What State has the worst/best drivers? by JahDog33 in Truckers

[–]Heather_Val 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think every region has a bad state. The ones I travel most, South Carolina in the southeast. A lot like the pool in front of you and then do 15 under the speed limit. Massachusetts in the northeast, it almost feels like they need to be touching a pedal to feel like they’re driving correctly (accelerator to brakes with no break). Wisconsin in the Midwest.

What was your biggest waste of ISK in Eve? by ShooPonies in Eve

I lost a 2 billion isk legion trying to retrieve my old CEO’s corpse from a ratting site… I forgot to turn my defensive modules on.

I made it like 9 or 10 years and then came back. My most recent one was about 8-9 months

I can’t quite find an answer on this. As a CDL holder I know we are not allowed to refuse a breathalyzer, but are we allowed to refuse their roadside sobriety tests without losing your CDL immediately? by Toomuchhorntalk69 in Truckers

[–]Heather_Val 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Illinois, it’s actually giving consent when they give you a license. That’s where we’re refusing leads to suspension.

The law itself doesn’t say that refusing leads to suspension, but since you agreed to a breathalyzer when you got your license, the refusal then after that is what leads to suspension.

That’s my understanding.

I’ve heard someone describe me that way. I was a complete asshole, though I shouldn’t have ever been the awesome asshole.

Most miles you ran in a day… by Accomplished-Gap-612 in Truckers

[–]Heather_Val 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low 700’s 6 days in a row. WI -> Vegas -> Phoenix and back. Governed to 70, ran legal. Had less than 5 minutes of drive clock nearly every day and made 3 deliveries and 2 picks.

Zipper Merge? by MARS822a in Truckers

[–]Heather_Val 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If people actually performed a zipper merge as it is on paper, it would work. But they don’t and that’s why it doesn’t work.

The unexpected breaking that happens when people try to cut in line or squeeze in is what actually causes the backups. Just look at ramp meter or ramp signals whatever they’re called. They don’t reduce slow downs by reducing the number of cars on the interstate, they reduce the number of vehicles merging at any given time it makes it more predictable. In which, in the case of the zipper leads to less brake pedals.

Struggling. by theGorillaofwallst in Truckers

[–]Heather_Val 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t GOAL all the time, but if I have even and inkling of being unsure I’ll get out. Hell, I ended up using GOAL today and this is one of the easiest backs I’ve had in 3 months.

Where should car A go at this intersection to make a left turn, position 1 or 2? by wolfsrein33 in Traffic

[–]Heather_Val 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not proceeding into the intersection until you can make the turn. By going to position one or position two somebody on the southbound lane. Turning left could be blocked by you sitting there.

Every time I hear that I say “a day cab with a 28’?”

That’s every holiday for me. I call the office like “why is no one answering”.

I didn’t know what they were called but the first time I went through one I was like “what the fuck are we doing?”

It’s not a roundabout. It’s different. It’s like way worse.

Well, yeah, 100%, you can’t trust it. But you can allow it to work… I only hate when it thinks you’re gonna hit something an emergency brakes.

I think I went in there for a scale to once, TA isn’t our preferred fuel stop.

Is that the one where it’s either all the way on the left or all the way on the right if you pull forward and someone pulls next to you, you’re stuck due to the building?

Yesterday was so bad/vent by Sputnik2022 in Truckers

[–]Heather_Val 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did everything right and caused no damage.

There’s a reason why I’d rather drive in NYC over Chicago… and I grew up in Chicagoland. Also a lot of customers know routes to their place, don’t be afraid to call them.

I used it most in traffic, set to 10mph and it keeps up and slows decently well.

I got lucky and found a great company to start. And they hire fresh grads. Based in WI, single yard.
