TruckerFag Thread

>Obtaining a CDL: How do?
Community College or a dedicating truck driving school. Do your research and don't get sucked into a "school" that's actually just a meat grinder for a shit company. Do not pay over $5000 for a course that lasts several months.
>How can I into avoidings shit companies?
Here are some decent/good companies:

If you don't see the company you're looking at included on this list, lurk moar.

>I could totally go to school but I'd rather be a trucker.
If you think you'll love the lifestyle, maybe. You'd be better off getting a """""real""""" job. You can fall back on trucking at any time, but it is essentially a path of decent money for those that fail at everything else.
You can have good business sense and work ethic and make it big as an owner operator, but you would do even better at any other job.

Looks like I'm breaking 500mi/day for the first time in 5ever, m8s.

Holy shit...

Nice. Still got my student on the truck. Im pulling ~200/day right now. Poor guy used to work for maverick. Never drove a manual. Been a lot of grinding on the transmission over the past 8 days.

Someone brougjt the wrong trailer.

Don't know if this quote link will work right. TF has recommended 2 years experience bare minimum to go O/O, 'cause insurance will fuck you if you got less than that.
Nice.
Feels bad man.
At least he had the sense to call authorities and get the fuck away.

Hm I wonder what that looked like off camera.

Hey truckers I was wondering what it's like to lose a tire on the highway.
Do you feel/hear it?
Do you just ignore it and finish the trip with 17 wheels?

I was kinda made to believe that it would be longer than 2 years for insurance companies to lower rates. But that number is more doable.

How do O/Os figure out how to do everything? If that makes sense. Like, where to get freight, how to get fuel, how much cash reserves are necessary, if it's better to lease to a company or get own authority, how into authority, etc? Are there resources I can study?

How much does babby's first tractor/trailer usually cost?

>BANG
>vibration
>rubber shower
You stop at closest safe place or risk causing damage to other tires, brakes, other drivers. Though you don't necessarily have to stop immediately.

Hear yes. Feel only if its a super single or steer.
Its illegal to drive with a blown tire. Typically ill pull over and assess the situation. If i can ill at least get to the nearest exit. If not or if the load is heavy ill sit where i am and let the repair truck come to me.

Any news about your trainer yet? She still sitting at the casino?

Oh she finally called me at 2 am about 78 hours after we had arrived. Tried saying "user, you never said you wanted to leave tho" mfw

Kek

How mad was she that you left her there?

Oh she was pissed. I just hung up on her after she kept trying to blame it on me. Then blocker her number.

Thats funny as hell. Good on ya for ditching her.

She even wanted my dickaroo while drunk. The whole situation is funny AF except that i missed out on a week of pay...

> full week of pay

Wew lad.

Well 2 days waiting on her ass 3 days waiting on a flight back home then the weekend to pass by so yeah full week.

Snitching faggot cuck

You can suck my 3ft cock

>wah I don't feel safe with you

Grasping for straws now?
Wasnt a matter of safety was a matter of lets get the fuck back on the road so i can finish this training shit and make money.

Hope she black list you as a cry baby sjw and they pair you with some faggot

See

A nigger will NEVER admit responsibility to anything.
It's always somebody else's fault.

I know this why do you think i left/blocked her.

Kek
Yep, youre going to make one helluva driver.

Thanks, i think

Nice resolution faggot literally one job

One might say you'll make a "super" trucker.

>Not sure if compliment or insult

>not an insult

Notice it says "download" in the filename. Blame shitty phone internet.

2 years is usually where insurance policies start to dip below the five figure mark over age 25 with a spotless record.

Take two years as a company driver to figure it out. You can calculate expenses to operate the truck you're driving day to day, and learn what operating cost is first hand. It is the current year and you can google anything you'd want to know about the subject. If you insist on being spoon fed Kevin Rutherford sells a step by step guide for 300 dollarydoos or something.

You can figure out what kind of cash reserves you need to go into it once you've been calculating operating expenses for at least 6 months then take into consideration that you're going to pay more for everything because you can't leverage economies of scale, you're going to fuck shit up because you're green, most of any truck is replaced every 5 years, and it usually takes 90 days to get paid for anything.

Tight spot.
>that forklift bounce halfway through the panorama

Where did you get that picture of me?

Fucking tourists

Look at all those toys, guy knows how to live. Probably has a cabin in the woods by a lake somewhere too.

TF said YBJ cost him $7500 to start I think. You can get trucks that can do the job for $10k but they'll obviously be rough as fuck. I'm sure you saw his reply to you already, it's good info/advice.

So go OTR. Ditch the NYC apartment, buy a house somewhere cheap without a HOA that'll steal your car for sitting there for a while, or your house for not mowing your lawn.
Otherwise,if you've just got your license, stay where you are and accrue #experience' before going OTR to make yourself a better hire.

Drunk women have low standards. Especially lonely ones, and especially fat ones.
Trucking is a seriously lonely job.

Pretty quiet in here today.

Yeah. Well I am a rainbow trucker afterall.

I'm busy, got a mouthful.

Mouthful of cock amirite

I predict I will be laid off in 1-5 years. Electronics QA will be consoldated to guys with more seniority, other pleb workers and machines.

