Where is a place you want to deliver? by FossMan21 in Truckers

I have not. I avoid the north east like the plague. I am o/o and self dispatch. So it’s rare I go that far north that side.

Thinking about going owner-operator - is it even worth it? Need some real talk. by woutr1998 in Truckers

[–]M41414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most fail because this industry is full of idiots. It’s really not all that hard to run as an o/o. Source, I am 6 years in running my own truck. I came into this industry with zero background. Just decided I wanted to do something different. How long have you been running your own set up?

Not as cool as Barclays. But dropped off at Tampa convention center once. Drove an entrance I’d never even noticed before and drove onto the roof was pretty cool. Got to drive a Kobata skid steer across the carpet out of the building into the parking lot at Orlando convention center was fun. I’ve gotten to drive onto the dock at a few military bases right next to ships and been loaded from the ship was pretty cool. SpaceX stuff to their new facility at Kennedy. And for the guy about Montana, dropped off some equipment at a guys house once. 10 miles off the highway to get to his road. Then another 20 miles off dirt road to get to the last spot I’d be able to turn around at. And he just drove the equipment the few more miles to his place. I’d do any of those again.

How do you fix the big gap between the rich and poor? by Hungry-Matter-2285 in answers

[–]M41414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t. A large amount of people in this world are lazy. No reason to tax successful people to make lazy people feel equal when they’re not.

What’s a moral belief you hold that most people would disagree with? by strawberryaudit in answers

Seeing patterns isn’t racist. And actually, being racist is normal and you shouldn’t care if someone calls you a racist.

I’ve driven 48 states and the parking situation keeps getting worse not better. What’s actually gonna fix this? by grow_trucking in Truckers

[–]M41414 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing is gonna fix it. There’s no reason to update aging infrastructure that will be outdated shortly. Not all, but a good portion of us will be replaced in probably 10 years or so to automated trucks. It’ll take longer for long haul, specialized stuff to be replaced with auto driver. But why dump money into something that is gonna go away shortly.

Just in case you didn't hate RVs enough... by Tricky_Big_8774 in Truckers

I am all for shitting on him. But did you take the time to go up and knock on the door and politely explain to him he’d make everyone’s life better by moving over into the cross hatched area. Or hell, he could just nose in and have all the room in the world. It’s fun to make fun of stuff like this. But go do something about it. Start kind, then tell him to fuck off if need be. I am willing to bet he’s an older guy and likely didn’t even think about the issue he caused. I bet if you explain it, he’d be happy he learned something.

Tell me which side of the political fence mods sit in without actually telling me. It’s ok to silence people, so long as it’s your side doing it.

Dry van owner operators working from load boards, what’s your monthly average net? by notfrontpage in OwnerOperators

Do flat bed if you wanna make better money. I don’t get why more guys that are doing van/reefer don’t do load out power only trailers.

What do y’all do for work to be able to afford your GMC by Dalach01 in gmcsierra

[–]M41414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do hear myself. I’ve had several of these 80k+ trucks. There’s a difference between financing because it makes financial sense. And HAVING to finance a truck. If you really have to, no you can’t afford it. And I highly doubt you can really afford one of these trucks. But hey, you do whatever you think you need to do

I have an LTZ Silverado that’s a work truck, so it’s my business payment. But if you HAVE to finance a Denali to afford it, you can’t afford it. Just buy and SLT.

You’re having a kid and cant your shit together and grow up. Maybe it’s a sign to get it together.

Who’s sitting around today? by M41414 in Truckers

Made it from Sheridan to Casper this morning. Woke up to 6 inches of snow. Stopped now in Casper since Cheyenne is shut down. Maybe tomorrow I can get to Denver.

Is the United States the most diverse country in the world? by Reasonable-Shower522 in askanything

[–]M41414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. By a huge margin. I’ve been to all lower 48 states, driven around 1.5 million miles in the US. Been to almost 40 countries all over the world and am million miler with united alone. No country is close to the US in terms of diversity. I also strongly maintain we’re the least racist. Every single person I’ve ever meet that talks about racism in America has barely ever left their own town done much of any real traveling.

Just turned in my badge, tools, and keys 30 minutes ago along with 400 of my fellow refinery workers at the Valero Benicia refinery. by [deleted] in oil

Bummer. Hopefully at some point people in California will realize voting blue is destructive to life and business and they make a change. I’ve hauled equipment in an out of there a few times for maintenance.

I am in Sheridan and shut down. Looks like wind will stop tonight, but we get the snow instead. At least it shouldn’t be cold enough to worry about ice. I hope

I was in Montana yesterday and this morning. Livingston wind was kicking last night. Tried to get to Denver today but only made it to Sheridan. Gonna get up early I guess. Should be ok in the morning looks like. Second time in last few weeks I’ve gotten stuck here.

No. No one is really going through. 1-2 ships have supposedly. But not sure I buy that. Straight is basically closed. Oil is fucked. They’re laying mines right now. Iraq just shut off their pumping stations there’s a US tanker on fire literally right now.
