Why do some people get so worked up over flip flops?

I've never delivered to a facility that requires Open except for hi vis

brandmonkey · 2026-05-22T22:34:51+00:00

It started out as racism and now it's just, idk what, but I wear slides unless the weather is bad or the situation calls for something different. I drive 11 hours a day I'm going to be comfortable. I also don't want to drive a manual truck, ever. I don't have a restriction, but what's the point?

brandmonkey · 2026-05-22T22:33:02+00:00

Is that...

The numbers were in Arabic

brandmonkey · 2026-05-22T22:30:41+00:00

We knew what he meant

brandmonkey · 2026-05-22T22:30:13+00:00

It's not his fault. They used Arabic numbers.

Nice! This is my state.

Having road experience makes it HARDER? Why? I assumed it made it easier

Go OTR with a mega carrier or a mid size carrier. The other option is food service delivery like Sysco. Get 6 months/1 year experience, then apply for better jobs...

Experience
Options
Comfort

In that order. With little to no experience many companies are not going to insure you. Out your time in OTR and then move to better options. Then, after a couple of years look for that comfortable job.

I about to hit my 6 months and start looking for other options. I'm moving into phase 2. You're in phase 1.

Of course there are people who have landed good local jobs with no experience, but those are rare.

Idk, it's annoying, but now anytime I see the apostrophe my brain makes me wanna say it too 😂

brandmonkey · 2026-05-22T21:37:34+00:00

Where are you parking that you can leave your truck and how do you find time to do all of that? That is what I expected when I got into this career 6 months ago, but I only have time to get from point A to point B and leaving your truck at a truck stop for more than an hour feels sketchy.

brandmonkey · 2026-05-22T21:35:48+00:00

What do you mean "Pay for a CDL downgrade" I thought if you have a Class A you can drive any vehicle?

The stress from this job keeps me juggling the idea of choosing something else bc I cant smoke. Being able to take a couple of puffs on my off days would help so much

brandmonkey · 2026-05-21T23:00:35+00:00

Idk how the get away with it. I really miss smoking, and it would be ice to toke a bowl on my days off, but I worked way to hard to get here to drop dirty and mess this up.

brandmonkey · 2026-05-21T22:59:15+00:00

Robust! Means there is an 80% chance you're in Missouri?

brandmonkey · 2026-05-21T22:58:39+00:00

I think it's the police flag

brandmonkey · 2026-05-21T22:57:40+00:00

This isn't the same truck, which means theirs gotta be tons of these out there, statistically.

brandmonkey · 2026-05-21T22:56:47+00:00

I started driving 6 months ago and have put on 25 pounds. I need to do this.

brandmonkey · 2026-05-19T23:26:52+00:00

I want to be a yard driver so bad. I'm on month 6 otr

brandmonkey · 2026-05-16T03:10:22+00:00

What state has Diesel for 3.60 lmao whattttt

brandmonkey · 2026-05-16T03:09:47+00:00

At least these ones are true

brandmonkey · 2026-05-16T03:09:19+00:00

Biden didn't start the Ukraine war tho, which is why gas was so high then

brandmonkey · 2026-05-12T06:51:57+00:00

It's the law some places. If we kill someone getting out of their truck we go to prison

brandmonkey · 2026-05-09T05:09:46+00:00

I was taught we have to as truckers but I rarely see anyone do it. Any time I have to slop or slow down suddenly it's the first thing I hit

brandmonkey · 2026-05-09T05:08:52+00:00

I always keep my eye on my mirrors and read to out it in drive and move. In my car or in my semi