I'm looking to be a truckerfag when get laid off. Will I get hired on a company if I have a felony conviction and a dwui?

Try CR England

Anyone other than CR England? Swift or somebody? It was a long time ago.

Not sure Swift would have you, they are the Best in Class

IL has seperate DMVs for commercial drivers. Kinda nice as long as you live close to one because you don't have to deal with nearly as many stupid people as the regular DMV.

>Felony
Probably not an issue if it isn't drug related
>dui
If it's within 5 years, you're fucked. More than 5, you'll have some options, but not a many good ones
NV does that too, but they're small as shit and don't adopt the time saving things like online check in that our regular DMVs have. It makes anything you have to do take forever, for no benefit I can see

I haven't had a good bitch and moan story for awhile
>workin route today, a bunch of stops I haven't done in like 2yrs so day is gonna take a little longer
>new boss who has never done my job and doesn't even have a CDL calls asking if I have a fuel card because dumb fuck other driver left without a card
>as where other driver is
>he's kinda close to my Friday routes, but I'm working 20-30min away from there today
>new manager has no clue and still convinced I'm somehow the closest one and dumbass driver is supposed to meet up with me and get fuel somewhere by me
>other driver calls me, tell him where I am and manager is retarded and he should call one of at least 4 or 5 other drivers who are closer
>he says he doesn't even have the fuel to come to me anyway
>new manager calls me up 10min later trying to get me to go meet up with other driver on his route since he is runnin on fumes
>tell him fuck no, that's gonna take an hour or two out of my day before I even get back to my stops and he's a dumb fuck for leaving with no fuel
>hang up and go to my next stop

They really need to start promoting people that have actually fucking done this job.

Checked

And the regular DMV hours are such shit alread, like worse than bank hours. How do they manage to make the CDL DMV have worse hours?

What the fuck?

I was looking up those cylindrical air cleaners on the sides of your rigs.

ITS FUCKING SHEET METAL.
WHY IS IT $500

I CAN BUY A CAR FOR THAT!

What in gods name makes it worth that cost?

Chrome nigga.

Are they OEM or some nice company? Where is the equivalent of the $25 Walmart CAI for semi trucks?

Any and all of the ones I've found.
Any suggestions for a shit one? Preferably in some Horrible ugly color, or maybe a rusty shitty one.

How does one find a lot lizard

There are lots of lizards in the desert.

Got sum "Best in Class' OC to share today.

Poor little Celica got BTFO

You don't find lizards, they find you. And the they keep pounding on your fucking door until you fuck them or leave.

Also theres a reason i stopped using the handle. But whatever. This is actually kinda funny. Pic related
Youre not going to turn me into a tripfag.

You are one stubborn pokemon. Just evolve already.

Pump truck here had a blow out on a wall today with the ceo watching he says to me "grab a shovel" i then head to talk with the mix truck guy

>mfw

Nope. I refuse. I have no interest in doing it.

>see, I can make this a game also.

Been doing the piers and airports for 5 years. I'm afraid to go OTR because I don't want to leave the guaranteed money.

Felony was for felony utilities tampering, not drugs or violence, I was barely even in prison. That dwui was 7 years ago, I was a taxi driver then but they did'nt charge for that be cause I was off the clock. I got barred by Yellow Cab but I don't list them as a reference or anything.

I-is that in orange county, CA?

Where you turning on your water poor fag

Nah. I-238 in SF Bay Area

>felony utilities tampering
Growing marijuana were we?

>Also theres a reason i stopped using the handle

What reason?

Stealing wire to support my crippling meth addiction.

No I broke into a power substation and opened all the switches in the circuit closets on the primary busbars while they were under load.

I was pretty drunk. Glad I'm not a arab I'd probably be getting waterboarded right now.

>BEST IN CLASS MATERIAL

Mostly because it's just a stupid name. I'm waiting to come upwith something better.

How about "Anonymous".

You have a lot to learn on raising tripfags.
You can't just tell them what you want them to do. You need finesse. You need to make them want it.
Just clumsily going "oh god i gobble so many cocks" with their name is babby tier.

It's better if nobody but the target themself can tell it's not them.

You might occasionally throw in something about sniffing their trainer's panties but you have to keep it in the realm of believability.

You need to infuriate the nascent tripfag, make him feel as if he's losing control of his identity.
Once you get him into an argument about who is and isn't the original, you've won.
Practice, padawan.

Simply stated i stopped blowing tires up.

This might work, except for one thing. Posting the way I am right now means no name. So if you want to use blowntire as your handle go ahead. I know its not me and thats all that matters. As far as

>sniffing their trainers panties

Im a 10 year veteran of this industry. There is no trainer.

>starve to death making $0.55 a mile

Are you implying anyone on this thread gives a damn enough about you about which anonfag is that blowntirefaggot? Don't flatter yourself honey

Kek fucking addicts crack me up it must take a very weak mind to get addicted to drugs

Do you get paid to sit around waiting

If you're hourly like me, yes.
Hell I can take the liberty of waiting for lights to turn green before I make a right turn.
