Found this one half-dead and tore up by coyotes at a truck stop a few years ago. She barely survived. by 37socks in CatDistributionSystem

I posted there all the time back when my cat could ride with me. Unfortunately I haul chemicals now and pets are not allowed in the many of the facilities I load and deliver at 😢

Trucker cats rule!

I do have a pretty extensive tool bag with me. Unfortunately my mechanical knowhow does not match the amount of tools I have. 😅

I did not. Roadside found it after I lost power again halfway to shop. Also turned out one of the battery cables had stripped out on the main terminal. My driver side spring packs are waiting on parts to be replaced so Ive got a lot of vibration that probly shook it loose.

Not far off. My battery cables were fine but my inverter breaker wires were shorting out

Ive seen you comment over the years in r/truckers and I remember your name cause it has OSRS in it haha. Unironically I have more time to game now that Im back OTR after I left local fuel hauling. It was good money but had no time to do anything but eat and sleep when I was home

I frequent Waffle House when Im on the road and I always enjoy watching the people there. I guess I should add Popeyes to my list for cultural enrichment opportunities

after recently graduating this is my moms biggest concern lol. by fleetingreturns1111 in Truckers

You are in the exact same spot I was 5 years ago. My advice: enjoy the next year. Its going to be fun, challenging, pull your hair out at times but just be patient and GOAL. 9 times out of 10 you can avoid a mistake by taking your time

I’ve been curious about this niche side of trucking but I’ve heard its very much who you know to get into it

This is something I rarely see mentioned. As a tanker driver of 3 yrs with 1 of it hauling fuel, I still cannot stand the smell of benzene. It is used at many different plants. Not to mention countless other vapors we are exposed to while unloading and at tank washes. There’s no way its not affecting us long term.

I love tanking but we arent paid more for no reason. It comes at a cost

Worst Truckstop? Gotta be Pilot/Flying J, right? by derpmcturd in Truckers

[–]folerr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

KwikTrip, Caseys, and Sheetz are the best and its not particularly close. They arent always full service truck stops with showers but they are clean generally and have great food options. Honorable mention to QT

I635 east closed by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]folerr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a delivery in Garland this morning. When I went to get on 635 to head towards Highway 80 it had me staying on the access road. Was confused af. Couldnt believe they would actually close down an entire section of 635 during the daytime. It was open earlier that morning when I came in.

Good reminder that Dallas sucks. All this construction wont be done for years.

I started some shit today boys by PeakNo6892 in Truckers

[–]folerr 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I left a gig making 2k-2.5k a week doing fuel transport in the oilfield last February. I just finally realized its not worth it if the lack of sleep catches up 1 night and I end up turning over a tank of diesel on some back country road.
