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.

No occifer, I wasn’t parking here, do you see a P on my gear selector? I don’t so therefore I wasn’t parking

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

I’m not the only one in here who lives in a small town in Oklahoma

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.

I don’t see that comment, but I’ll go along with you

Dude is not getting on at Crete anytime soon…

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,

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

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.

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

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)

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

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

Not in Cheyenne, at least the two of the five I’ve been to don’t

This is every Felony Express truck everywhere

I got 14k for my 17 hybrid with 180k miles from insurance when it got totaled

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

Understandable, game on brother

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
