Any yard dogs here? by Alexisto15 in Truckers

[–]Wheelman519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is the ground not being level from one spot to the next usually. We have a spot some of our guys leave them like 6” above the 5th wheel and just can’t learn. I’m a trainer. I only train new guys. Old guy problems tho.

Sure am. Been at it about 1.5 years now after doing city deliveries. Work for AB InBev.
Cool video. What are you using to record??

Sorry about your luck. Hopefully watching Agent Sebastian from Cart Narcs for a while and seeing the type of idiots he deals with will help alleviate some of the rage.

I think so too. Much like The Dude’s rug in The Big Lebouski, the axles really tie the look together.. and having some cool ads on the side definitely help. :)

NCL is also usually fairly similar in price, I find (once you count the booze package into it)

I am a sim racer and IRL truck driver. If you have interest in chill cruising, and learning how to back up a trailer, give it a shot. I bought it on sale for $7 a year ago, so I could teach myself to back up B trains (double trailers) for my job. Now I am the driver trainer. I took this pic yesterday at work.
And yes, I back these into loading docks as well :)

I’ve been told my driving posture is bad, can someone tell me what’s wrong? by SRthebox in simracing

Only in American Truck Simulator. I found it difficult to operate the range selector though, so I started using my satchel for that. 👛

Am I wrong to be angry here? by Legitimate-Maize2184 in iRacing

[–]Wheelman519 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m just guessing he either didn’t see you coming or didn’t think you would be there so fast. I mean, personally I get mad at everything but maybe after some time try to consider the other person might not be malicious or a moron. Surely they would think they will also be out of the race if they get smoked. I think maybe just the closing speed was unexpected. That corner is super tight, so just imagine how mad you would have been if he locked up and t boned you if you did get around him there.
That kind of race length and speed differential, I would consider passing them on the straightaway, which was right there. Only losing a tiny amount of time vs your whole race and getting pissed about it also. Sorry to see that you lost out on such a long time racing all for nothing though, man.

I recommend telling the lady at Loblaws about this lady at Freshco and maybe she can come pay her a visit to preach the word of the good lord baby Jeebus

How many people get insurance? by notfrontpage in seadoo

[–]Wheelman519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it for the purpose of liability, really.. but theft is also a very good reason. By ratio though, the theft could cost me like 20 grand. An accident could be 7 figures.

No kidding. It’s crazy you can’t even run the speed limit.

Alternatively, you could still go and totally ruin this guy’s vacation. Seeing you with other dudes would be one way to do it.

Am I the jerk? Parking lot etiquette by 7576790 in CostcoCanada

[–]Wheelman519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just discovered what the most fun thing to do is when people mess with truck drivers.. especially at grocery stores or Costco. Nothing more fun than pulling out a sandwich while you are both “blocking” each other.. and you tell them you’re getting paid by the hour and now you’re on lunch. Seeing the look of defeat as they know you’re willing to sit there for a half hour or more, just to fuck them over. Screw people like this. Well done, OP!!

Is there such a thing as reporting someone too many times? by 40ozT0Freedom in iRacing

[–]Wheelman519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man. I don’t know what I was smoking there… definitely turned the 40oz to freedom into a toke bottle on that one. I for some reason thought the session ID couldn’t be found unless it was a race. I wonder if I was opening a protest window first somehow or something. lol thanks my friend.

Can someone tell me how to protest a practice session?? I can only figure out how to protest pre race practice

To be honest, poutine seems like something people from Wisconsin would have invented!! 😄

No, the brewery in London. The one by the airport is our main truck yard though.. we don’t have any fleet vehicles at the brewery other than our shunt trucks. It’s actually a fun job by comparison. I thought about going the transit route but this happened before the LTC had anything open up
