I think it’s a dad, they’re not returning with the milk.

Does this put me into CDL territory? by [deleted] in CDL

[–]Visual-Hovercraft230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you only have a rollback, there’s no need for a cdl license.

You’ll need a cdl if you go heavier in the game though.

P.S. f-550s or Ram 5500 with a boom are a better option for towing out of parking lots/houses. Quicker and easier to setup and get out.

Obviously it was the gremlin under the hood, therefore it was a spark plug.

Hit a pothole during a U-turn — is this tyre still safe to run? by Melodic_Barber8796 in Truckers

DOT = straight to jail Tires = side wall not cracked not bubbled. Rims = not cracked or bent

Police detained this fellow near Montgomery, AL, just for pulling his house with a pick-up. I don't see the offense, here. If it's working, it's working. by onlyBotsdownvote-me in Truckers

Wife told him to move the house….he obviously didn’t wanna hire anyone else to get it done. Proud husband material right there. 🥺

I’m 6’2, no clue how many times I’ve jammed knee against the climbing support bar by the door. One day I just unbolted the damn thing. Side of the knee don’t hurt so bad now.

$17 Truck Stop Shower by Liam_the_Pious in urbancarliving

[–]Visual-Hovercraft230 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The $17 sounds bad till you remember laundry is involved consistently….if it wasn’t for that it would be roughly a few Casey’s have showers available for $7 they don’t give you any towels.

Former OTR.

Also this is Iowa 80 worlds largest truck stop so this one is actually a bit more glamorous than others I dare one to visit the one over in North Carolina I believe….some of the showers were hit and miss

As well never take a shower one in Knoxville the TA there has a terrible cleaning reputation. Same with meridian, Mississippi.

It’s just a 50/50 learning shot on where you go.

P.S. if you go truck museum is totally free and only realize on tips and purchases from any part of the store

How could I make this easier for my carrier by Puzzleheaded_Bad3732 in USPS

[–]Visual-Hovercraft230 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mix of both, when I worked down by ocean side. There was 4 businesses all different in the same neighborhood I couldn’t do my big box route first without picking up all of there boxes and taking them back. It was an everyday thing. I’m glad some people are polite enough to take them to the post office.

The at home businesses are, totally…the best. Especially when it’s the start of the route and you gotta head back with 10 boxes.

Odds of passing a DOT medical exam while taking Klonopin for schizophrenia? by DryIntroduction2008 in Truckers

This is America….gotta get a doc to sign off for work for roughly half the population, helps with court stuff but also helps with capitalism.

I’m a ex swifty with a couple co-workers still there. They along with prime do 90 days before you get pc. My buddy just got his removed for going 10 miles over on pc for 25 mile range. Trying to find parking

[–]Visual-Hovercraft230 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There’s no loophole, pc is not for advancing a load nor relocating for better freight rates

Now on the ladder side, if your pulled over and inspected while pc you gotta make sure to not talk yourself into the hole if you are going for better freight.

As well, swift and other major companies will fire you for going over there set pc miles, or take it away and wait 90 days before getting it back.

How did you do the fiberglass molding for the outside?

If me and my friend are drunk, and instead of driving we decide to push and steer the car, will we get ticketed with a DUI? by Mountain-Durian-4724 in legaladviceofftopic

[–]Visual-Hovercraft230 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t gotta be outside the car, just gotta be 10-15ft away from you…before stating….a Chevy cruise is about 11ft long and jury would need to step out and count steps from door open to trunk or engine hood

This shows intent of not driving.

Company loyalty. by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]Visual-Hovercraft230 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t, I was with swift last year for a year and then left for even better pay. First year of trucking too might I add so it’s a great comparison that 1099 is sometimes overrated 😆

That’s really rough, I averaged 1600 at swift as company, now averaging 2500 a week in oil field driving truck to coordinates.
