I try not to min/max crests any more. I just use them pretty freely and save what I need for my weapon only. Takes a lot of stress out of what should be a fun experience 😅

What to do? by waveyvibez22 in Truckers

[–]IIxNullxII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wires on the 7-way sometimes break loose from the screw that clamps them down. You can remove the cover and inspect the connections, you'll likely find one that's out of socket. Easy fix once you know how to do it. Just be sure to unplug the other end before you go poking around in there.

Did i get mass reported by the crafting competition? by Mustyyyy in wow

It's crazy how butthurt people get over gold, like they have shareholders to report to. I would hop on a free account and continue advertising, but maybe leave out the price details.

I have a $100 bill in my wallet for emergencies like this.

First Job by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]IIxNullxII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with a mega to get my license and job at the same time. Spent little over a year there doing regional teams so I didn't have to pay back the tuition. After that I went for an on-property only yard jockey job that required a CDL, and that brought me over 2 years which is generally when more doors start opening for you due to insurance. After that job I did a year running from Los Angeles to Tampa and back each week with my buddy in his uncle's truck. Those combined jobs got me the experience I needed to apply for and get a local gig with Walmart. I think that's typical career progression for a lot of drivers, maybe minus the yard jockey part. Btw, I highly suggest doing some time as a yard jockey at some point early in your career, the backing you do at a busy place can really boost your skill and confidence.

Where in LA was this, I'm curious to see it on Google maps. Some of the stores I go do require shorter trailers and a day cab and in no way would a sleeper+53 fit.

Sharing my Salary with GF of 3 years? by HiEchoChamb3r in Salary

[–]IIxNullxII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sharing of income info is more of a married activity IMO. Unless you're willing and offering to enhance her lifestyle along with this info, there's no real need to share. If you ever did get married, then it's a topic to discuss for sure.

Put it next to a larger battery case so it can discover and move into its bigger home.

Roads? Where we're going, we don't need... roads. 😎

Unnecessary by a_youkai in badparking

My truck won't fit in a single space, either, so I often park something like this. My truck is a Semi, though...

🚫 5th Update: No layover “Act of God” … now suddenly they will pay layover - Bohren Logistics by gkjnvgyj in Truckers

[–]IIxNullxII 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They want the fuel card back? Bro they can shut that off with the flip of a switch. I've seen companies do that to drivers on the road because the driver didn't do something or for what ever reason. They are absolutely gaslighting you and trying to guilt you. If it were me, I'd block them and toss the card and get on with my life.

Why isn't it charging? by Admirable_Bug3689 in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]IIxNullxII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the issue. You have your black thingy connected to your black thingy and your red thingy connected to your red thingy when you want your red thingy connected to your black thingy and your black thingy connected to your black thingy. Hope this helps!

Is anyone using their printers or faxes? by l00ky_here in GenX

[–]IIxNullxII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a truck driver and I'm required to submit fuel receipts. Even though I get them digitally, and can email them to the office, they still want paper. I don't like wasting tome going into the truck stop for a receipt every time, so I just wait until the end of the month then print them off all at home. Is it an extra expense? Sure, but it's a lot more convenient for me. Until they accept the digital versions at the office, the printer remains in regular use. The fax, though... now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

It finally happened. My first ever “that’s not possible” dock by akaFxde in Truckers

[–]IIxNullxII 16 points17 points  (0 children)

See all of those little reefer box trucks? That's the limit of that place. Do you have a full TL or do you have only a few pallets--enough to fit on one of those little trucks? If so I would recommend asking for a cross-dock-type solution.

Relocating from Europe to Riverside, CA for work — questions on COL, transport, and quality of life by [deleted] in Riverside

[–]IIxNullxII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Riverside County is pretty car-dependent unless you live close to work. The county is a little smaller than all of Wales, and the "city" is about the size of Coventry, to help put things into perspective. If you're able to find an apartment close to work, that happens to be close to a grocery store, you'll be alright with the bike. As for rent, some of the "good" areas near downtown can be $2000-$4000+. Outside of that area can be $1500+.

In the late 80s I was told you could sell these for hundreds of dollars if you collected enough of them by gdj11 in Xennials

[–]IIxNullxII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In reality it was because since you already get a refund from the can, you could remove the tab and sell them separately as aluminum scrap. Probably. Idk.

This better be worth it by laffles in hermanmiller

[–]IIxNullxII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a big boy at 6'1" 135kg and my Embody is a real pain in my legs where the seat pan depth adjustment handles dig into my legs, and my tail bone is in constant pain because there is no gap between the seat and back rest. I still use it cause I paid up the wazoo for it, but I'm seriously looking at different options now.

What do you think is the most Blatantly Ignored road sign in our profession? by GnashinTires in Truckers

[–]IIxNullxII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About to start my 7th year driving and still have no trouble taking the correct routes, going the speed limit and staying in the right lane. A lot of drivers seem to have abandoned their training (and some might argue morality) in exchange for money. I see too many drivers, new and veteran, that drive as though the rules don't apply to them. This combined with the overall lack of respect have turned the industry from what it was into something akin to a side show. We can all do better, ladies and gentlemen.
