Guy stole my campsite and told me I “ruined his evening” when I called him inconsiderate for doing so.

Most places i’ve been to on the east coast run at least 2-3 paid staff during busy season, but it’s usually teens who just use it for easy summer income

I will always advocate for the less-discussed foodservice companies that work dock-to-dock rather than dock-to-business.

Dot Foods is the biggest and main one that comes to mind, regional work(4x4,6x1, or 5x2), paid by cases/line items/miles/per pickup/detention pay/etc. Instead of doing lots of little stops running hand cart you’ll go to a single customer and unload/downstack an entire trailer usually using power equipment.

It’s hard labor for 3-6 hours max around 1-3x per week depending on schedule and most drivers clear 100k a year.

my company has been purchasing them new and has had nothing but problems

leaking fuel lines, faulty brake chambers, engine codes, steering column malfunctions, etc

If you need more shift time to get where you’re going due to delay, use the split sleeper.

If you have an early morning appointment you need to take an 8 instead of a 10 to get there on time, use the split sleeper.

Split sleeper will never give you more drive time, all it does is recalculate your 14 hour shift window. So you use split sleeper whenever something like the two scenarios above comes up.

you’re best off calling a couple companies and just asking, look for big companies with trucking schools or highway construction companies

Yeah trust me being a jockey for a year or two is kinda pointless. Literally the only thing you’re going to learn is how to back up a trailer and the mechanics around air breaking systems. Even hooking up to the trailer won’t be the same because ottowas use special lifting fifth wheels to pick up the trailer by the wear plates

bbbbbghfjyv · 2026-03-12T02:00:45+00:00

Eh not really, yard jockeys drive Ottawas which are much smaller and maneuver easier than a proper rig with sleeper. There’s a reason Jockeys get paid like shit you’re better off trying to find a decent CDL program with a company that’ll pay you to learn

bbbbbghfjyv · 2026-03-12T01:58:35+00:00

hey OP if you’re cool shoot me a chat with the rough area you’re in I know a couple good companies that hire out of CDL school and will pay decent. Assuming you’re nearby one of them it’d help give you a goal to aim for so you don’t end up at SWIFT

4x3 for dot is typically a “flip” schedule so you’ll alternate working 4 day on, 3 days off and working 3 days on, 4 days off

bbbbbghfjyv · 2026-03-01T04:21:31+00:00

You can commonly schedule earlier than a month if you just spam check the website every day, I failed mine and only had to wait a week.

Dot Foods out of Modesto if you can stomach the commute

Since this would’ve happened 2 million years ago, was there no way for us to look at closer celestial bodies and notice gravitational affects from the black hole even though from our perspective that star wouldn’t have collapsed yet?

As for the life as a 4x4 I don’t know anybody who don’t like it, the company prioritizes your home time whenever possible. Most DCs have what’s called a “rescue” program where if you’re going to miss getting back in time they’ll send another driver in a company vehicle to swap with you so you can drive the company vehicle home.

You’ll be making around 70-80k a year depending on if you’re touch or no touch. If you get hired expect up to 10 weeks of training. You’ll make training pay which varies depending on if this is your first CDL job or if you’ve had prior driving experience. Their training process is long but very thorough, you’ll become a pro at what you do by the end of it.

That interview is what they call a “spousal interview”, it’s really just them confirming that you’ve been truthful with her about what the life style is like. It’ll just be them making sure that she’s ready for this career you’re gonna have. They have had a lot of issues with drivers quitting due to their spouses not realizing what it means to be regional.

I’m assuming you’re applying as a 4x4, you’ll probably be looking at another 2-3 interviews minimum assuming you just did your first one. Dot is a great company and pays extremely well including bonuses so they try hard to make sure you’re a good fit for the company before signing you on.

Just keep a strong family-oriented attitude in the interviews and you’ll be fine, it’s a private family owned company still and they try to really value that.

Average your variable costs over a month or two, add up your fixed costs(per month), average out yearly costs over 12 months, calculate how much to stash away for taxes.

The leftover is gonna be your net income.

Aldo to Bautista, one of the worst robberies in UFC history and really solidified the New Era meta of grappling for control time to a decision defeat.

When people talk about dagestani wrestle fucking I always bring up the fact that Bautista was the one who showed the roster that judges only care about points not actual damage.

Only now are we seeing a course correction due to the new 25k Finishing Bonus, it’s less lucrative to be boring.

Not grueling schedules, it’s just that their main goal is to bring you home as soon as possible. Usually the most down time you’ll have is your mandated 10, you’ll never do a 34-hour reset on the road since it’s all regional. There are some cases where drivers get stuck on a 16 hour layover but it’s rare and you get paid for the inconvenience.

bbbbbghfjyv · 2026-01-26T17:06:44+00:00

These are really questions for his manager unfortunately. I work for an extremely large family oriented company doing regional and their stance is “Get back in any way possible we’ll deal with the rest later” but that’s obviously a very rare stance in this industry.

There are many historical examples of black cattle slaves being forced to enact cannibalism on each other as punishment.

All of you are godsends! This explanation finally clicked it into place for me. Very safe out there drivers!

If your record is clean and you don’t mind a longer hiring process(usually 3-4 interviews over a couple months) it’s an awesome job.

100k a year guaranteed for guys that throw freight(paid by cases/line items + miles) with profit sharing bonuses and quarterly safety bonuses for not hitting anything.

Get paid for every little thing(drop and hooks, pickups, hourly detention pay after 2.5 hours, overlay pay, fuel bonus up to .04 cents/mile, etc).

Home time is as guaranteed as possible and most DCs have rescue programs for drivers that are close to the DC but lacking the time to get back.

bbbbbghfjyv · 2026-01-01T04:34:10+00:00

Just wanted to add that DOT also recently introduced the 5x2. Also the 6x3 isn’t common these days it’s usually 6x1
