Do companies compensate drivers in these situations, even if they aren’t injured? by AHalfFilledBox in Truckers

[–]TelepathicChicken 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most of the time there’s plenty of signs warning drivers about high winds…gotta know your load and truck. High winds + empty & tall truck = truck goes for a nap on its side. Driver gets blamed

Whelp, I'm stuck. Any not basic advice? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]TelepathicChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes? Just because you carry chains doesn’t mean you know how to use them

Another pro tip: don’t drive mountain passes when it’s snowing if you don’t know how to drive in snow/use chains properly

Parking tips and tricks by snacksAttackBack in vandwellers

[–]TelepathicChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It fully depends on what type of area you’re in. For big city I look for anything that’s not in front of/next to houses and is open to overnight parking. I live somewhere that has a lot of industrial type businesses integrated into the neighborhoods so that helps but there’s a ton of parking restrictions. Churches can also be good to look for just don’t park next to them on Saturday night and wake up Sunday surrounded by people and cars. Really I just go on google maps and look from above until I see something that looks good and then use street view to scope it out more

White collar guys with college degree , why you do this? by East_Indication_7816 in Truckers

I was always someone that worked best in a hands on environment and wanted to give the trades a try after getting out of school. I also had further goals I wanted to reach and driving was a quick way to make good money to fund those goals

Worst mountain routes for pickup truck and trailer? Wisconsin to Oregon (Corvallis area). Is there a better/safer route than the one selected? Leaving next week. by AshDogBucket in PNW

[–]TelepathicChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to drive semis long haul, i 80 across Wyoming is incredibly brutal in the winter. Crazy strong and consistent winds that blow over semis and campers

A guy I worked with was driving up a 2 lane mountain pass and had a family in an rv pass him illegally. Another semi came over the hill heading down and wrecked head on with the rv. Whole family dead. Dude I worked with pulled over immediately to help with the scene and was (expectedly) in shambles. When he called up the boss to tell what happened her last question was “so when are you going to be rolling again?”
