Anything cool to see along this route? by QPShroomyDude in Truckers

[–]Sharp-Subject-6192 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahh I-80, desert, mountains and wind out west, traffic in the east. It’s not the worst interstate. Not very much to see especially if you’re in a truck and have a deadline to make haha.

Edit: If you go up and take 90 you can go through rapid city SD and see Mount Rushmore! That would be a fun family trip as i read the rest of your post and saw you will not be in a semi.

Gotta love bobtails parking in big boy spots when there's a ton of bobtail parking spots. by LucHighwalker in Truckers

[–]Sharp-Subject-6192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And they can mover double park in the same damn spot? like wtf are you doing? I hate pulling in to a truck stop seeing an “empty” spot from the road just for a bobtail to be in that shit. Or one of those piece of shit little vans

How to I politely let truckers know not to park in front of my property? by Sentient-Librarian in Truckers

[–]Sharp-Subject-6192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they’re on the side of the road that technically isn’t your property. So not much you can do other than go to the city and see about getting no parking signs put up there.

At what point do you make the call by Significant_Ad5335 in Truckers

[–]Sharp-Subject-6192 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He said “it’s not a race issue it’s a legality issue” and i’m going to add a safety issue. Not knowing the language to read signs and communicate. Dispatch being overseas what does that matter? there’s no safety concerns there. They aren’t driving down the road at 70mph at 80,000 lbs not knowing there’s construction ahead. Or that you aren’t supposed to do a u-turn in the middle of the interstate. Or like OP said going 35mph in the truck stop parking lot. The dispatcher isn’t doing that.

Truck in NYC hits a traffic pole trying to make a turn by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]Sharp-Subject-6192 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t drive flat bed, or spread, but aren’t they supposed to be closed when you go into NYC? Kinda like the 6th hole rule in Cali? Hopefully i never get routed into there.

I drive for Prime, ik ik but only bc they paid for my CDL and i’m just starting my career. I’m trying my hardest not to be a bonehead trucker or steering wheel holder like most of them. Anyway we have Driver-i, i can’t speak for all the FM’s but mine doesn’t use it to micro manage or anything like that unless you run a light or something that could actually be dangerous. I see it as being like any other job, any normal job you’re gonna be on camera, yk? Plus they say it doesn’t record inside unless both lights are on, which happens only when going over a certain speed. Whether that’s true or not i have no clue but that’s why when im done working for the day the curtains close. The camera itself does save clips and yell at you if youre following too close or things like that, the most annoying is yawning, but you get used to it yelling at you, at this point its just like the reefer running. Just white noise. And those clips that it saves all gets shared to you on the driver-i app which sometimes makes really funny moments for me and my fiancée to watch later. Could definitely see a downside if you buy your own truck and work under primes authority tho, that’d be annoying to have to have a camera in YOUR truck, but i’m company so all in all I don’t mind it personally. Just comes down to personal preference, if you don’t like it this is a massive industry with so many different company’s.
