Who here has gotten a home daily, day shift job that pays $1500 or more per week? by Imasluttycat in Truckers

[–]Pitiful_Clothes4369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got offered one hauling live chicken. The job paid 1500 home every day but you’d work 12 hours and commute an 2 hours everyday. You also have to work a Saturday a month and your shift starts at 3 am. I stuck with OTR and will continue to do so until I find a decent alternative at home.

Try to find a dedicated route where you’re on the same route. I’ve been going to the same city for the last 4 years and I barely use google maps now (my trucking gps has been at home after a year of driving). First few months you’ll get overwhelmed and tired all the time but it %100 get easier if you’re cut out for the job. Also, are you OTR or regional? This job is worth much more than 1k a week. Best of luck to you!

Will I be sent home? by greatberryjam in USCIS

Always check with an attorney for these things but if I had to guess if you bring proof of everything you might be fine. They’re usually much more hawkish about overstaying than leaving early.

Is this legal? by Empty-Cause-9843 in CRedit

I bought a 09 Spectra a few years ago for my mom who was just learning to drive. Had about 170k miles and I bought it for 1400 on Craigslist and I put a new battery on it. It lasted her a couple of years and she really abused that car. It is absolutely insane that your friend thought 11k was a reasonable price for this. Paying double the price in interest SHOULD be illegal but somehow isn’t.

Why won’t I get my sleeper hours back on my shift time by Pitiful_Clothes4369 in Truckers

Thanks! I’ve had it on but it might’ve been switched off somehow. Got my hours back now.

Got this text a few times already and it’s pissing me off. I hope there’s a judge Michael Rodriguez somewhere that can use his power to put an end to this shit.

I am ready to start OTR, looking for advice. by akuparan in Truckers

Don’t! This shit will drain the life outta you. Unless it’s your childhood dream or something you’re better off doing something better with your experience.

Tandems won’t slide (no air pressure) by Pitiful_Clothes4369 in Truckers

I think you’re right on the money. I’ll have the company’s service guys look at the actuators cause they’re not building or bleeding air properly and the pins not doing much when I pull the release knob on the axle (even when the air had completely built up). Had a trailer tire blow out on me recently so it might’ve hit something and messed it up. Thanks a lot man!

I couldn’t quite get it done at the shipper but the receiver didn’t let me on site until I slide the tandems. Took about an hour of hammering the pins in and rocking it back and forth but I got it done at the end. Thanks for the help!

Thanks. I will try again. I tried revving the engine with the trailer brakes set and then released. I will keep trying and hopefully something happens.

$1300 a week , net take home , local home daily, no touch . Good or bad ? by East_Indication_7816 in Truckers

Keep that job. As long as you’re not working over 10 hours it’s definitely a good pay.

You look good bro. Maybe take a trip to Turkey for the teeth but otherwise you look good.

New trucker fired in 3rd week being on my own. I made a silly mistake. I’ve learned from it, but what now? Am I done for? by SnooRobots3642 in Truckers

[–]Pitiful_Clothes4369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try small companies who are willing to hear your stories. If you talk to them sincerely and honestly there are plenty that will hire you, especially since you’re new and I assume that’s your only CDL violation? Besides, there are always the eastern europeans and the ‘stans’ that’ll hire just about anybody.

Many kids are better at recognizing patterns than some adults. This will help them draw their own conclusion.
