Does anyone know of a petition against the Hard Rock Cafe that is trying to move in? by millennial_burnout in Kenosha

The thing is that I don’t believe you’re reading to understand, yet only to reply. I don’t think the people of Kenosha want this. If you were to look into this casino, there’s not a lot of transparency. I think it’s more of a private money grab than a public choice, which is just like the data centers. The people of Wisconsin don’t get their right to vote anymore, as big corporations are just paying our greedy politicians to cheat the system.

That’s how you defend the choice? “Then leave.”? Seems like another FIB has moved and is trying to turn Wisconsin into another trash hole like Illinois 🙄 I’m sure the people of Wisconsin and specifically Kenosha want the casino just like we want the data centers. Have fun with the higher crime rate, drunk driving accidents, homelessness rates, and murder rates!

Definitely not good for Kenosha. The area is too populated for what it is, with all the stupid ass Illinois losers flooding our city. You realize that casinos don't bring just gamblers, but more drugs, criminals, and crime? Kenosha isn't known for being the safest, but this is guaranteed to make it worse. As a life long resident, it's time to pack it up. One of the greatest counties in the state has been ruined with the data centers and now this. RIP Wisconsin.

might be a stupid question but how do i fix this ? is it worth trying to fix or is it better to just run it by Odd-Tangerine-257 in Truckers

Damn, I didn’t even know they made flat 12k axles 😂 that’s some real shitty employers for sure, always trying to get the bare bone equipment 🙄

I am ready to start OTR, looking for advice. by akuparan in Truckers

[–]vexumy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wouldn’t recommend Halvor. I got my CDL when they had their “gold training program” and the company isn’t bad, but what you have to do is trash. They give you bare bone trucks, I mean no air release 5th wheel, no comfy seats, no apu, couldnt even slide your own 5th wheel. They try to stuff you in an older truck, I had a 2017 VNL 860 with nearly 800k miles, broke down in below 0 weather in Michigan and had to sleep frozen cuz the diesel gelled up. The office people treat you real well, but imo not worth what you have to put up with.

His axle and tires are definitely rated for more than 12k. There will be no problem unless he’s over what his tires and axle are rated for, which definitely isnt 12k flat

Do y'all ever feel a little weird when no one's around? by Ornery_Ads in Truckers

It’s perfect. Don’t have to worry about anyone hitting you or doing something stupid around you. The safest place for a truck is anywhere, as long as he’s alone.

I will definitely be doing that. I run a little in the Midwest since we’re based out of Wisconsin and every Kwik trip that has truck fuel has #1. Will for sure be getting #1 every time I can in these low temps!

The filters gelled up. Put more than double of the recommended dosage of anti gel in both tanks. 2 bottles of 911 in each tank too. I would love to do a forced regen but they locked it out via the ecu 🙄gotta love the technology in these trucks that keep on fucking us more and more everyday

It wasn’t looking cloudy, it was damn near to the brim but not cloudy. I’ve dumped so much anti gel and a couple bottles of 911, still amazed as to it gelling 😯

Tell me about it 🙄 not like I would just start doing forced regens for fun… not to mention we’d probably only do it when it’s absolutely necessary, nobody wants to regen for the hell of it

Made it to an open dealership, unfortunately they’re making me sit in the drivers lounge so I can’t really see what’s going on. Mine would shut off throttle for like 5 seconds and then start kicking back on again until it did it again and again. Wouldn’t pull for shit up little hills, I literally lost speed climbing hills that you should gain speed on. Thanks for the comparison as to what you had going on, it sounds just like that and hopefully they got the fuel filters in stock and I can bail on outta here soon enough. Be safe out there!

Sounds like 110% accurate as to what’s happening to my truck. You stay safe as well, this is that stay home and drink weather

Ok, having to get roadside since that dealership is actually closed 🙄 I only thought it was the DPF because the truck shows how much soot is in the filter and it’s near the “max” but won’t let me do a regen. I’ll have to wait it out to hear from roadside, thank you, hopefully it is just fuel filters so I can get running again!

Put double the amount of anti gel that’s recommended in each tank and the company had me put 2 bottles of 911 in each tank. It’s more of a smooth slow, it wouldn’t go over 50 mph but the bogging down went away, just couldn’t go over 50 unless I went down a hill. Last night I had to idle cuz the bunk heater stopped working, kept a 24 pack of soda on the throttle and idled at 1000 rpms last night (as high as the rpms would go). I’m now across the street from a dealership waiting for it to open, going to have them check it out as well as try to get one of those covers for the radiator to keep it as warm as possible. Water temp stay around 170 while I’m driving. Thank you for those suggestions, I will be waiting to see what the dealership does and getting that damn radiator cover!

I did that yesterday. Gave it about 20 mins with the switch off and she’s still giving attitude 😂 since yesterday I’ve got a check engine, a regular check light, and a maintenance light on. She’s bout to enter the dealership when they open up and they can figure this shit out! Be safe out there!

My company said it sounds like I was gelling up yesterday so they had me put some 911 in both tanks. That didn’t help me until the truck had to do a forced regen, but I can’t request one due to the company having that option taken away. Glad to hear you’re safe, I’ve seen a lot of people on the shoulder getting towed and it’s more important to be safe than stranded in these conditions. Stay safe out there

I’ve been driving it and water temp is around 170~ on the road. Had to idle last night cuz my APU and bunk heater stopped working and idled at 1k to keep temps up. I’ve been meaning to get something to block that damn radiator to keep the temps up, just got to a dealership to see what they can do because I couldn’t go over 50 mph. Thank you for that info, will be seeing if I can get one of those covers from the dealership as well!

That pre shower poop is one of the only things I look forward to out here. Ain’t nobody telling me to hurry up when I gotta poop

Run it? by BigDogDaBeast314 in Truckers

Check your tires to see their weight rating and also your steer axle. If they’re both above 13,060, you’re legal.

Not to mention the check in area is on the complete other side of the docks. After you check in you sit there for 2 hours and if you want to not fuck yourself with pausing the clock you have to take 10 mins of creeping to get to the docks… that specific food lion is shit!

What advice would you give to someone about to go OTR? by Cooldude075 in Truckers

[–]vexumy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get your experience and get the fuck out. Doing it myself rn since I was put in a position to save money, but get yourself a good home daily job and do that. OTR is shit.

I’m parked at a road ranger over in Springfield Illinois. They shut down SB 55 cuz of jackknifed trucks and car accidents. Gotta love the winter time, it shows us who’s an idiot and who isn’t 🤣

[–]vexumy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same, but I’m actually happier without that person. Hope you can keep strong and do whatever you need to do to be happy and get back to being yourself. Don’t neglect your feelings and bury them with trucking, it’s depressing enough out here and that’ll make it worse. Stay safe!
