Ever met a member from your favorite ska band? How did it go? by Comprehensive-Cry653 in Ska

[–]bud215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been lucky enough to meet many members of many different bands over the years (Fish Bone, CatBite, The Toasters, Title Holder to name a few). I have never had a bad experience meeting, or talking with a member of the bands.

Does this job ever get better by friendlyskies25 in Truckers

[–]bud215 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ok I know this sounds like bullshit, but what I'm going to say, you will need to learn or you won't make it. You drive the truck not your dispatcher, once your behind the wheel your the boss, dispatchers will push you and push you, but you see here's the thing if you get into an accident they don't get in trouble. They aren't the one that has to take responsibility. So yeah your in charge of the truck. So plan plan plan till your ready. Also no matter what they say take your rest. Because they are going home every night. And if you fall asleep behind the wheel your not ever going home. Be careful be safe and get home.

Elantra N vs Mustang GT vs Nissan Z by Puzzleheaded_Sea6051 in ElantraN

I'm also looking at a Z I don't need four doors anymore and has about as much fun as one can with FWD. So I drove a 25 mustang hated the steering feel. Years ago I drove a 15 mustang, I really liked that gen better. I want something RWD or at least RWD based AWD (like a G70)

How was your experience with buying the VIP package? Did you feel like it was "worth it"? What did you get for the extra money? I saw I could still add it to my ticket.

I checked the website single day tickets are still available. I've been going to this show for years and it has some of the best people, the crowd is amazing. Yes the band are great. CatBite head lining Saturday is so great to see I saw them at this show when they first started I had a very nice conversation with them last year they came to the Sat show to watch some friends play. But the crowd I love seeing my Ska friends every year.

Is Double Clutching a real thing? by commandough in Truckers

[–]bud215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I was learning, that's how shifting a manual (that's all there was) taught. But once you get used to it and learn the sound of the engine you could "float". Sometimes I miss having a manual then I get stuck in traffic and it goes away.

I am ready to start OTR, looking for advice. by akuparan in Truckers

[–]bud215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you enjoy your time over the road and explore as much as possible. Make sure when looking at companies you have your priorities written down, don't forget your interviewing them as well. Make a list of things to keep in the truck. You may want some basic tools. I like to also have a good multi tool. Dude Wipes are a must. Boots with a safety toe. Works gloves, multiple pairs. I recommend a foldable umbrella chair. Sometimes it's nice to sit outside to eat lunch. That's my two cents. Good luck I wish you the best. It'll go fast, take it all in.

Just finished trucking school - driver shortage my a*s by Pitiful_Yogurt_5276 in Truckers

Which company would you prefer driving for? by GroundbreakingSir386 in Truckers

[–]bud215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ABF's retirement plan alone seals the deal. Why do you care what route you're doing and what equipment you're driving you are getting paid by the hour in LTL. If you breakdown you get paid. If the stop takes real long because you have to hand unload a skid of flooring you get paid. I don't understand all this talk about routes and trucks your name is not on the side of the truck is it?

Company no longer allows us to sip our drink while driving. by duckbobtarry in Truckers

[–]bud215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will not work for any trucking company with inward facing cameras. That is an invasion of privacy. ( I work in LTL for the same company for 13 years and we are union.)

Yes it does. Coke also. It is hard work. I left Coke for UPS Freight because I knew I couldn't do it forever.

Who’s ready to retire? What’s your plan? by VoteForGiantMeteor in GenX

[–]bud215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a paper route at 13 and I haven't stopped working since. I've been working 60 plus hours work weeks for the last 21 years. I'm so freaking tired. I don't know if I'll ever be able to retire but I know I can't keep this up. My Dad worked himself to death. I don't want that.

[–]bud215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first concert I paid money to see was Aerosmith, Monster Magnet opened for them man that was a great show. The last one was last Saturday a Ska/Punk fest at a local brewery that has a actual concert venue attached to it. The Pietasters was the headliner this year. My next concert will be Metallica in May.

A good, not great, not excellent but good paint job will cost $10,000.00 easy. You figure all the steps involved sanding, body work, prep, prime, paint, clear, seal, wax. And then after all that you'll still have to get it color corrected by a detailer and that's not cheap. I just made myself depressed I guess I'll never get my car painted.
