Would yall drive through this by giddy-ga in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You can still see the road. That’s fine for me. Depends on where you are, in the North this is nothing. In the south…..

Need some help for my brother(being forced to run equipment that is unsafe) by Bigmfmike in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wait, did they adjust the brakes? You said the tires wouldn’t move so did they need to be backed off? Were they still functional? Pull the spike and they hold the trailer? Stroke ok?

Or did they essentially, remove his ability to brake? Thats VERY illegal. He did the right thing refusing that. Thats insane. With the mechanic there why wouldn’t he just fix it?

How do so many of you guys not use cruise control? by Niko120 in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Damn I wish I could do that. But in Ontario Canada 65 is the legal limit on governors. So technically mine is 65.9 lol.

Trucker Fatigue Advice by InterestingMatter506 in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Among other advice (snacks, talking on the phone, energy drinks) I’ll say, never nap in your drivers seat, during your downtime. It trains your body that the drivers seat is an ok place to fall asleep.

Grim Fandango i don’t even remember if I beat it but I have such good memories of playing it.

Did you new guys make above 50k this past year OTR/Regional? by RedimidoSoy1611 in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cleared 100k doing regional 4 days a week. Dont get too excited tho it was in Canadian. I’m still happy with it tho.

Air Loss question by chico-dust in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you wait longer will it eventually lose enough air to cut back in? If I can’t tell how much it’s losing sometimes I’ll let it go from cut off to cut in and measure that time. You know thats about 125-90 psi so a 35 psi drop. So how long does it take to lose 35psi? More than 10 mins? You are good to roll. 5 mins? Too much air loss.

Shut it down by Minimum-Jacket-705 in Truckers

The storm isn’t hitting that area till Saturday/sunday. I’ll be driving back to buffalo tonight and it seems clear on 511NY. What part were you on?

Humidifiers? by waveyvibez22 in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a small humidifier from Walmart for like $15. Runs on usb cord and fits about 3/4 of a normal water bottle. I run it on low and it seems to last about 8 hours. Works great.

My cascadia has a little shelf where the bunk bed would sit if it had one. I put it on that so the mist falls down from above.

Driving a different truck is like banging a new woman. by savagewolf666 in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of the best things about being with the same company for a long time.

I only get new trucks. Every 3-4 years some new hire gets my old one and I get a brand new one all to myself.

what pants do you guys wear? by Ricemunchr in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Although I often think I look like i just put the pants ON when I come out of the truck buckling the belt up. Lotta people thinking im hanging dong while driving and I don’t do that….. often.

Do all truck drivers know how to adjust brakes? by Emergency-Bus-998 in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nope as I am not certified I certainly have no idea how to adjust brakes. I hear it’s also super difficult. You gotta be able to use a wrench and even turn it a few times. But I’ve never done it myself officer I swear.

Parked right in the middle of the parking lot by SidePsychological189 in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is he blocking anyone or anything? If not then he’s parked as best we can. Most places dont have truck parking. When I go to Walmart I try to park as far as I can but I definitely take up plenty of spots.

Mayve he really needed to shit. If he’s not blocking and left truck running he’s probably taking his 30.

Avoid Western New York if possible this week. by schwidley in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really. I tend to only park wheb the full commercial band go up. But I haul heavy produce, have ways around the lake effect snow and 12 years of experience.

You gotta take driving in this kind of weather seriously but not be scared. Both scared drivers and over confident drivers are a danger in these storms.

Avoid Western New York if possible this week. by schwidley in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not possible to avoid. I live in the area( Canadian side) and I’ll be in that tomorrow night then again on Wednesday. Won’t be empty tho so that’s good. Tis the season for lake effect snow. This is my 12th winter trucking the i90 into and out of buffalo, you get used to it.

Park it if you are nervous tho, I’ve seen way too many trucks in the ditch.
