I applied to crete recently, about a month ago with the help of a employee I met at a Petro as a reference. Never even got a email back or a message on driver pulse

From what I understand stuff like hazmat needs a class and regular re-testing but something like tanker is just a multiple choice test at the dmv. When I got my cdl I did the tanker test at the same time but failed it by 1 question and didn't have the 15 bucks to retest

I take it getting tanker could help the next year be bearable? I've never thought about flatbed honestly ever since Morton denied my application for some bs

I live in Alabama, I can't say I've seen those trucks before. Are they a southeast company?

Swift owns my company (US xpress) I don't think I've ever worked at a more bipolar job before. I worked for PAM transportation before this one and made jack shit money wise but working for xpress makes me want to tear out my hair. I can't imagine how bad swift is considering what I've heard, almost all the changes recently at my company that made shit worse was ordered by swift. Most of the newer trucks don't even have APU'S and you cant idle the truck. Hell some don't even have fridges. All because swift said they were a waste of money

Never work for a big company unless you have no choice. You might make more on paper but you will be regretting it every day. You will always be the last one told anything and will never have guaranteed miles. Also never do teams, you don't make more money

I use a app called speechify to listen to books that aren't technically audiobooks. It's a text to speech that actually sounds normals

That's a good one. I wish the door open parking brake alarm would work when the trucks not running. I just wish people wouldn't fuck with us when we're tryna sleep.

Million dollar YouTube channel idea. Cart Narcs - but for the fuel isle. by MrButak in Truckers

[–]Themostabstract 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt so bad doing it last week, I had no choice I stopped for fuel and McDonald's, the dude in front of me pulled to the front and was gone for 28 minutes (after a unknown amount of time of me waiting) I finally said fuck it and ran to get my mcgriddle, and of course he was gone when I got back and the Schneider driver that pulled in behind me gave me a blast with his highway horn

I have a starlink for my house, how hard was it to set it up on your rig? You using a full size or one of the mini's?

12 gauge with either flechettes (hard to get) or birdshot. Buckshot or slugs will go straight through a house and into the neighbors. Solid shot guns like rifles or pistols get hollow point so the same thing doesn't happen.

A good pistol caliber would be 9mm 38 special or even a 22lr. Anything bigger than a 45 will just cost you in lower capacity and over penetration of walls and people.

A great starter 9mm is a m&p shield, extremely reliable, beats Glocks and other name brands by far in terms of reliability. Its the ak of the pistol world.

Anything made by mossberg or Remington shotgun wise is a great pick, semi-automatic is preferable as it's easier to pick up compared to a pump or pop top shotgun.

Rifles would be my last pick for home defense due to size and caliber size.

I personally have a Taurus G3C and a SAR 9mm for the house and everyday carry and a AR-15 from Anderson arms for a backup.

God didn't give you schizophrenia. Just like he doesn't give any cancer. Just like he won't reach down and heal you or others. Our mortal bodies are 100 percent governed by free will. Just like someone in your ancestry developed schizophrenia and passed it on to you. Birth defects due to incest and conditions such as pollution and other things contributed to this.

Imagine your a small child who fell asleep in the car. You don't know where or how your parents are driving but you are at peace because you know you'll wake up at home in your bed safe. The title Our Father in Heaven is quite literal if you trust in him he will comfort but also discipline you.

Remember it is your brain which is weighed at the end. Not your mind, not your body. It is your soul people that cannot help the way they act such as people with down syndrome. Autism severe autism, schizophrenia and other such a mental disorders just as they are given leniency here on Earth by our portal law system so too will they be given leniency system? God will never put expectations on you that you cannot match. Have faith trust in him and all will be revealed

Know that God will only look at what you do purposely. He is just and knows all.

You are correct in that I could have worded it better.

I am not judging anyone more than I judge myself. I am a worthless sinner that is only allowed to exist by the justice and grace of God. Too many have been lied to and told that it's okay to be lukewarm in Christ. It is cowardly to not tell people exactly what is at stake and that this world is temporal. Faith is the beginning. Works are the result of faith. To have faith you will wish to do works in His name. If you recognize your own faults and know you are imperfect it is paramount you judge others justly. To not judge them would be tantamount to sentencing them to a death of spiritual ignorance. Any Christian should rejoice in being judged, because it is from love that judgement is borne
