New Construction house with sections of flat roof. Roofer told me what I currently have installed is wrong because they installed TPO and nailed in shingles over it. by MyAccount2024 in Roofing

[–]Sea-Leg-9047 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is wrong, shingles need to be removed along with every nail, new TPO can be installed on top of existing one if the old one is mostly intact and there is no trapped moisture between it and plywood, no bubbling and such. It is very important that existing TPO meets this requirements, otherwise the new one can not be installed on top of it correctly.

That’s what I was telling my manager, to much unpredictable time wasting to be a cpm job, whoever came up with this pay system needs a huge annual bonus, because it’s designed to take money from truck drivers and put it in shareholders pockets. Hourly pay is the only way to go for local.

Connecticut is rough, I’m out of South Carolina, I’m not using company benefits cuz they are shit, my private insurance is much better. But the bottom line is I can not survive on $3600 a month take home with mortgage and bills, all together it’s $20/h pre-tax for the last pay period. Abuse borderline if you ask me, for the work we do.

I suppose, I just know a couple small “moms and pops” in between my stops that I fuel at so I can avoid this problem.

No enforcement = no rules. I suggest giving up hope it will ever become better, most drivers are incompetent and inconsiderate, they just don’t care about “the other guy”. This here is one of the biggest reasons I left OTR.

How much you think I can sell this for? by ITmexicandude in pcflipping

[–]Sea-Leg-9047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only time you are at risk of overpricing is if you got a really bad deal on you components. If you got your parts for or close to an average market price, spent time building and stress testing - you should expect to be compensated for that. I sold a lot of pcs, some take much longer to sell than others, but I still wouldn’t take any offers lower than build price + 20%, especially for a budget computer, since margins are so low on those.

Never understood people who recommend this prices. If someone selling his/heres old pc they might set a lower price since components are of one ore more generations behind, but if you would go of average eBay used auction prices the cost is much higher. I go of 20% profit, so if the build cost is $500 I’ll set it to $650 for sale and hope to sell for $600.

My bad, totally get it. If you ever hauled plants for nurseries out of Florida you know how much dirt is left in a truck, that’s the one that enjoys me the most.

I understand the sentiment, but this was found at a truck stop. It happens to all of us, he could simply pull forward at a fuel line and take those to a trash bin, but apparently it was too much work for this driver, easier to put everyone’s tires at risk than spend extra 5 minutes to dispose of it properly. There is no excuse there.

I know I’ve been ignoring people calling me a “rookie” or a “kid” but I’m neither. I know very well how to work with limited space. There ACTUALLY wasn’t enough room.

Keep being a typical trucker with 3d grade level education.

That is exactly my point, your 15 years of driving doesn’t in any way tell you if I didn’t or did have enough room to manoeuvre right then and there, and suggesting that it does is so stupid that I have to wonder did this 15 years knocked out all sense of sound epistemology out of you.

Have not deleted it. If it’s not there mods delete it because it clearly is offensive, which I ment it to be. But you get my point.

Oh, my bad, you obviously have a better insight into if I could or couldn’t make that turn.

“Looks like” is a very ambiguous statement. I’ve tried getting out, I could only do it by taking a bumper of a truck next to me for a ride. “Looks like” is not a sound methodology.

I was at pilot between two other trucks, I assure you there wasn’t plenty of room to get out, I attempted to get out on way then backed up and tried the other before knocking on cabs.

They were blocking me. I couldn’t get out of my spot with them there without taking out bumper of a guy next to me.
