44 TONNES. YOU GONNA GET FAT/KEKED. WHY R TRUCKS SO SHIT?
Andrew Scott
It 404'd didn't it?
Matthew Martinez
old bread
John Phillips
What does the 44 tonnes meme mean?
Henry Diaz
Looks like I'm fucking dumb, but what else is new?
Brayden Collins
y-you aint dumb senpai i just had it open in the archive, so i linked it
Austin Gonzalez
Towing 44 tons pleb
Jace Murphy
i think 44 tonnes(97000lbs) is the weight limit in Upside-down Alabama, while its 40 tons(80000lbs) in America.
Grayson Perry
out of interest, how easy is it to roll over a truck and how often does it happen? how much does the load affect it (bobtailing vs trailer with light load vs max capacity vs something with high center of gravity ) and is there a difference between cab overs and regular semis
Jaxon Stewart
It's the weight limit in europe, where trucks haul real weights. And it's mostly payload, since eurotruck are smaller, lighter and more powerful than ameritrucks.
Jaxon Morris
It should also be noted that 40 tons is the federal MINIMUM for Interstate weight limits. It just happens that the States choose to make it their maximum in order to keep getting oversize permit shekels.
David Roberts
How easy it is to roll depends a lot on the load. Something like in that picture with water stacked to the top of the trailer will roll much easier than, say, a beef load that's only stacked waist high. That said, it's still pretty easy on things like older cloverleafs that are pretty tight if you come in too fast.
Eli Fisher
OHL a shit. They won't let me pick up my homeward bound load early, so now I have to wait at a TA until tomorrow.
More Kiznaiver and Luluco then.
Nathan Nguyen
>started pick ups on monday >7 in total now > each fucking place has me wait 3+ hours for like 2 pallets of apples >then dispatcher claims broker can't find anything else and has me sit around for the evening > final one, most likely waiting into the night
Between my partial (500) here and this fucked up load (6.1k), im going to get stuck over the weekend on the east coast.
At least they put out a basket of free apples...
Owen Rogers
Dude we get it, Europeans are superior to Americans in everyway. Please remind us again in 5 minutes
Ian Baker
>smaller ok >lighter ok >more powerful than ameritrucks True?
Isaiah Hill
44 tonnes is literally 17000lbs more then the US limit.
Jaxon Phillips
Oh hey, look what I had brewing in my head the last 2 days after hearing Ram Jam`s Black Betty, especially the senpai-a-lam.
Whoa, Black Betty (senpai-a-lam) Whoa, Black Betty (senpai-a-lam) Black Betty had a truck (senpai-a-lam) The steers gone bald (senpai-a-lam) She said "Can`t haul load" (senpai-a-lam) The broker`s gone mad (senpai-a-lam) I said Oh, Black Betty (senpai-a-lam) Whoa, Black Betty (senpai-a-lam)
Someone up to continue this?
Gavin Gomez
My sides, the filters.

Dem filters tho
Oliver Reed
Trees man.
Austin Ross
Stretch truck just became legend.
Carter Parker
Going to trade this Pete in and get a 350" argosy with a 20ft deck and 20k steers. Become the train I shall.
John Sullivan
Fucking found out I had a flat after the shipper filled my truck. Bad valve stem it seems.
Figured Ill ask you guys, but are there any companies that have weekends off in Florida? Nearest I have found is Gepsym and the terminal is Savannah. I wouldn't mind 3weeks on/ 5 off.
Angel Evans
3 weeks on/ 5 days off. I with a shit that does 1 day for every 7. And I would like my weekends back. I was doing slip seat, and it was killing me mentally and physically. I slept in my car more than own bed.
Grayson Morris
Fukkin Laredo.
Sticker power, yeah, but as long as you don't roll coal you can turn your engine up to 2000HP in burgerland if you want to cook a motor faster.
>those straps RIP trees.
>Florida I fucking swear there are 500,000 other drivers looking for the exact same position you're looking for. They're out there, but you're underqualified.
Move to a functional state.
Joshua Perry
Weekly reminder to all truckers that: You will get fat. You have the most hazardous job in the nation. You have one of the most stressful jobs in the nation. You will never get a decent girl in this profession. Your job will be obsolete once self-driving trucks become available. Your loved ones miss you. The only reason you get paid well is because you work 70 hours per week. There is nothing "cool" about the cb since most of it consists of shitposting on the airwaves. The food you eat sucks. The police hate you and will harass you every chance they get. Other drivers hate you. The DOT has you by the balls. Companies that use qualcomm have you by the balls. If you don't change careers you will forever be considered a cuck and a homo. Especially if you live with another fag driver.' That is all. Have a nice day :).
