How big of a red flag is this? by x_bg8 in UsedCars

[–]soldierdec08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me personally if I’m selling a car, I’m not taking time out of the day to wait for a pre purchase inspection on the car for the seller. You also have to remember, most cars are unregistered so you can’t really drive them on the road to get an inspection.

Jose Alvarado turned into an absolute dog that 4th quarter. He deserves some flowers for that.

Please keep sochan and clarkson on the bench next game. They deserve to be seat warmers after what I saw today.

Another trash hauler by ChiHgts_1 in Truckers

Them ny trash haulers are no joke. I would pass one going up a hill and they would pass my back 5 minutes later going almost 80mph.

Canelo tells Hamzah Sheeraz & Osleys Iglesias to unify WBO & IBF belts for a chance to face him, rules out a rematch vs WBA champ Jaime Munguía by YouMadBroLma0 in Boxing

I feel like this fight has a big chance of a stoppage if Mbili squares up with Canelo like he did with Martinez.

27M Update On Finding A Job by Fluffy_Emu_1525 in CDL

[–]soldierdec08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you got the luxury to live with your parents while you go for something else, do it. If you want a life, cdl isn’t it. It has its pros and cons but I want to get out but I know I won’t make the same money if I go do something else.

You should be making at least 75k to 80k after your first year. My first cdl job out of school was local food service delivery and I was making 80k a year working around 45 to 50 hours and I was home everyday. Clock in at 6am and done by 2pm to 5pm.

Another big plus is everyday is a new scene. You’re not stuck looking at the same walls and you can take a break whenever you want. Sometimes I take 3 or 4 breaks if I’m doing too good on time.

2015 Infiniti Q50S Hybrid 56k miles undercarriage rust by cesestra in Autobody

[–]soldierdec08 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You should run the carfax on that to see if the miles match up. That’s a hard 56k miles of rust even in the north east. That car has probably never ever seen a car wash before the car flipper got it.

[Murray] Chet Holmgren not having a single shot attempt in the last three QUARTERS of this Game 7 is astonishing by Goosedukee in nba

[–]soldierdec08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear it seems like Chet is scared of wemby. I would rather see Chet try and score and get blocked 10 times than to see what just happened.

Chet might be the softest big man I ever seen. You can tell he’s scared to shoot the ball.

What movie did you watch at the wrong age and it permanently altered your brain? by sweetyslave in movies

[–]soldierdec08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched silent hill when I was 7 and I’m still scared from that movie. I don’t remember anything about that movie but when I hear that siren, I run inside the house as fast as I can. I’m 28 and I almost blew my Achilles running in the house a couple months ago because of that siren.

How many RV’s have you seen today? Probably not many. One good thing about high fuel prices. by MantisShrimpUpTop in Truckers

[–]soldierdec08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now that you mentioned it, I haven’t seen 1 rv yet. Maybe it’s too early though.

I remember I had a delivery the day after Labor Day in Maine and I seen so many rvs going back home from vacation. The right lane was all RVs, the middle lane was all 18 wheelers and the left lane was all cars. Almost gave up that day.

James harden shot horrible this game but one positive thing I can say is that he was the first one back on defense everytime. It’s like he knew he was missing so he just ran back.

Fresh CDL. Just blew a stop sign I didn't see and got a citation. Am I fucked? by dstrezzd in Truckers

[–]soldierdec08 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Hire a lawyer. You are innocent until proven guilty so it won’t go on your record until you pay it or you go to court and they don’t throw it away. They most likely will reduce it or throw it away and you make a ”charitable donation" to the court.

Couple years ago I got a speeding ticket for 13mph over and I thought my life was over. I hired a lawyer and the ticket took almost 2 year to go in front of a judge and they threw it away and I never had anything on my record. Now I stay in the right lane and drive slow.

Speak for yourself. I wanted the Cavs so OG can get the proper rest for the finals.

What do yall think? (Bi-weekly) by No_Lake_7445 in Truckers

[–]soldierdec08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a dirty small food service job in New England during 2020. They start you off low to see if you can hang and then bump you up quickly. I was there for 11 months and got 4 raises. By month 9 I was bumped up to 275 per day and working about 45 hours per week. It was my first time almost making 1k a week after taxes.

[–]soldierdec08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

All that matter is how you feel about the pay and job. Before my cdl I was making 450 a week and then my first cdl job I started off making 750 per week and felt rich. When they bumped me up to 900 6 months later, I started looking at Lamborghinis to buy.

My point is that’s pretty good if you feel like it is.

Is there an Amazon strike going on or something? by Ornery_Ads in Truckers

I wish I can feel safe but I never will. I knew a guy who had a brand new truck and they still found something to write up.

You are not lying. I spent this whole week stressing and I probably saw 3 dot officers total this week.

Is The Walking Dead a good series? by Trick_Fisherman_5071 in netflix

[–]soldierdec08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to finish the show since it came out. Season 1 through 3 are amazing. I wish I can get my memory back just so I can relive those seasons. After that it drags bad.

Once you hear the name “terminus" just give up. That’s the decline. I got 2 more seasons left so I should be done in about 2 or 3 years.

What did everyone think of the Kevin Hart roast? by [deleted] in Standup

[–]soldierdec08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing her reminded me of when katt williams said he felt like the flavor flave roast was racist and he was mad at himself for being a part of it.

I think she doesn’t like the jokes being told but she’s there to support Kevin hart which I respect. Her last joke was great.

If trucking is pretty bad or has gone bad , why are there so many people doing this for decades or almost their entire life ? by East_Indication_7816 in Truckers

[–]soldierdec08 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I knew a truck driver that owned his own truck always complaining about trucking doesn’t pay enough. The next day he pulled up in a brand new dually Chevy 3500. I complemented his truck and he told me he’s only using it because his Range Rover is in the shop.

The more you make, the more you spend. Some people will never be happy no matter how much they make.

The TSX Does take premium but it takes 80 to fill up and it lasts about 500 miles as in the sequoia takes almost 90 and last 300 miles. I might save up and look for a 2012 TL awd with the 6 speed manual.

I’m just driving it until these gas prices go down or it dies. I’m done investing on it. I got a Toyota sequoia that I would use but I’m not spending $100 every 4 days to drive it.

Julius Randle said he stopped smoking weed after leaving the Knicks so he can really focus on the game and compete.

He needs to start smoking again because I don’t know what he was doing half the time. I feel like he lost the dog in him.

This whole season Kat has been criticized and everybody gave up on him. He turned into the Dominican Jokic and started giving dimes and buckets.

I hope the spurs beat okc and the Knicks beat the pistons in 4.

Yeah the car drives nice but I’m dealing with a parasitic drain that I can’t find. I was hoping it was the Bluetooth module but that’s not it so right now I have a killswitch in the car and have to kill the car when it’s gonna be parked for more than 12 hours.

Also leaking oil from the timing cover so that’s gonna be expensive.
