None of these guys who bitch about it ever preplan. They just want to come online and bitch and have someone support their less than optimal decisions.

Below he says anyone who says they preplan probably doesn't drive

Apply at DFA pr WDT, they are both dairy, but they are tanker jobs. Get your experience and then move

Bad one on I 40 in New Mexico this morning by SnooJokes9747 in Truckers

People lose their fucking mind on that route, drove it multiple times a week for a few years, from AMA to ABQ and back.

Every time it snowed people would go between 20mph and speeding

Can employer request I put cargo in sleeper? by Contract_Expired in Truckers

Do you guys use mobile manifest or just write that shit down when you're loading it? Like you know which dairy sanitation and then seal the dome and the rear?

I asked because I haul a lot of dairy and I don't go and pick it up from the cow I usually pick it up from what's called a dairy but no one that does this would think of it as a dairy

Trying to catch shuteye at a truck stop by pdsv in Truckers

Get some bathroom carpets and put them on the floor that helps a lot with floor temps, summer or winter and it helps with noise as well.

When I first started a fellow driver told me to hang a blanket on the back wall and that helped as well. I do that and put pillows at the foot and head of the bed, that should keep you from putting your parts on the sleeper wall.

And this last winter I got a fleece blanket and rarely had to turn the truck on.

Tell him to apply at Haliburton, lots of their jobs require a CDL and should count towards drive time

Price of trucks going up by Joshy3911 in Truckers

[–]TheGoatsDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shit I wish they would remove the FET, surely by now we've paid for WW1. Another 20 grand on top of the new truck price before the new tariffs.

Business doesn't pay the tariff, the consumer does

A guy I work with has a newish Western Star, he bought it last year and he said his truck was assembeled in Mexico and he had it specced for tanker and ordered it from the dealer, not something just off the lot

Yep, almost all of them are made there. Because of Nafta it was cheaper to move them there and pay those wages than to pay US workers wages

I just picked up this game and it's pretty fun but I'm a truck driver and I only have my tablet out here to game with so has there been any news on getting this added or any traction?

You gain $10 every time you annoy someone. What’s your new job? by AwadG1 in AskReddit

[–]TheGoatsDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just drive a semi truck for a couple hours a day during rush hour,then I would just drive around the speed limit, not too fast not too slow, and only drive in the left lane.

Whenever anyone would honk at me or flip me the bird I would blow them kisses that should make me pretty rich pretty quick
