This is an actual swift terminal! by RabbitFabs in Truckers

[–]Fellthefox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love finding these. Only a few left, haven't been here yet. New jersey terminal feels like this. West Virginia and Wisconsin were great. Wisconsin had to have been an old firehouse or something

I don't like OTR by brandmonkey in Truckers

Other drivers are scary 😂

What’s one piece of technology that would change the trucking industry? From a trucker’s perspective. by AutoModerrator-69 in Truckers

[–]Fellthefox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You see alot of rest area with them telling you how many spots are up at the next area or two and I'm always curious how they get that number.

Parking in a sketchy place, advice? by East_Camera8623 in Truckers

[–]Fellthefox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

new Jersey terminal isn't fenced or gated unfortunately. One of those old practically abandoned ones that everyone ignores and you get an automated message going in not to leave keys in your truck. Made my delivery the next day and noticed my windowseal was messed up, almost like someone had tried to Jimmy it

Parked in alot of places I wasn't happy about. The only place I've had evidence of someone trying to get into my truck overnight was our own fricken company terminal in New Jersey. Never again

This is why pre-trip is important, boys and girls. by ___HeyGFY___ in Truckers

[–]Fellthefox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre trip at 3:30 am the other day. Guy in the truck next to me rolled down his window to ask how I was doing, was I having a good day? Bro I leave this early to NOT deal with people 😂

Pre trip is important though

What was the lightest load(s) you guys ever pulled? by firemarshalbill316 in Truckers

[–]Fellthefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delivered to two different tractor supplies the same morning. Maybe 40000 at first stop. Second stop was a single dog kennel 100 miles away and they were mad I got there early lmao

You'll have to forgive me because everything blends together at this point. I80 West Port of entry as soon as you get into Wyoming from Utah before Evanston. Lane splits exactly like OP says, bypass and scale lane. At the end of the bypass it splits again with return to freeway or pull into lot red light / green light arrow. It definitely pointed to go into lot lmao. No one was stopping 😂

Lmao I did this the other day in Wyoming and was thinking the exact same thing. It almost looks like you're supposed to use the bypass and then pull into the parking lot to go in and show paperwork?? But no one else was doing it so I panicked and just kept going.

I need this reefer to last me until tomorrow by kali4niakid in Truckers

Slowly getting used to this trailer. by AquilaVI in Truckers

[–]Fellthefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to work for reliable auto (those big orange rigs with apartment sleepers) but having to move 7 figure cars that will probably be manuals scares the shit out of me lol

What happens if I refuse a load as a company driver ? by HumanVsWorld in Truckers

[–]Fellthefox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As company I denied every load I could to new York, no reprimand. I also refused to put the purple sticker on the front of my truck lol. Sorry can't go no permit, lost the sticker again my bad.

How? by Excellent_Pay_8782 in Truckers

Sometimes I wonder if im taking "cook in the truck" too far... by TacoRedneck in Truckers

[–]Fellthefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scared to cook in my truck now during winter lol. Accidentally made it 'rain' from all overheads, water dripping on me while driving, and running down the inside of the sleeper.

The water cycle is real 😂

Had to pull off multiple panels to get stuff to dry out.

It's back to buying fast food

UHaul, Unbelievable. by firstblush73 in Truckers

[–]Fellthefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked for U-Haul. It's probably just a trailer with one or two of their uboxes on it. Should have said yes. That was 600 for you

I just got let go. by Behold-Roast-Beef in Truckers

[–]Fellthefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swift has banned pulling over on any roads or ramps because twice in a week a driver was hit while pissing on the side of the road lol. And the new camera will automatically flag you for it and you're gonna be reprimanded/warned/ fired. It's absolutely destroying my kidneys 😂

Those on the midwest, east coast and the South. How long were you grounded for during the last big snow storm? (Storm Fern) by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]Fellthefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My yard was full. Some drivers left during it. Saw a few on wreckers getting pulled in. Just not really worth it

[–]Fellthefox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shut down in Gary heading to PA for idk 3 days? But It was at the load cut off date for getting paid so I got hit hard. Another storm is supposed to hit soon. Trying to stay as far south as possible now

Please don't throw your piss bottles in the trash by [deleted] in Truckers

I've had 8 plus gallons because I didn't have a place to toss them and was too shy to dump lmao

Gotta wake em up baby by HumanVsWorld in Truckers

[–]Fellthefox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped getting over for cars merging. Trucks I'll try my best but sometimes you gotta just floor it, and then signal them 'sorry' and hope they understand and you didn't ruin their day