Angel Howard
This might have an obvious answer but when you're in training and you're with another driver do you share the same bed? Even if you drive opposite shifts sharing a bed seems nasty.
Elijah Rodriguez
Nah, there are studio sleepers. An upper and lower bunk. You'll usually have the upper one.
Joshua Kelly
I wish stuff like this happened in America.
Ethan Kelly
And you will be ok with the top bunk since your trainer is on the north side of 375lbs.
I could never do that shit.
John Hall
based whiney-kun, you are my spirit waifu. have some old content from when we thought you were kill
my sides are in orbit
this is good
Elijah Cox
oh fuck, my sides were supposed to be in orbit from the filter fuck. you fags know what i maen.
Luke Hill
>move to a functional state
I would, but I just signed a lease. I prefer my disfunctional little slice of beaches and crazy shit. Also, no state tax.
Samuel Robinson
Get on dat Pepsi truck. You're body will be destroyed, but at least you will have your weekends.
Josiah Adams
liek this? would the trailer go on a pintle dolly??
Jackson Bell
>daycab
I may, but my current goal was looking for something that had me out for the 5-6 days to kill my 70 then return for my reset at home. I was doing Walmart dedicated, but when I moved I was too far from the DC. I'm near ocala, so I'm looking for stuff near there.
Isaiah Bennett
When did you think I was kill? ;-;
That's an awesome picture though, fukken saved.
Justin Gomez
It will have a fifth wheel on there somewhere I'm sure.
I just imagine it being the chassis from one of those giant wreckers.
James Reed
I think you took some home time a couple weeks after you started and didn't post for a bit. That pic was from a while back.
Nicholas Wright
twin steer ftw
Evan Ramirez
i found it!!!!!
Michael Harris
Ive always wondered, when the radiator hose goes after driving for 2 months, do you have to tilt the entire cab to fix it? Doesn't all your stuff fall? Also, pretrips in America usually want you checking belts before you drive off. Hard to do that in a cab over.
Jonathan Wood
Im in new zealand and just did a dangerous goods course so i can haul dangerous shit, 1 truck every 3 days rolls in new zealand statistically, i saw 3 rolled over last week in beachlands, maraetai and whitford, id say its pretty easy one tyre out of place on a shit corner will do it
Elijah Parker
That would make sense, I don't usually get on 4chin when I'm home.
Also, what's the deal about showering barefoot? There was a post about it in the last bread. Is it unsanitary or what?
Gavin Walker
>40 tons Thats only like 38 TONNES m8
Owen Watson
This is the concept. This one and is 300 with a 12ft deck.
Grayson Turner
>do you have to tilt the entire cab to fix it? i think so >Doesn't all your stuff fall? anything that isnt stowed >Also, pretrips in America usually want you checking belts before you drive off. Hard to do that in a cab over. sound right to me
Ian Morris
This might be the saddest picture I've ever seen.
Jack Lopez
That particular wrecker would be a triple frame. Assuming its Miller spec, I believe they do the entire frame front to back. Outside of being a wrecker or a crane, the chassis are useless for anything else because of the sheer weight alone.
Zachary Rivera
in public places, yes. enjoy your athlete's foot ;^)
also I think the milk carton was when you got that ebin load to New York that we assumed was going to result in a calamity because you had placed your fate in the hands of your Qualcomm
Adam Torres
user pls, nothing of value was lost
Logan Hughes
so no dolly, thats a much better idea. i just wasnt aware.
Jack Johnson
...
Owen Rivera
Words escape me.
Joseph Gutierrez
I thought you get that from being in sweaty shoes a lot? I haven't had issues since I've started.
It could've been, but I kept you guys updated most of that trip. Especially with the BMW Bumper Bonanza.
Landon Howard
Get that weak shit outta here pleb.
Ayden Taylor
nah, sweaty shoes by themselves won't usually give you athlete's foot. it's a contagious fungus; it's called athlete's foot because athletes tend to get it from locker room showers.
get some shower flip-flops, kohai
Landon Phillips
I already have some but don't use them since the showers generally seem clean, except at the Swift terminal where I've showered once.
Gabriel Mitchell
How hard do you think it would to get emergency inflatable pontoons and explosive bolts put on a truck?
For those people that drive over ice or otherwise face a high risk of going into the water.
