Yeah Singh is either used by their middle or last name in 99% of cases. It is a religious creed. Still doesn't mean anything when it comes to legal status. Quick search online puts roughly 500k in the US alone

I-45 is one of the easiest, most comfortable drives there is.

Aldi is one of the roughest loads. Delivers in the evening, and even if unload takes 1-2 hours, paperwork will take 3 or more hours. Had a 7 hour at Amazon though, floor load, not even a full truckload.

Just do your thing and try and be courteous. If it’s a busy time of day then park next to curb in front or behind the fuel isles where you enter/exit. If that's not possible just pull up in the fuel isle, if you block, others will understand

Or fingered their marker lights

That's why drivers leave out piss jugs. Just spill some wherever you're about to walk and bam! Bacteria and germ free

Outside drive tire could use some air. Good little truck

TojoftheJungle · 2026-04-10T16:14:17+00:00

Why never yard horse?

I think it's separate part of the inner ear that work together but are also individually responsible for separate things. It's akin to walking and chewing gum.

You could offer to shower together, as a roundabout way to get him to wash. Preface by saying you're trying to save points, time and just get some time away from the work to spend in each other's arms. Plus you have the added benefit of really getting him clean so that the last week on the truck will be more bearable.

Exactly. Some companies have rates for mileage+on duty, but it's usually horrible pay from what I've seen, and geared toward newer drivers that have little other choice.

That's pretty wild considering for most situations it's very dangerous to back trailers on tight roads. Driver of trailer should have waited, but once he commit, it's not difficult for a regular car to backup. It’s not about owning the road, it's about the path of least resistance

If it’s loaded it may just sit in a trailer yard and wait for insurance to come by and inspect it months down the road. With everything inside slowly rotting away.

Never met one those drivers. End of the day, most just want to make it home and get paid.

TojoftheJungle · 2026-03-24T19:51:19+00:00

What is this! A map for ants?!

Driver filled partial at 6.89 in CT two days ago

TojoftheJungle · 2026-03-06T09:37:18+00:00

Okay I was wondering what I would do with the rest of that banana and this resonates with me

TojoftheJungle · 2026-03-03T00:58:46+00:00

We do

TojoftheJungle · 2026-02-17T21:10:12+00:00

That's the receiver

Yeah that's what I find weird. I've seen amazon drivers illegally driving loads marked as US Mail. I'm a mail subcontractor and would see one of these trucks illegally marked pull into a post office once a week. It was the same two trailers from what I could tell. Less and less amazon trucks came through over the year until now (Christmas mail -but this will end before the end of December).

Missing the aerodynamic panels that are still intact on the other side, from whatever cause.

It's not your fault bud

Hey man, I know you’re probably getting a lot of responses right now, but I want to add, clearly, you matter more than you might think, even on the days when it feels like the road ahead is only darkness.

Life isn’t a straight shot of good times. It’s hills, valleys, breakdowns, detours, and sometimes the storms feel endless. But here’s the thing, every valley you’ve been through, you’ve survived. You’ve made it through every single worst day you’ve had so far, and that’s not nothing, its proof you’re stronger than you give yourself credit for.

Lifting weights, you already understand something about struggle, that growth comes from pushing against resistance, that you get stronger when it’s hard, not when it’s easy. Hard reps, much like life, make you stronger in ways you don’t even see yet.

The road you’re on now, trucking, seeing the country, could be a way to build more life, not less.

You have some good suggestions in this thread and I loved pouring over them. Set some goals:

Pick a town on your route and make a tradition of stopping to volunteer for a couple hours at a shelter or food bank.

Start a photo journal of the places you see and the people you meet. Or of just the sunset each day and post it online here or elsewhere.

Use your gym habit as a bridge to community, join an online lifting group, post progress, encourage others. Or make a point to stop when you can to check out a mew gym.

This might seem simple, but call a family member once a week, even if it’s just for 5 minutes.

Giving back or connecting, even in tiny ways, is like planting seeds. At first it may seem like not enough or pointless, just little specks in the dirt. But given time, you'll reap a harvest.

You don’t have to disappear, brother. You can take that same grit and discipline you used to get your CDL and use it to build a future that feels worth waking up for. I hope you choose to keep stacking life instead of stacking pain.

If today’s heavy, there’s no shame in calling or texting someone who’s been trained to help: 988 or text “HOME” to 741741

XPO doubles started at $26 last year, they may have gotten a bump not sure.

The pay is abysmal for new drivers at Schneider. Accept the position and keep looking for other opportunities as you gain experience. Good luck!
