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.

Nothing like blazing it after a long 14 hour day am I right cucks
Charles Nguyen
If you enjoy those sort of things, sure. I prefer just having a beer.
It'sIt's one of the great freedoms, having a beer in your truck after work.
Brody Lee
What are the chances of that fucking you? Because I do it sometimes.
Chase Powell
Not illegal to have alcohol in the truck here. But you cannot drive with any trace of alcohol in your system. Nothing against the law about having a brew in your sleeper after work.
Nathaniel Walker
You can have alcohol in your system, dui is half the regular standard, if you're below it but have some they take you out of service for 24hours. That's what my school told me anyway.
Wyatt Evans
lol, then you report it to your company and get instantly fired
Jordan Brooks
Different countries user. Alcohol in truck cab is fine, but no alcohol in your system 0%BAC.
Carter King
0% is impossible, normal body metabolism produces some alcohol. On modern breath and blood tests even that tiny amount shows up.
Side note: I did some lab work in college running assays on the components of a new drug testing kit to try to figure out why it was throwing false positives. Turns out it wasn't the materials, the new reaction media was sensitive enough to react with the absolutely fucking miniscule amounts of natural opioids in the human body.
Eli Barnes
Eh..phrased that wrong. It wasn't the opioids directly being tested for but a secondary metabolite that happened to be the same as from some normal bullshit your body produces in much lower quantities.
I wasn't on the development end, just loading trays, clicking buttons and setting timers. There's a reason I'm a truck driver.

I literally spend far more time sitting around at various places/events than actual driving.
I don't drive school routes at all and I still get 50-60 hours a week just doing school athletic trips and outside charters. The variety of groups I've driven is incredible.....everything from daycare field trips to large-scale transfers of military personnel.

Guys I have no fucking money and I have considering Swift.
Should I just kill myself instead?
Lucas Wright
How does this even happen? It looks like you didn't swing wide enough, but how do you not see you're about to wreck shit? Is there an explanation other than the driver not looking in his mirrors?
t. bus rider
Jack Cruz
Go check out the pastebin. Thwre are some good starter conpanies listed there.
Brayden Lee
Hospital blood tests I've read many times would disagree with you.
Daniel Long
I've looked it over and the only one I can find in my area is Swift. At least one that allows me to work off the schooling. >PNW I could be wrong though.
Liam Butler
Lemme give it to you straight. If you are destitute, go to swift. Or PAM. Or CR England.
Sign their contract. Take their schooling. Be their slave. Under NO circumstances sign a lease. That's a death sentence. They'll tell you your schooling will be free if you lease. Don't do it.
Live like a CHUD while you finish your obligation. Realize you will get shit pay amd shit training. Go slow, err on the side of caution, give zero fucks about your dispatchers harrassing you. You might not be able to pay for rent or a car but you can live on their wages and sleep in the truck. Do your time, get your experience, don't pull any whineys or eminems, move to a company that pays.
Ayden Brown
HOW
Almost all companies have some form of tuition reimbursement. So get a loan and go to a good driving school then go to whichever company suits you.
Jose Rogers
LOL fucking non driving faggot wew lad F to your short lived trucker career
Samuel James
ty m8s. And yes I am destitute.
Nicholas Bell
Have you tried sucking dicks? I hear that is better than swift. Pays better too.
Nicholas Anderson
A new meme needs to be made for the newfag pokemon trucker failure.
Brandon Cruz
We all fuck up. I managed to tear the outer skin off a fiberglass door on a sterling when I was new. But we dont have all that csa score and whatever else you guys have. So it is largely forgotten.
Landon Robinson
Whiney.
I'd just like to say that you are no longer a fuck up. Our friend here has taken the title.
Don't claim the trophy back.
Ayden Roberts
Jeez man, swing wide for turns. Is that a damned utility pole?
Aiden Russell
>sitting near live powerlines
Hell even exiting the truck should have been out of the question.
You are a fuck up.
Luke Howard
>Swing >Wide >Its a >Fucking >Trailer
Bentley Rivera
Not even fired Yeah it happened during my "training phase" so its not too bad on my record according to the lady i reported it too. Lines ironically were fine. >you know nothing jon snow.
Christian Price
Sometimes I have to go through these neighborhoods with real low powerlines, and it always sketches me out when I'm in the 40' trailer since my bay trailer is only like 11'6". Utility poles and buildings are the two main things I don't want to take out. Cars, signs, and bushes are fine.
Colton Brooks
Nigga I think that's reported on your DAC all the same.
Jack Evans
Meh one "i hit a pole" itll go away eventually
Jonathan Russell
Rough dude. How long have you been driving for fellow swifty?
Oliver Lopez
Well that was quick. Whiney you gotta slow yo boy down there. He's making us all look too good.
Henry Morris
>Dat Metal Gear Rex I thought about putting my Zaku II on the dash. Gotta find all his extra hands though…
Nolan Hill
I've got a handful of kits for a zaku gelgoog and an AC-guy along with a slightly more detailed rex but I'm concerned they'll vibrate apart if I put em on the dash.
Jordan Davis

