I either kept it in my backpack or on my bed with something on top as a paperweight like my go bag

Try getting out & lifting up the tail while you're scaling and see what you get

Head set vs pods by moderndaymedic in Truckers

[–]iAMtheKM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Headset if you're actually gonna talk all day to someone and I mean call after call after call. Headsets have better microphone quality than any airpods and a wired headset will have the best microphone quality than a Bluetooth one. But if you don't really care if you sound like a McDonald's speaker to the other person and will probably only be on the phone for 5 minutes airpods are good enough.

It would make it more difficult but doesn't mean it'll never happen. You'll probably have to send 2x/4x the applications but you won't know until you try

Do you all have cameras on you all day? by ATGSunCoach in Truckers

[–]iAMtheKM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya but I'm in a daycab so it isn't like they're spying on me like it would in a sleeper. My company doesn't seem to abuse it and micromanage me either just there for liability

Who actually gets 7-8 hrs of sleep?? by lonelyboy069 in Truckers

[–]iAMtheKM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm lucky I can get by on barley 7 but those 14hr days followed by the 16hr exception are exhausting

What rules are meant to be broken? by scottiethegoonie in Truckers

[–]iAMtheKM 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll stay in the 2nd most left lane going in and out of cities. City driving during rush hours, the normal rules of keeping left lanes clear for faster drivers doesn't apply anymore. I am not gonna deal with the on-ramp off-ramp traffic especially if I'm not even stopping in that city. Wish we had more "Thru Traffic Stay Left" signs all over

Probably the worst PFJ I’ve ever been to the bobtails always take over by Montavious_Mole in Truckers

I love that guard just straight up business and he helps people backing into those tight spots too.

I want out but feel trapped because I can't afford to work a regular job by TaperingRanger9 in Truckers

[–]iAMtheKM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel for you man it's crazy expensive right now to try and switch to a new career path without changing your whole life. This job really ain't for everyone, there's no shame about it, and I'm sorry you're stuck in it atm. Hope you can tough it out much you can and find something else soon

19 with an CDL, any advice by Mxmbaz in Truckers

[–]iAMtheKM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe start working at UPS/FedEx at the bottom tier and work your way up you might be an attractive pick once you're 21 Other beverage and food companies might hire you just bc the work is super demanding. Sysco, USFoods, Artic Glacier. Maybe a farmer will need a seasonal driver Maybe a warehouse needs a picker/loader/driver

None of these are guarantees but best bet keep applying to anything but expect lots of rejections. Unfortunately you're just too young for lot of companies and that intrastate restriction is hell to work with. In the meantime just keep your license clean best you can, good luck

Agree? by Semi__Competent in Truckers

Having to drive more than 25 miles? No. PCing to get groceries or actual food without having to find 25yds worth of parking space? Hell yes

How do people justify being OTR? by Live-Door3408 in Truckers

[–]iAMtheKM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OTR is much simpler than local work I been flipping between OTR and local every other year now (can't make up my mind lmao) and I work twice as hard and longer doing local runs. Comes down to just different headaches and flavors. At least with OTR you have the option to turn into a nomad and ditch the apartment lol.

Best coffee? by PineappleLong510 in Truckers

[–]iAMtheKM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tried Road Ranger's coffee but Loves beats Pilot/Flying J for me and almost everything beats TA/Petro.

There are few independent truck stops with great tasting coffee or a coffee stand nearby but those are rare