When the truck hits the water. The pontoons would inflate and the bolts blow. Leaving the cab to float on the surface while the chassis and trailer go down.
Luis Lewis
>looks clean
just what billions of germs want you to think
Matthew Hernandez
Germs are fucking everywhere, your steering wheel is probably far worse off than the floor of a shower.
As long as you don't have the immune system of a toddler, you'll be fine.
Adrian Lopez
Kek. Enjoy your tinea and fat truckers cum on yor feet.
Do you really shower barefoot?
Landon Perez
I had sex with this recently.
Daniel Reyes
Did you tongue punch her fartbox?
Alexander Bell
Yeah, like I said, I haven't had any issues. As long as they spray those showers down with bleach, I can't be bothered.
Xavier Brooks
>3d
William Roberts
So you have a blend of 100+ truckers bodily fluids on your steering wheel?
>whiney showers barefoot I knew I'd be right. Fucken whiney, he has no idea.
Noah Martin
Negative. She had a weird skin tag/bump in between her ass and pussy.
Austin Ward
Must be that protective coating of 100+ truckers semen/piss/snot/phlegm you have on your feet from showering barefoot.
Eli Gonzalez
That was her vestigal penis.
Christopher Sanders
No, I don't but even interacting with a door handle getting into a store had already covered your hand in billions of germs. Germs are everywhere stop being a baby. I have absolutely no idea, nor do I care.
Brandon Wright
>going up pretty steep incline >see multiple cops up ahead on shoulder >merge left >fucking faggot flat need Texas trucker is oblivious >cuts me off last second >smell brakes from how much I had to apply them >have to downshift and crawl at 40mph
Gavin Richardson
Enjoy my piss and cum on your feet.
They dont go and clean the showers after every time they get used.
Gavin Fisher
Alright
Charles Wilson
>taking showers
Once a week masterace
Thomas Turner
t. British trucker
Anthony Cooper
What's the point in concealed carry when you advertise it with a sticker?
Joshua Peterson
this is why i have a spritzer bottle of bleach in my shower kit. gordo showers are never cleaned. im almost certain neither are the towels.. seems normal. 99% of the drivers i see dont react till they either A. crash into the object or B. think im the asshole for moving over and wish to brake check me.
we racing slicks nao.
>get phonecall from dispatch > "yeah hey, we have a load for you to run out of walla walla. even tho you are like 15 minutes away in our yard with plenty of empties we want you to bobtail to hermiston and find one at the wallmart..you know the one we leave all of our damaged trailers in?that be great thanks! oh! also can you deliver it to the no freight out black hole? we promise to have something for you by the time you get there.kthx bai oh and its already late and needs to be liveloaded *click* it took me a minute, since i requested him banned from calling my phone.but this is litterally what all the qualcomm messages he sends me are like.. >cleaning out old phone to send to a friend find all my old photos. god damn i took a lot of photos since then. and i need to go visit my aunt again in clearwater..
John Jones
I didn't know Swift ran flatbeds, until I saw this while waiting for the bus.
>parked in a bus zone having a smoke
Dylan Mitchell
Today when I was shifting from 4th to 5th the truck made a nasty noise like the tranny was going to fall out the bottom what do
Jonathan Long
Never shift into those 2 gears again.
Carter Smith
what said.
Brody Campbell
That's not a bad idea, I might carry one just in case I get some questionable shower stalls.
Yeah senpai, I believe the El Paso terminal used to have that account with Can-Am which was exclusively flat bed. Then we lost it to Werner or something.
Angel Hall
Get a new truck, it's over. If you can't just never use 4th or 5th gear again.
Charles Hernandez
I'll just ride her hard till she blows
Jaxson Cook
Buy some damn sandals I swear. I piss in the shower every time and shit in it once a month or so.
Josiah Bailey
Whiney who's you're waifu? Or are you a seasonal waifu casual shit?
Jordan Harris
>all the foots in this thread Yes.
Logan Turner
Already have some m8
I'll admit I do have seasonal waifus but I usually have one waifu above them all. It's been Mirai Kuriyama from Beyond the Boundary but holy shit if Otako from Oshiete Galko-chan hasn't stolen that's spot.
Who's your waifu though?
Landon Evans
Best girl
Adam Long
Haven't watched that animu. Where's she from?
Matthew Taylor
WHY R TRUCKS SO SHIT? because they are not trains
Camden Lee
Dude weed bro here about to get my tanker and haul gas pretty sure that is the only way to make decent dosh for minimal work
