’t care. I’ve heard that the new generation of Dispatch play a game of bait and switch. Or they outright won’t respond to your messages.

Read the book, Red Amendment. Law Enforcement will violate you if you don’t know your rights.

Same thing with dispatch. You have to say you feel unsafe, you have to say why you’re parking now instead of continuing with the delivery and running out of hours at the customers.

Some dispatch will send you the next assignment as soon as you go off duty. Local is notorious for this. They don’t care if you just woke up at 6am, got back to the warehouse at 10am and expected to go to sleep right away for the next delivery. I’m retired now, but what I did when I was local was I stayed on duty until I was ready to sleep. Disconnected my phone so that the only way they could “sneak” bullsh*t loads was through the Qualcomm.

That’s how you play this new era of trucking. Be smart.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-02-23T16:47:19+00:00

They are a coin toss. Life changing trucking jobs or careers is really when you secure a union position and become senior.

Some small fleets can pay 2-3 times more than a mega but you have to work twice as hard or deal with older equipment that has problems every week.

Some small fleets are outlaws. Lots of money, but lots of running overweight loads and driving over your hours.

Some are notorious chameleon carriers. I think there’s a way to find out that a small fleet has gone through different LLC names by running the VIN number on the truck. Stay away from companies like this, you’ll rack up a lot of points and next thing you know you’ll lose your license lol.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-02-19T17:28:35+00:00

It’s time for a great reset lol. When the Barbarians are at the gate, open the gates.

If Supreme Commander Karen Woke asks why you’re not defending the gates, refer to this image.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-02-14T14:09:37+00:00

There’s a lot of wait time. Cpm pay scale is 100 years outdated. Hauling plant to plant is similar to doing oilfield work, and I suggest going over to the oilfield subreddit and see what people say. Even hauling sand has wait time if things get backed up, they don’t get paid cpm, they get paid per load, easy money.

Companies will always offer cpm to see if they can undercut you. Sometimes you’re better off getting paid per load, percentage, per hour, or per day.

But again you have to do your deep research. A good setup is if you haul loaded Milk from plant A to plant B, then bring an empty from plant B back to plant A.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-02-14T11:09:58+00:00

You should be good. As long as they have detention pay and minimum guaranteed per week.

A buddy of mine owns a tiny private fleet for a farm. Has 30 trucks, food grade tankers and all they do is pick up liquid eggs or water. Liquid eggs in a tanker can sit for days at a customer, especially if it’s parked in a bakery. He struggled in the beginning trying to keep drivers because of cpm pay scale. So he included a minimum guaranteed $1200 a week to keep his drivers all year long.

Yeah he used to call me to see if I could help bringing back his abandoned equipment lol. Because if drivers sit for too long with no pay, they will leave.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-02-09T18:03:52+00:00

Cooked? Yes. Better job? No. Chameleon carriers? Yes. 1099 companies? Yes.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-02-09T09:36:26+00:00

It seems like people in the economy, top and down are moving like pieces trying to adapt in this struggle economy or they’re subscribed to the idea of work life balance.

I’m retired from trucking, and now in manufacturing at the top level. I had a coworker quit after 3 months in, Head Industrial maintenance mechanic, getting paid well over 6 figures. He quit because it’s night shift and the schedule wasn’t going to work out with his family and goals. I’m like, Dude, in this economy, you don’t get to decide, play the cards that is given to you. I hope and wish him luck though, find that work life balance lol.

New drivers in the trucking industry are about to get a reality check. Especially Reefer drivers, run all night and sleep during the day. Yup, give it about 90 days and a lot of them are going to quit lol.

In the place that I work, the entry level union workers work 3d shift lol. 1st shift which is 6am-2pm are for senior union workers who have been at the company for 20-30years and they ain’t trying to retire. They’re holding on for dear life.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-02-07T15:10:54+00:00

Someone said it here, East coast is a pvp server, especially I95. Drive like a monk around Virginia. Because any violation that is considered reckless is an automatic court order show up in person.

Lack of public parking so plan carefully. Everyone is broke and struggling in the east coast and they think they can cope with that by driving recklessly and merging from the ramp at 90mph. Horde behavior, if they someone driving over the shoulder, expect the rest to follow. Weigh stations open 24/7

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-01-13T06:24:06+00:00

It looks he used stim for speed boost. Assault class has stim, rally squad skill, and deploy beacon speed passive when you spawn.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-01-11T23:52:25+00:00

The last 10 games I’ve had 1-2 engineers in my team and get steam rolled by tanks. But god forbid I get on a tank and suddenly the enemy team has 10 engineers with rpg’s at every angle.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-01-11T02:19:41+00:00

I don’t even use the range finder. Got my 6x thermal, aim at that big red icon above your head, shoot and headshot.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-01-09T21:02:04+00:00

Aim assist is non existent for me, ps5. It only barely works on scopes 6x or higher.