Charles Robinson
It'll come off your CSA in a year. I don't think it works the same for DAC but I could be wrong.
This nigga is running at his own pace, I can't slow him down. You reminded me that I need to buy some dashboard waifus though.
Hunter Peterson
I've given up on Gunpla. It requires too much time and patience, more than I can muster, to turn out really nice. Instead I get higher grade action figures. I've got the Zaku II, Exia Avalanche, Tallgeese, Mercurius, and Vayeate from the Robot Tamashii line, and Vic Viper (Zone of the Enders 2), and Ultra Magnus (Transformers - basically white & silver Optimus Prime recolor) from Revoltech.
Noah Robinson
That's exactly what the rex on my dash came from I finished the tank from metal slug and looked at it and said"nah,this is terrible"and looked at the rex kit and said fuck it and got the mega blog rex for the dash
Jeremiah Cox
faggot
Jack Sanders
How do you keep 'em from bouncing everywhere and flying off the dash?
Logan Butler
Sticky tack on the display base and a Lil on the feet. Rex has started to vibrate off the peg stand but that's only after about 4-5 hours of rough riding
Luke White
150 hours as of yesterday
Evan Parker
Fallout Shelter.
Angel Morales
Crossy Road, Pac-Man 256, Race the Sun, to name a few. I don't like many mobile games, aside from endless runners. I stick to my DS/3DS mostly. Sounds like a plan. I need new stands, but I don't know what brand to get. I got some kind of Action Stand or whatever that all the Gunpla guys recommended, but the peg+slot system that connects the arms for posing wore out within like a week. You disgust me.
Jacob Bell
How???
Brandon Edwards
>how Dunno
>why Cause it seemed like a good idea.
Michael Hughes
And thank god it was a brand new Penske rental truck.
I guess it was some new dude. I just don't understand what the fuck he was trying to do where he jack knifed the thing so bad. And the worst part is those tanks and steps are on the driver's side and he beat the fuck out of them. How do you jack knife it that bad without noticing you are destroying the fuel tank and steps right next to you?!?
Ryder Adams
It happens. Just look at your mirrors and always swing wide.
Easton Smith
Maybe he zoned out or something?
I do it occasionally, but never while doing something delicate. It's more arriving somewhere familiar and realising I don't remember any of the journey bar parking there and threading out of the shitty parking around my house hours ago.
Jeremiah Sanchez
Yeah trust me i know. Thats been my whole attitude toward it. Shit happens, learn from it, keep trucking
Connor Gray
Just be glad it was a pole and not a soccer mom's van full of chilluns
>get ahold of shop >promise to get the estimate out by the end of the day Gdi. Time for anime I guess
Robert Cruz
I didn't even talk to dude. I'm sure he was trying to reverse out of somewhere and did something retarded. It's like fucking women driving though.
Dominic Bailey

Dont you put that jojo on me ricky bobby
Henry Perez
You used up all your luck. Do you get to find out the cost of damage you caused? I'm sure it isnt going to be cheap.
Jeremiah Ramirez
Dont really come to these threads but i have a question for you trucker fags.
Whos going to fix and maintain truck emergencies when they finally become self driving? What if a tire pops or something goes bad? How will the truck calculate turn radius?
Ethan Edwards
Fug
Grayson Gutierrez
get your shocks changed too
Sebastian Butler
>best in class
Wew lad shit does not happen you can either drive or you can't plain and simple retard
Nathan Thompson
Better question is what we will do when the self driving trucks become sentient and angry? Just imagine HAL, but with a bunch of trucker friends
Doesn't look like its popped yet, what's he problem?
Jaxon Jackson
>And we'll all laugh when you completely total a new ride. Shit does happen. I've driven for 10 years with no tickets/accidents. >thats why they're called accidents.

Nah just suck my dick already
William Thompson
haha, you are a right faggot.
You should have stopped way before even knocking the fuck outta that pole.
a disgrace to the industry
Jordan Cruz
>I've driven for 10 years with no tickets/accidents. Is that why you obliterated that utility pole? because you know how to drive? you didnt even look at what the trailer was doing.
