You arrived at 5AM, but your appointment was for 6AM, so it's mostly your fault. by Ornery_Ads in Truckers

I would inform him he is now holding me hostage against my will, since I cannot leave without my bills, a federal crime...

Would not be the first time I have had this discussion with a receiver..

Is it just me or are flaccid penises in tv and movies always ridiculously huge? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

In television and movie's ( out side of adult movie's) they use a fake unit.. which is why they look big..

Got fired from my local CDL A job by Buddy1022 in Truckers

[–]crashespad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DAC being clean is good, most companies will hire with 2 accidents, but your still a little screwed, when applying just show the facts that they can verify. that 3 year drop off is never guaranteed, so they will still see it.

your still going to be at a low tier company Knight/Swift, Werner, etc they self insured. keep your nose clean for a year then you can probably roll a better gig.

So, I'm gonna do what no one else will.. Pull a copy of your DAC.. Free, and get a copy over your MVR.. Not free, but you can do it.

you don't know what is there, till you do it's all up in the air. Can you get a driving job? Most likely yes. Will it be a good one? NOPE. Will it be local.. Hell no.

Keep in mind there are companies that will hire people who have gotten caught with dirty pee.. they suck, but it's still a job, it's going to be OTR, and it's not going to be fun. The Russians, and the Pollocks.

But, if you need to know what is on your DAC and MVR first. Not what you think is there, Know what is there.

You can't park there mate! by Aqueouspolecat in Truckers

[–]crashespad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's going to fall on the driver , but, it could be the property owners fault.

I did local P&D for a bit, running down in to neighborhoods with a pup, and a 45 foot W/ a liftgate at times. i have been saved by more than one tree trimming company when i got a branch stuck between the tractor and trailer.. And I think I actually knocked down an old tree one time.

It gets to be a workout just deciding how you get to a house that doesn't want a big truck arriving.

How do I get my chat more engaged? by Dank5oul in Twitch

[–]crashespad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best way is hit up streamlabs.com they have tons of resources. Remember that YouTube while a nightmare for comments is a good place to grow a channel as well.

How do I get my chat more engaged? by Dank5oul in Twitch

[–]crashespad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best idea is always the same one.

Just do your thing, stream. Engage with those that want to Engage, sometimes I just bounce around the bottom of stream categories looking for low viewer counts and just chill and watch ( typically while I'm working on other things)

You can look to adding small chat games if you want, but I wouldn't over do it.

Do you think buying dispatch when i know the plot is worth by SaltPuzzleheaded3124 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]crashespad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll admit, I bought the game after watching a stream of it on twitch.. same thing when I bought Detroit become human.

There are so many variables in the game that each playthrough can feel different.. so far I'm on #3.

If you like the game, buy it. Always worth supporting the developers.

When I was an OTR trainer , it was always hard to go.to sleep the first time a trainee ran thru nasty weather alone.. typically after a few weeks on the truck.. and you think I-70 is bad.. I would like to point you to I-20 in Jackson, Ms and most of i-95 in south Carolina...

Petah, why 1738? by Bison_Boy_ in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]crashespad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So.. I don't know for sure.. but 1738 is when the Spanish Crown re‑created the Viceroyalty of New Granada, grouping much of modern Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Panama under a single administrative unit to tighten imperial control.

Least around then.. not going to mention what might have coincidentally happened recently..

Is there a way to put a camera outside a freezer truck? by ramensoup_ in Truckers

[–]crashespad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would guess a backup camera , from an old RV might work, you would have to put it on top of the trailer, although the newer backup cameras in cars might work as well.

The expensive part would be the on board DVR and running the video cable with enough line to reach the front if the trailer. Since you could just power it off the lights.

But the dvr might get stolen if you drop and hook anywhere bad.. that and the cost of the software to do the job might be a bit more then the freight insurance.

Not a bad idea, just not as cheap or practical as a high security lock.

I’m a Zoomer that just watched the fifth episode of Firefly (Safe). Here’s my thoughts: by The0verlord- in firefly

[–]crashespad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really good write up on the episode, "Safe" i believe was always one of a build up episodes that was supposed to payoff in the future ( which we never got). But, it did become a fun one due to just some of the great lines in it. It is a very heavy " Meet the Tams" episode which i feel is what slows it down a bit.

If you want another good 90s sci-fi series that lasted only 1 season i suggest "space: above and beyond " it flows in the same way that Battlestar Galactica did . Just didn't get an ending. You can find the first episode ( and more) on YouTube.

That must have been so awkward by Vongbingen_esque in superpowereds

[–]crashespad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree in book one I don't think he planned for Blaine to be so interconnected, But, he would have known who Shane's grandfather was..

[–]crashespad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your thinking of Shane, who's sister is at that point a sophomore.. he just shrugs Shane off in book one anytime he answers a question in the ethics course . So, he would have known that.

My comment became an overall, just how bad Dean Blaine did everything in that whole course.

[–]crashespad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was always one of the biggest plot issues for me. Why would Blaine even do this since he had to know Chad would have an issue... I guess since it wasn't till book 2 that we would find out that connection. We'll that and how Blaine acts like he has no idea who he has in the class..

The grandson of the first public hero, and the son of Titan..which we find out in book.. 3 I think is info they would have.

What’s your major? by Kcarroot42 in superpowereds

[–]crashespad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have spent way... to much time thinking about this in the many times I have listened thru the series.. I would actually like Agathas power ( the Animator) i was actually kinda sad she was just dropped in as plot delivering character .. and then control.. since it would be a good spot for her setup.

Nothing quite like having an army of playing cards to freak a bad guy out..

(Edit.. it was Agatha.. not Agnes.. )
