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.
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. #truckmoney >fortykeks.gif Hm I wonder what that looked like off camera.
Connor Miller
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?
Jaxon Carter
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.
Jack Jenkins
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.

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.

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.

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.
William Diaz
>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
Owen Cooper
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.

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.

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.
Oliver Rivera
Simply stated i stopped blowing tires up.
Jeremiah Martinez
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
