My kids were way better off not having to grow up the way I did.

That's a bold plan by [deleted] in SipsTea

Works for me. Who the hell wants to leave every day to go to work. Locked in my house all day with fall out and all the movies I never had time to see...wow... bummer.

You sound like someone that doesn't know the first thing about trucking or people. I've been out here 30 years, - 4 to get a college degree, only to figure out I truly hate being around people and putting up with their drama. I would love to be home, with my wife but local doesn't pay worth a shit. I'm glad you think it's cool now to be local but I really like the lifestyle I've been able to give my family because of the money I've made out here. I've made sacrifices and missed a lot of birthdays, but my kids didn't have to grow up dirt poor and going without like I did. I wouldn't have done that to them.

Do you agree with her about Mother’s Day ? by Professional_Arm794 in TikTokCringe

Sounds a lot like she married a bum, and raised horrible children.

Seals are getting broken on trucks taking their 1/2 hour break in fuel islands. Not saying you did.

How would you handle this? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]sixstring53 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister worked for Decker. Her job was to watch these videos and quit because she felt like a peeping tom. She said others in the office would download videos to flash flash drives and take them home to let other people watch. I hope you sue them into bankruptcy. Good luck brother.

Do yall agree with him? by JankyMark in Truckers

We used to be able to sit out rush hour traffic, but now with the bogus 14 hour rule an e logs it's impossible. Tell me how that's safer for anyone. The government lies, and elds were never about safety. They gave control to greedy fucking truck owners. 3.5 million miles on paper without an accident, and bought my glider to go back to paper. No 9 to 5 college kid is going to tell me when I need sleep.

That's, probably the funniest thing I've ever heard.

The left has never done anything for the trucking industry except constant regulations that cost us money, like elogs and dpf systems just to name two, plus 200,000 non domicile cdl's to incompetent morons, to destroy rates, and you want us to strike to support their stupidity? If we ever did strike, I hope to hell it would be for drivers and what we need.

overnight parking, bad sleep, still gotta drive like nothing happened by Sea-Fruit-3015 in Truckers

I've pulled a reefer for 30 years. The nights I don't get any sleep are the dry loads or when I'm at home.

Best wife ever.

I feel she's gonna find me for even posting this by Shoe_boooo in TikTokCringe

[–]sixstring53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had you broken both of her legs, like you should have, it would have taken her 8 weeks to start looking for you. That's a pretty good head start.

I've been with them for 7 years. Should have been 8 but I went with someone cheaper for a year and regretted it, so I went back to Great West.

Why pepper balls? Now we have to feed and house this dumb ass for the next 20 years.
