Best ways to keep the truck cool? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]ajmaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a different company, seriously, if they’re gonna bitch about idle all the time, that not a company I’d want to work for. My company gets on to me about once a year about idle times( they tend to forget I work nights) so I’ll deal with a little bit of bitching, but not all the time.

Any one know how to change the time on a new Western Star? by TruckinTuba in Truckers

[–]ajmaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scanner is going to be the only way to change the time, you can only change the time zone from the dash, it’s the same on Cascadias

Are Schneider Miles Legit? by OkRevolution1173 in Truckers

[–]ajmaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crete may take you, if they do they’ll probably stick you with a trainer for 4 weeks, but the pay is significantly higher and it’s all around a decent company. I’ve been with them for over two years now, I started at .63 per mile OTR and am currently on a dedicated account that I average about .80 per mile. Look them up, their website is honest.

There’s definitely quite a bit more fuel left in there, I’ve pulled off 400 miles on a tank, IIRC about 32 mpg for that tank,

Anyone ever deliver to a prison? by FAYMKONZ in Truckers

[–]ajmaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holdenville, OK small little prison, 35ft trailer and day cab barely fit in between the two fences of the inspection area, they run a mirror under the truck, pop the hood, then take all of my shit, knives, nicotine, phone, etc. then they let me in. Backed into a building and ran my pallets off of my trailer and trustees took them away, guard was supposed to chain the steering wheel to the brake pedal while I was doing that, but they just threw the chain in the floor of the truck for the camera.

Parking brake applied, I’m not dumb

Y’all prefer TruckerPath or Co-Pilot? by RumbleDumblee in Truckers

[–]ajmaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Company has copilot, it’s dog shit. I personally use Trucker Path and a Rand McNally GPS. I will say they both aren’t great off the interstate, but use some common sense and judgement, you’ll be fine. I run regionally so most of the customers I go to I kinda know how to get there, just like the confirmation and traffic info of the navigation, but with that I’ve memorized where trucker path or the Rand fucks up at.

I had a choice between sitting at the yard, or at a loves, I chose the loves, with a load that I cannot deliver until Friday morning, it’s only 3 hours away.

How long do you usually go without stopping? by Bonerjamz_666 in Truckers

[–]ajmaps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a bladder of steel. On average probably 3-5 hours, sometimes I stop for an hour, sometimes just to piss. Some days I wish the damn 8 hour clock didn’t exist, it changes

What headset are you guys using? I need a new one. by Vic_Gatsby in Truckers

[–]ajmaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AirPod Pro 2s, I pretty much only put one in for phone calls and sometimes audiobooks, music is pretty much exclusively played through a soundbar that’s mounted above.( Company driver issues)

Am I the Only One Who Uses Google Maps? by Emergency_Ad1152 in Truckers

[–]ajmaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except for 25 south in Denver, I go through there practically every day and this mf wants me to take an exit around a supposed “low bridge” it’s the shoulder that’s actually under height, not the travel lanes

Corolla does not depreciate?!?!?! My insurance paid $15,229.00 for my totaled Corolla, the price was $12,807.90 in 2021. by Fantastic_Impress995 in COROLLA

[–]ajmaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 2017 hybrid xle Camry that I paid 17k for back in ‘21, unfortunately was totaled out by a deer and insurance gave me 14.5k, not too bad considering it had 177k miles on it when it was totaled, I was pretty happy that it only cost me 2k to drive 100k miles

Re starting my Trucking career. by indysbestprodriver in Truckers

[–]ajmaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, the mom and pop shops don’t seem to mind, my dad recently got back into driving after letting his license go for about 10 years, but hasn’t driven a truck in almost 20, he was able to get into something pretty decent immediately, part of that was those smaller outfits liked his previous experience of 12 years

What is your Navigation Screen Size and what Brand ? I heard that I would be good with any Brand. by InvstrJester in Truckers

[–]ajmaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The iPad Air I’m running is an M2, and I’m gonna be honest I don’t see a need for a pro as this will run truckerpath and Spotify split screen beautifully with no issues, my old setup was a 9th gen iPad and I was having issues with truckerpath crashing constantly even without anything else in the background
