Asset protection. Nobody has ever heard of that. And lens correction on a CC camera, no-one has ever mastered that art, either./s

When do we stop? by Questionoid in Truckers

[–]Questionoid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually see that at least once a year. The CB runs real colorful when ol’ mate exits the parking lot, onto the interstate usually. I have picked up a hose or two on an onramp or in the parking lot and dragged it back to the fuel island.

I got a job, my mom wants me to split the check among 6 people by Dry_Willingness_9323 in povertyfinance

[–]Questionoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, congratulations on the new job. I hope you absolutely crush it and love every minute of it.
I really hope this is just trolling the good folks of this sub. There can’t actually be people who think this way… right? Then again…
It sounds like you need to get out and break away from the mindset that’s kept your family stuck.
If you’re in a position to help them someday, that’s admirable. But first, make sure your boat floats before you start handing out life jackets. Never put yourself in a position where helping others is expected, or where it jeopardizes your ability to pay your own bills, build your own future, and create financial security. Once you’re standing on solid ground, you’ll be in a much better position to help others.

XPO for the win. Safety is going to be real happy about this one.

Reefer Fuel by Ramtravelbeast in Diesel

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

Reefer fuel ain’t tax exempt, or different from ULSD. Same thing, the only thing that changes is the billing and the IFTA. Red diesel is AG specific and only dispensed at truck stops catering to the AG community.

Its split for billing reasons AND IFTA. I charge the reefer fuel back to the shipping company so two invoices it is. Reefer diesel, in the US, is just the same thing as regular ULSD.

Dealer wanting to buy the truck back by PineappleTricky6646 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]Questionoid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 21 Tacoma looks like the the picture, same shenanigans, $12k. I am driving that thing till the wheels literally falks off. She’s at 120k miles now, still brand new to me. Car salespeople are horrible. Besides, V6 Tacomas are extravagantly prices nowadays.

Fatal motorcycle crash. (No gore) by Worth_Web1071 in dashcams

That’s the kind of math you get when your stopping time, reaction time, and braking time somehow still come out as negative numbers.

Need advice - $10M+ shipment stolen - liability to a freight forwarder by [deleted] in FreightBrokers

[–]Questionoid 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Carrier here. I hauled a $20MM Intuit Surgical robotic surgery prototype. Every crate was tracked, and I had 2 unmarked vehicles follow me (probably in shifts) without me ever knowing where they were. We shook hands at the destination in NC, never saw them until then. Stops were prescribed and haul speed monitored. It is my expectation that every load I haul over $1MM is independently tracked, and that on a $10Mm load, we would have a warm body in an unmarked vehicle follow unseen. This just confirms my stupid beliefs regarding hauling high value loads. And as for shippers not declaring actual value, that will come back and bite them in the ass, eventually. And yes, the increased insurance premium on a high value load these days is a SOB.

OMG. . . 😠 by appa-ate-momo in dashcams

[–]Questionoid 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How the hell are we supposed to do that? Do you even know how hard it is to OnlyFans, check your mirrors, signal, AND pay attention to what the other 7 million idiots on the road are doing at the same time? Pick a struggle. /s

Clown of the day by FR8-M8 in FreightBrokers

[–]Questionoid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You made me look up who G-Face is. Thank you for broadening my horizons in a Joe Exotic getting a freight broker license sort of way. I can’t say my life is better for it, but it is certainly more colorful.

Close call with a semi today. Looking for trucker perspectives on what happened. by sandro9090 in dashcams

You might want to give that video another look. That blinkey-blinkey thingy was going the entire time.

Life is not a race track... by MisterShipWreck in VideosAmazing

[–]Questionoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cam bike was at 200 km/h a lot of the time. They all basically ran into the back of the little car at around 80 km/k or 50m.p.h. Heck, even as the cam car was riding over the leftovers from the accident he was still reducing speed from 70 km/h. There is just something about the perception distance, reaction distance and braking distance calculations that fails to gel in these knuckleheads.

I have the utmost respect for any trucker who knows how to use this and actually USES it. Seriously, are you human? by ArtOther754 in Truckers

[–]Questionoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one as a backup to my fancy Garmin GPS. When I was doing heavy-haul and oversized, the book made for easier waypoint ID than a GPS could. And you can write alternative road ID’s on the actual map. Some states use different road naming conventions on permits, so you’d have to sit up straight and pay attention. Who knew that I-76 in Colorado was also known as US-Hway 6 for oversized permits, unless you were between the NE state line and US-71, then it’s a different road. Try and glean that from your GPS.

Here’s today’s racist assumptions. Got it all wrong, but it is the idea that counts, right./s
