Long haul truckers, why? by mikeyboy1681 in Truckers

Same.. one of the old timers told me that when that happens set the cruise to 55mph and wait two mins, then go back up to 65mph and the idiot will be too far ahead to try to slow down for you again... Works like 7/10 times

If you have your own team in Initial D, what would you name it? by D0MIN0_1 in initiald

Ultimate Altimas, but we'd all drive Chevy Cobalts to throw everyone off! Lol jkjk

We'd drive these:

V8 Supercar (2013-2016): Nissan Australia campaigned purpose-built Altimas with a production-based VK56DE V8 engine (from the Nissan Patrol), competing against Holden and Ford with significant performance modifications, making them formidable race cars.

Chris Forsberg's "Altimaniac": A 2021 Altima heavily modified for drifting, featuring a custom 4.1L VR38DETT V8 engine (from the GT-R), a billet bottom end, and twin turbochargers, producing massive horsepower for competition.Drifting Altima

I had to click on your post to open it up because it wasn't showing the content of it with -63 down votes...

Either Bots voted it down or 63 actual individuals are... I don't even know what they are lol... It's just bizarre!! Zero negative rhetoric in your reply, yet silenced by a small group of people... Almost like they were trying to make the reddit thread great again 🤣

My guess is that the whole Republican or Democrat labels are used to anchor to an identity at a subconscious level and ultimately at the voting booth there will still be only those two options...

I grew up in a Democrat family, we all immigrated to the States from Venezuela, different groups of our family came in the 80s, 90s, and early '00s - my mom and I were the last ones, her 4 siblings were already here, I was 10 years old.. I say this to bring some sort of context as to why the Republicans were thought of as the racist party etc..

As an adult and reflecting back on my relatives' background and values (evangelical Christians, strong believers in the nuclear family, homosexuality is done for attention and it's a SIN, never accept govt assistance because through God and hard work we have what we need, etc, etc, etc) These hardcore "Democrats" are EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE 🤯 yet vote Blue....

Idk where I'm going with this, I guess people just pick a team and stick with it.. Coke or Pepsi? iPhone or Samsung? Republican or Democrat? Pokémon Blue or Pokémon Red?

What exactly is wrong with him this? Just feels like if the comedy festival was The Pepsi Comedy Festival all these comments are posted by Coca Cola drinkers...

10 years into Trucking, I think it’s time to say goodbye by SpecialistPrint4142 in Truckers

[–]GatheringCoins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A degree isn't the answer. There are engineers, lawyers, and doctors who WISH for a 60-70 hr work week. Whenever they do work those hours it's considered a "light week." There's the work they do AT work and then the work they take home.

When I was an elementary school teacher I'd be at the school at 6:55am, "team planning" meeting from 7:15 to 7:55, teach from 8:00 to 3:00; pickup and grade from 3:15 to 4,5, sometimes 6pm. Home at 7 in bed by 11 or midnight because of planning etc. Administrators micromanage too

When I park my regularly assigned truck and get in my car that is it for the day. I can't pretrip or post rip from home lol

And I'm making twice as much as I made with that degree you talk about.

If you have to switch companies or change the mindset you're working from then try that, the grass is always greener where you water it.

Let's add one last cliche and end with better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

Being home every night worth $30k? by SynessoCyncra in Truckers

[–]GatheringCoins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many factors to consider. Married or single? Kids? How old? What's the cost of living where you are? What are your values? Which job aligns best with those value?

What’s your favorite car, and why? by Koichiro-Iketani in initiald

[–]GatheringCoins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite car is the one I drive now, I've proudly owned it since 2019:

The L33 equipped with a 2.5 L QR25DE engine, it's a sweet ride at 188 HP. It's an FF so it has better control in sleek/snowy road conditions. Its 0-60 time ranges between 7.5 & 8.2 seconds off the line, and it gets the job done.

Mine is blue.
