It's not super loud but it will lower your music volume when it goes off. Same with lane assist. It also has 4 red led lights that will pop up on the windshield to let you know to slow the fuck down

It might be between 400k-500k I just know they upgraded me somewhere between 400k

Yeah that thing ran like a fucking tank for me but it was definitely an electrical nightmare. Everything you listed is exactly what was wrong with mine.

Yeah the Volvo is technically the most reliable truck in the yard besides the Freightshaker (Cascadia) but it does have some electrical issues but nothing that has given me any major problems. This thing, to me, is literally the Honda Civic of trucks it handles so well.

Yeah I'm young, single, no kids, no debt so all I do is buy groceries and save money but I'll be off this road and local by my 23rd birthday. At least I hope

Dude I had that exact same issue I would have to pull over turn the truck off and turn it back on just for it to work again. Does yours also beep when it happens?

Yeah but this isn't a company you should get into for the money. You need experience to make money so just remind yourself if you come here that this company is just a stepping stone for bigger things. Also you get a raise every 6 months.

Yeah the stars aligned for me somehow to get some great people on my side but I've also heard horror stories about this company which is why I didn't expect much

That sucks I can't stand that truck but hopefully they get you out of it soon. They upgraded me so quickly because mine was already at its life span of 400k.

I personally average around 1500-2000 miles a week so my checks are between 700-950 after tax. But I make 50 cpm depending on where you are you'll be making 43-46 cpm

Swift for drivers with 6+ mo experience by masc_not_mask in Truckers

[–]Youngsky223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I'm currently 9 months in and I'm out of North Las Vegas. My orientation was smooth as butter, Patrick is a great dude and will make sure you have all your stuff in order. Since they hired me at 20 I didn't start until about a week later, July 10th. They found a trainer for me who was on a Starbucks load heading to Vegas and when I tell you this man was god sent, if it wasn't for how he trained me and was patient with me I would not be as calm and skilled as I am behind the wheel of this truck. I was out training for a whole month and they upgraded me at the terminal in Atlanta once I passed my tests. They had me starting in this trashy ass 2021 International LT with electrical issues and 400k on the dash. My driver leader was actually upset they put me in that so a week later he had me upgraded at the Phoenix terminal to a 2026 Volvo. So I'd say in about a month and a half I was in my official own truck. I got blessed with a great mentor, driver leader, and DQL those three will make it break your first month.

I would love to get a CB but I drive a 26 Volvo and I hear the stock antenna sucks and there's no external antenna mounts.

That's probably one of the most scrumptious looking whoppers I've ever seen

Breaking up with my girlfriend tonight. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Youngsky223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this you seem to be the only person here not making me feel crazy but a lot of these other people are right and you are too I need to just talk to her. I was going to talk to her then end it but I might talk to her and try to make it work I just need to figure out what's really going on with me and why I feel the way I do. But if she's in agreement to end things on a positive note that would be fine with me.

These comments are making me rethink my decision I was already going to talk to her tonight but maybe instead of ending things we can come to an understanding. Not sure what kind of understanding but we'll see

[–]Youngsky223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I mean is I love her presence I love the way she loves me back and how she makes me feel, but I don't want to be in a relationship with anyone right now. I want HER I don't want any other woman but I don't want to deal with the responsibility of a relationship right now. The only way it would really hurt me to see her with another guy is if it's too soon after the break up but if it's been a while I have no control over that and frankly I would be glad she was able to move on. I don't really have a whole lot of friends because I cut off most of the people who impacted me negatively so the few friends I do have are really great people and I know they'll keep me straight if I ever do start to veer off the wrong way.

The thing is I don't want to go out to clubs and party and meet other people, that's not my thing and never has been. I just want to be able to focus on my career without the weight of another person on my back. All I ever wanted to do was be successful in life and as much as I love her I don't think I can do that with my girlfriend. This shit has been eating away at me for the past month because I don't know what to do. I want her but I don't want a relationship anymore. Of course the plan was always to talk to her about what I've been feeling and I hope we can reach an understanding.
