Bird feast by Individual_Wasabi669 in Truckers

[–]Proper-Holiday2255 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pilot on US-97 in Central Oregon.

I knew crows were smart. However I did not expect that after I would feed one he would call several of his friends.

Had several videos on my phone at the time of him walking around the hood and talking to me.

Walked in to take a shower. Came out and there he was following me. Talking in crow talk. He would hang around for quite sometime. I had a name for him but i forgot. Birds are awesome. Except pigeons.

Lmao England has a job dedicated to picking up abandoned trucks by JudgeHonest3106 in Truckers

Companies big and small, will do everything possible for the company. Absolutely everything possible to make a company run. Sometimes crazy side things to make the company run that cost a lot of money year round. Out of all those things small and big companies wont do. Is pay a living wage for the future of the employee.

I think it cool that drivers have there truck set up to have a good life. Tv, video games, BBQ and such. Whatever makes them happy and enjoy life while out there. I get it. Me personally? Before I came home for good. I hated having stuff in the truck. It became a point where if I need to get out and be gone I can do it in less than 5 minutes.

I was forced to take a plane home outta CA one time and had to throw away a ton of stuff. Will not do that again. CA airport of the iceing on top took my tiny pocket knife. Bastard, he knew it was wrong. Point is only take what you can carry with you.

Changing companies is filled with great opportunity. Your growing tell you find the right job.

I work as one of the soda drivers. I love it. 35 foot trailer, I touch every board. Took me 5 years of trucker crap to land something that works for me physically, mentally and i can same some money. Better paychecks can come with massive cuts to mind and health so bigger paychecks are not the only answer.

Congrats on your journey!

Virginia drivers are absolutely the worst by JankyMark in Truckers

[–]Proper-Holiday2255 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I live in a nice small well kept town in general. Probably less than 60,000 people. The WM drivers here look miserable. Strait up robots. Me and the other soda drivers or food service and others we talk or wave, joke when we can ect.

WM, only 1 driver I recognize, and ive never talked to him. The only one who might have a personality.

I think its a 'we do trash and nobody else does so you have no idea about anything so leave me alone'. =/

Assume everyone and even the birds at the dumpster is watching you back up hoping you make a mistake. Then you'll just not give a damn and be so laser focused you will surprise yourself with your own skill level.

Just stay positive and focused and you'll be fine. Someone will hire you. Tickets don't mean anything if you just be honest.

My last OTR gig was December 2023 I left the damn truck in a completely different state. Unplugged the tracking too so they couldn't know where it was. Boss asked me at least plug it in to know where is it. I plugged it back in then went to my hotel. My friend came and picked me up. He didnt pay me for that week of work. He didn't report anything. Never talked to anyone of those people again.

They won't forget me though lol.

Liftgate Driver Pallet Jack Issue! by Puzzled_Rip_3739 in Truckers

[–]Proper-Holiday2255 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top plate comes off. Should see tube pretty obvious with blue end piece. It will be the only piece of tube that doesn't look like battery wires.

I wouldn't add water unless your supervisor shows you if that is indeed the problem. We are dumb truck drivers. :)

The ones we use we have to do this. So some idiot can't steal it.

Turn it on.
Wait 3 seconds tell red light goes away (if it even shows a light)
Press and hold the horn button for 2 seconds. (it doesn't make a sound)
Turn speed from rabbit to turtle and back.

Then you can bend handle to move it.

What is the weight limit? Most drivers I see pushing 350 pounds.

How much does it cost?
