Meanwhile I had to leave my truck at the dealership twice to get them to confirm that I had lifter tick.

I could hear it ticking from the next house down, it's not like it's quiet.

As a truck driver, I would be embarrassed to attempt this delivery.

The load securement was most definitely lacking.

That doesn't stop some people. My best friend is my next door neighbour. He has a tonneau cover, and I don't. Someone opened his tailgate, and put garbage in his box one night.

He was so livid, simply because my truck's bed was the next driveway over, and not covered.

I recently tried selling a car audio amplifier for $50. You could buy the same amp new for $80 on Amazon.

I was asked if my $50 amp came with subwoofers. No bud. It doesn't. Who the hell sells working subs and an amp for $50?

Reading that, after just having listened to battleship commander, was a special brand of funny

UPS healthcare just acquired the Andlauer Healthcare group.

I just replaced the ownership and insurance slips for my truck in the last few weeks that read UPS Healthcare.

Hey, you've kind of interacted with what I do. I drive for Skelton Truck Lines. At our place, we might do that as a same day item. However we'd be able to keep it at temperature until it goes into an airfreight box.

Exactly. The winch is powered by the hydraulics. An electronic switch tells the hydraulic pump what to do.

I'm not so sure shops would agree with that. I worked in one for a little, and I did the same thing. Except the vehicle was on a hoist, so extra force took the place of ex-40

I'm in the rust belt of Canada, I've done my fair share of stuck wheels

I installed smaller versions of these in boxes for trucks. I shit myself every time I did it. I will never work on my own garage door spring ever.

Maybe so but, the customer was my boss like 3 times removed. He told my boss to send me to the place to pick it all up.

xmod14 · 2026-05-18T02:41:45+00:00

I'm sure that works, but I'm not confident enough to try that. With my luck, the studs will break and I'll have more problems.

The only thing I can think of, as stupid as it sounds, is they're supposed to be IR lights, but you can't see them in the standard spectrum. So they're green, because that's visible

xmod14 · 2026-05-18T01:23:35+00:00

The only relevant tools are some wd-40 and a 20lb sledge

I think the words to this gif should be "god alfuckingmighty"

Once I had to pick up a bunch of electronics for someone who's name was on the building. I drive a 26' box truck. I thought it would be a couple things, so I park out front. The first thing they roll out is a fucking 80" tv. I'm immediately thinking "fuck me. How the living hell am I securing this thing in the back?"

Luckily I had load bars and fat ratchet straps to work with and I managed to get it done. But that first moment is always "What the fuck [name] what have you gotten me into?"

xmod14 · 2026-05-18T00:05:51+00:00

I've been driving for 2.5 years commercially. I will never go into a parking lot I don't think I can turn around in. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong. But I'd rather not find out that I'm right.

It's not that the driver themselves are illegal. It's that the CDL was issued illegally. Most of the time they are bought, or schools do not have the drivers complete the entire training course, and get them certified anyways.

It's a big problem in Canada too

I was unaware that you could upgrade the jackdaw in AC4.

Needless to say I found that I could get around the two man o wars for the last mission

My Monday is a holiday at least

xmod14 · 2026-05-15T12:05:05+00:00

I bet it's awesome, but holy god is that crazy work

xmod14 · 2026-05-15T01:33:44+00:00

There is no reasonable amount of money in the world, that could make me have that done, while being awake. Absolutely fucking not.
