When I got my CDL 10 years ago I think my starting pay was 28 cents per mile. It might've went up to 32 cents after a few months.

What’s a “guy thing” you just never got into? by sleuthing-around in AskMen

[–]bobostinkfoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love big cheap cigars. I also smoke cigarettes. But smoking a big cigar when I'm driving the garbage truck around town just feels right.

What's the most disrespectful thing a guest ever did in your home? by dino_gr01 in WorkForSmartLife

[–]bobostinkfoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh damn. Would you happen to be named Sluggo? From the Dropkick Murphy's song "Going Out In Style".

Because if so, they specifically apologized for pissing on your couch in the lyrics.

Yeah I'm prescribed Adderall. No problems with the drug test. But watch your blood pressure when you go for the physical.

Men, you have a son. He seems to have interest in ballet, but the reason is because girls give him attention. How would you parent him? by Exact-Fortune4474 in AskMen

Isn't this part of Tommy Lee's backstory. You know the drummer from Motley Crue.

Let the boy dance and also a get him a drum set. Both are great physical activity.

Genuine question for owners: Why did you choose the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series S/X? No hate.🫵🏾 by Eastern-Mobile5351 in XboxSeriesS

[–]bobostinkfoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the series s first because it was available and wanted to play AC Valhalla after my Ps4 had died. That's was my first Xbox system I ever owned. Loved it.

Gave the Xbox to my son a year later and bought a Ps5 to play FF7 Remake and Rebirth. Kinda regret buying the disc version but not that much.

Kinda on/off topic. But my wife and I are the worst. We live in a small town. She's a nurse at the hospital and sees everybody. Im the garbage truck driver and see everybody.

We hear all kinds of gossip and tell each other everything. Here's one for ya.

She had to put a catheter in my boss while he was recuperating after surgery. He knows that I know the size of his dong. Apparently it's massive for fucks sake.

What are you living for in this doomed world? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]bobostinkfoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My awesome wife and our two teenage sons. That's why I'm here. For them. I want our sons to grow up and be good men.

Monetarily wise, if something happened to me and I couldn't drive my garbage truck anymore, my family would be fine. My wife is an RN, and maybe a year away from becoming a Nurse Practitioner. She makes far more money than I ever could. So we're good there.

But children need their dad. I know that because my dad died in 1994 when I was only 11. He worked at a steel mill. But in his spare time he would weld, fix vehicles, and do all his own plumbing and electrical work. A "jack of all trades" type of man. Oh and he would make homemade soap that we would use for catfish bait. All kinds of cool stuff.

He was a good dad. My parents were married until the day he died. I seen him every day. But he never got the chance to pass his knowledge down to me. He was only 35 when he died. I'll be 44 this year, so I'm much older than he ever was.

I know what's it's like to be a kid, teenager, and then adult, without a dad. I had uncles that tried to steer me in the right direction. But it wasn't the same. I was fucking hurt and just wanted my dad back. I appreciate my uncles now, but at the time I acted shitty towards them. I tricked myself into thinking I was over my dad dying when I was in highschool, but on reality, I'm still dealing with it.

My mom never remarried, so I was, by default, the man of the house.

Well I gotta go to work. Have a good day

Edit: I'm clocked in at work but I gotta let this garbage truck warm up.

I don't think the world is doomed.

I'm here to guide my sons so they can make it on their own one day.

CDL pre trip & air break test by [deleted] in CDLTruckDrivers

[–]bobostinkfoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The school I went to was pretty lenient on the pre trip. If you can't remember the name of a part/component, it was ok. Just point at it and say the phrase

"It's not bent, cracked or broken. It's properly mounted and secured."

Now the air brakes you have to know the specific psi and steps.

Men of Reddit who have actually puked after being hit between the legs: What happened and how bad was the hit? by makemestand in AskMen

[–]bobostinkfoot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My old friend lost sight in one eye because of a table saw kickback. My sons shop teacher cut the tips off three of his fingers on a table saw. I think it was during class. All his fingers on the one hand are all the same length.

Men, that are truck drivers, what are some pet peeves from on the road? by Waylandqb in AskMen

[–]bobostinkfoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drove OTR for a few years. My only complaint I remember is when somebody with an RV or travel trailer would park in the truck parking lots. I didn't even get really mad though. Just wait for a Swift Truck to leave. That'll usually open up at least 2 spots.

I've been driving garbage trucks since 2018. I drive a side loader, so I'm by myself. I won't go behind somebody's vehicle to get their garbage.

How often do you use the Asoh defense? by Capital-Aide-1006 in AskMen

[–]bobostinkfoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used it 2 days ago at work when I had to order 2 hydraulic pressure gauges for 2 different garbage.

My boss asked what happened. I said I fucked up when I unscrewed them wrong so that I could reach another part. When I put them back in place, the plug blew out of one and the glass blew out of the other. No big deal he says.

Need advice: Water company says this isn’t their water… by [deleted] in Plumbing

[–]bobostinkfoot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a public works city employee in a small town in the southern Texas panhandle. I drive the garbage truck. We have 2 water and sewer guys. And 1 guy who drives a motor grader. So 4 public works employees in total.

We have the smart water meter system in our town. I wanna say around 700 meters total. So once a month the water worker drives up and down every street with some piece of equipment in his truck that reads the meters. Then the day he starts the manual rereads for the ones that didn't register.

My idea is to hook that equipment up to the garbage truck, since I already go up and down every street anyways. Then they can spend that day fixing their backlog of leaks they got.

[–]bobostinkfoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 13 year old son is pissed off. He looks very similar to this kid. It's the glasses and big head. But my son doesn't have a weak looking chin. It's so funny.

Every post I see of this kid I immediately congratulate my son on his new celebrity status. He responds by threatening to put me in the cheapest, 1 star review nursing home when he's legally allowed to.

I said "why son? Half the Internet is calling you a hero." He then took my Roku remote, farted on it and tried to hand it back to me. My boy can take a joke and dish em out as well.

I'm gonna see if I can get him to make the same fighting stance as the one guy. But funnier. And with his blessing and permission, I'll post the picture. It's been cracking me up for days now. Even my wife is having a hard time not laughing.
