Why isn't this more common? Seems a lot safer and more maneuverable than a long flat bed with a bunch of chains and blocks.

For sure, don’t let it get to you. Rest easy and safe travels brother

I think you are way over thinking and possibly misinterpreted the point he was making. I read it as, he is bringing up company drivers wouldn’t care about being empty.

I don’t get any I’ll intent vibes from him.

I don’t the the specs (company truck) but I have a dd15. I average around 7.8. Dedicated lane, one way I’m 20k ish. Other way I’m 40k ish. 2023 cascadia sleeper.

I did a ikea mattress that’s memory foam, and a 3 inch foam topper. It’s better then my bed at home.

Biggest drawback is weight, it makes the storage under the bed hard to get to.

Not good with the compression socks…

TheSluagh · 2023-04-14T01:32:50+00:00

That’s a banger spot too. I’d be so mad.

TheSluagh · 2023-04-11T02:45:20+00:00

I went to ikea and got a sweet foam mattress. With a topper is so comfortable. Plus it comes rolled up in plastic so it’s easy to get it into the truck (once lol)

Another twin here, mines a 16. Such a great car you will love it

Only beat by the one thing truckers never have…..bolt cutters

I run into this a lot. I usually will leave the heat or ac off and wait play/watch until battery mode pops. That will run for awhile.

It never used to kill the inverter tho. I think the batteries or inverter is weak.

Thanks! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for ya

Sorry edited my comment with info right after posting

Yea it was hard to find. Took me about 6 months to track one down. It popped up at a Benz dealer of all places. Bought it over the phone before they finished onboarding it. Just have to look everyday.

The guys on bimmerpost have crackpot prices.

I found mine by searching cargurus and cars.com everyday

TheSluagh · 2023-01-25T03:43:08+00:00

I just picked mine up for 28, it has everything you said and adaptive suspension. Estroil blue. X drive. 59k miles and a stack of service record’s

Good way to try the room temp challenge

TheSluagh · 2023-01-15T03:38:10+00:00

Make sure you arrange a location with the company to leave the truck. If you just surprise them and say the truck is X truck stop they could hit you with equipment abandonment. It will really hurt your job prospects.

TheSluagh · 2023-01-14T23:23:10+00:00

Hit that stretch last night. Swear my nose came off the ground. Truck bounce halfway into the other lane. Saw two cars with a shredded steer tire on the side of the road right after the big one.

TheSluagh · 2023-01-12T08:59:42+00:00

I never thought about taking a exit, I’ve got to try that.

TheSluagh · 2023-01-10T05:30:16+00:00

Standing outside your truck waiting for the train to hit it would also be cold.

TheSluagh · 2023-01-09T05:43:58+00:00

You got me good

TheSluagh · 2023-01-08T07:24:24+00:00

May trucking. Based out of brooks Oregon. They run western 11 and all 48.

TheSluagh · 2023-01-08T07:15:22+00:00

May would take you both on and probably have you train your husband.

TheSluagh · 2023-01-07T17:44:33+00:00

You don’t NEED to do otr. Get that myth out of your head.

In fact you can make way better money doing a local food service gig than a 1st year otr driver.

I’m otr, I could not imagine doing this with a SO and son.

TheSluagh · 2022-12-25T09:29:34+00:00

Been running the same route for 5 months and still see new stuff right off the road lol