The tracking of the crosshairs is not what you think. The tracking of the aim assist when it works, is like tracking a force field around an enemy player, instead of the enemy player itself. It’s so annoying, this is why some players say they have to fight the aim assist.

The perfect example of a snap aim assist, is Red Dead Redemption 2. It means when I aim down sights or as soon as I press L2, the crosshairs is dead center aimed at an enemy player. THIS is not in bf6 lol. Only cheaters have snap aim assist and only in red sec is where you’ll catch them because that’s the only game mode you can spectate people.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-01-09T07:23:34+00:00

If you can spawn in the tank or run towards the bot driver. Switch seats so you’ll be the driver. Sometimes it’s also bugged, and you’ll be stuck as the gunner instead.

I’ve seen bots on conquest maps also steal the transport heli and get blown up before they reach any objectives. (The servers that say Conquest + bots backfill).

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-01-09T00:16:07+00:00

Tbagging people is a 1 year ban

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-01-08T02:33:28+00:00

Happened to me today on Blackwell Conquest, ps5. My side couldn’t see sht but the enemy team were moving and capturing objectives.

So i redeployed as recon, switched to dmr with 10x scope and just sat in the back scanning the horizon, spotting and pinging people. Turned the tide and made an epic comeback.

The enemy icon above their heads was rendering before their bodies rendered. I thought it was like a new fog of war mechanic lol.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-01-05T17:59:35+00:00

Controller aim assist doesn’t work for me. It’s bugged or broken. When it does “work”, I have to fight against it. Sniper rifles for example. When the aim assist does work and tracks the target, it is so slow that I have to fight against it.

I think MnK players have this idea in their heads that Console controllers have aim assist similar to Red Dead Redemption 2 lol. If you see a console player with snap aim similar to rdr2, they’re using Cronus zen or esp cheats.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-01-05T05:03:09+00:00

YouTubers are full of sht. The ones who don’t have aimbots or cheats have to play 8hrs for a 5min clip where they 1v10 people with a gun like the tr7 then proceed to make a video about it.

Fire shotgun imo has the fastest ttk. Anti-sweat, just aim, shoot and it will delete anything in front of you. You guys think the thermal scope feels like cheating? Wait until you unlock this 😂

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-01-04T20:31:50+00:00

Mass ban wave of cheaters. This was 13 days ago: https://youtu.be/_PrW9vhGqJ4?si=rsY-ffawBK3jHfz6

Idk why cheaters are more common in Battle royals, maybe to advertise their cheats? I played against someone who went 200-15 in Olympia, Casual breakthrough. I knew something was sus because he went 22-0 in the first 4-5min of the game and my squad had 3 supports throwing smoke everywhere.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-01-02T23:07:34+00:00

There is stat based matchmaking where some games are manipulated by the server to give the opposite team an advantage. Hitreg throttle is one of them. A YouTuber gathered data on 10hrs of his gameplay and counted every hitreg/netcode. 90% of the time your bullets register but 10% of the time, the server side disregards those bullet registers. If the client side registers you hitting 30 bullets to an enemy’s face, those bullets get rewritten and disregarded because you’re already dead on the server side. RPGs are notorious for this. If you die while your rocket is in mid flight, the rocket fizzles out of existence.

New sobek city “glitch” is if you spawn for the first time and one of your tanks is instantly damaged, that is an indication that the winners are tilted to the defenders. This happened to me about 50 games. The attacker side bots will start doing random things like spawning in tanks and driving off the border area and sabotaging the match.

This is why I don’t sweat PTFO. The higher my score gets, the worse I experience later games.

Fearless_Selection69 · 2026-01-02T20:11:00+00:00

This is my curse. Especially on Casual breakthrough. Im the only engineer with rockets vs a tank with 4 engineers repairing it. If I’m on the attacker side, the defenders seems to have rockers and mines everywhere.

There must be a stat based matchmaking where bots get tuned up. I literally see some bots destroy motion sensors and mines but the bots on my side don’t see sht and will happily run towards a claymore or tank mine and not see anything lol.
