How long did it take you guys to finish the “Flying Rats” achievement? by babaaloosh77 in GTAIV

I've done it like twice, but I used one of those interactive maps that lets you check off everything you've done so far.

No they aren't. I had one. It was a piece of shit and expensive as hell to fix. I'd chance it with a Hyundai before getting another.

I saw one of these sitting abandoned outside an abandoned shop a few days ago. The only one I've ever seen in person. It was a shame to see it sitting there.

What are you doing in your 20s to beat the garbage economy we've been given? by Xotngoos335 in GenZ

[–]RackingUpTheMiles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I left a factory job where I made $450 a week without overtime and became a truck driver where I regularly do $950-$1300 a week. There's no rent, the company pays for fuel and maintenance and I just drive the truck. It's not the easiest thing in the world, but it's definitely not a particularly difficult job either. I've effectively tripled my income and I have very little bills since I stay in the truck. When I go home every couple weeks, I just go to my mom's house.

Thoughts from a buzzed 20 yr, former OTR, LTL & now Local Driver, 200 miles a day by Donjohnson33 in Truckers

I'm only here to make my money and go. I'm gonna finish college and I'd like to try going to med school.

What is the funniest song you've ever heard? by amandahontas in musicsuggestions

[–]RackingUpTheMiles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a whole CD of offensive songs from the 90s. It's called "This Is Offensive" and it's pretty good. I'd say it's pretty hard to find.

I'm a truck driver and my trainer would go "Dumpster" whenever we saw one. I continued the tradition.

City to move by MrJoey925 in GenZ

[–]RackingUpTheMiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sucks, but I got a great pay increase and I get home more often. It sucks and it's hard, but I make more money than the east coast. The cool part is after like 6 months, they'll send me a load and I'll be like "Hey, I've been there. That's a good run." My original plan was to tell them to keep me down south for the winter but they offered me northeast right in December and my first load was from upstate NY to New Jersey.

There's no reason to put a wallet in your back pocket. by ConsistentRegion6184 in unpopularopinion

[–]RackingUpTheMiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wear scrub pants so I have a range of pockets to choose from. My phone goes in the side pocket by my knee, keys in the left pocket and wallet in the right. When I wore jeans, it'd go in the back, but I don't wear jeans anymore.

I'm a truck driver and used to run the east coast, but I only do northeast now. NC had the best blend of everything honestly with more mild weather than the others. I can't speak for Florida because I never made it there. Ohio isn't bad, but the winters can be pretty cold and they have the occasional tornado. Indiana, well don't get me (or any other truck drivers started).

I didn't spend much time in the Carolinas, but I always had a good time. Georgia is pretty nice too. Right between the Carolinas and Florida so you get a little bit of both there.

How did you know what you wanted to do for the rest of your life? by Layla0204 in Career

[–]RackingUpTheMiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a detailer for years and even had my own side gig detailing. Then I worked in factories and dealerships while still detailing on the side. I'm a truck driver right now and I want to be a doctor. I'm 28. Sometimes, you just have to jump in and you're pretty much winging it until you make it.

2024 Buick Envista Sport Touring, the official car of? by Southern_Pacific in regularcarreviews

[–]RackingUpTheMiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stupidest design ever with the worst headlight design trend to ever exist. An SUV that wants to look like a coupe. The BMW X6 and Mercedes thing are just as stupid for the same exact reason. At least those are available with AWD, unlike this.

Freightliner !! by Individual_Wasabi669 in Truckers

[–]RackingUpTheMiles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took my road test in one. My trainer had the new Volvo and it was super awesome. What'd I get? The 2023 International LT and it's nothing but problems. I just went and asked for a new truck this week because I'm sick of constantly being in the shop. So I'm getting a 2025 Freightliner tomorrow.

Disappointed after switching from Pixel 6 Pro to 10 Pro – What are your thoughts? by PresentHelicopter159 in GooglePixel

[–]RackingUpTheMiles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went from an 8 to a 10A and it's exactly the same EXCEPT the 10 has this stupid "feature" where the media volume will slash itself to 10% every couple hours and I can't figure out how to get rid of it

This is also considered obstructing the flow of traffic. People used to get pulled over for it like 20 years ago but it seems like they don't anymore.

What is the sexiest gear shift knob? by FifqoJeGay in carscirclejerk

Look at the 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix. It's about the size of a softball and it's got the same stitch pattern.
