Why do I get in more trouble with the law in Illinois if I have a CDL than not?
My dad got pulled over for 10 over the limit, had to spent like $340 on a lawyer to drop the charger, or he would have gotten his license suspended.
Something they not telling me, or is this how it is?
No, if you aren't driving a commercial vehicle then you will still get the same tickets as you would without a CDL. But it could get you shitcanned from your job and won't look good when you are applying places.
Sorry, forgot to add. My dad has a CDL, but has not used in 10 years. He got pulled over in a normal car for the first time in a long, long time, and got a very heavy fine because he is a CDL owner?
He dropped his CDL right after.
I dont get it.
Idk, maybe there is some bullshit in IL. That would suck. I know all the fines are different for commercial vehicles compared to cars, like your $100 ticket for doing 65 in a 55 in the car will be lighter than the same charge in a semi truck but you shouldn't get the fat charge even holding a CDL if you are driving a car.
because Illinois is a fucked state. why anyone would live in Illinois over any of the states right next to it is beyond me.
Well most of the states around IL are pretty shitty too. WI isn't too bad or maybe KY but Indiana is a shithole and Iowa is too. Most of the Midwest is awful.
That's why I left and have no desire to go back.
Honestly, I love getting cucked. I will go out of my way to make sure it happens, at home, at work, you name it. NTR IS WHERE I SET THE BAR
Im in St. Louis, cheap smokes and cheap booze. Missouri is ok starting Jan 1 you wont even need a permit to CC anymore. I would be ok living someone with mountains though.

Sure buddy. Why would anyone lie on the internet?
Still hoping for answers, if anyone knows. Wish I would have tried the mystery ones before I quit, but was too tired on the last day to remember.
Short story with happy ending:
>Some fucknut crashed on the I-5N just south of Tacoma, WA
>Whole freeway was shutdown for 3 hours.
>Averaged 1km/h during that time.
>Crash cleared, scales closed because late
Fortunately customs took pity on me and pushed me through in 30 seconds.
>Opened trailer doors in parking area before border
>Pull up, shut down, hand passport over
>CBSA guy looks back at open trailer doors
>Empty?
>"Yep"
>Buy anything?
>"Nope"
>Have a good night.
>pull forward, close doors
>120km/h all the way back to the yard
>Arrive at midnight
>Started at 5:30 that morning
I passed that northbound about 9am. Shit looked gnarly.
>show up at safeway in auburn
>bunch of people checking in late due to snoqualmie getting shutdown last night
>guy whinging and moaning about how much time he's lost, and how he needs to get somewhere south of portland by the afternoon or his weekend is fucked

Think of it as 3 transmissions in one:
A normal 5 speed (lever)
A low-high box (front flappy toggle)
A direct-overdrive box (red thumb toggle)
The 5 speed transmission is like an old wide-ratio Borg Warner or Muncie transmission, with their extra-low first gear.
The low-high box acts as a transfer case in a 4 wheel drive pickup would, except instead of engaging a front axle, it just does reduction and direct. Now you have a transmission with 9 usable forward gears (L in high range would be somewhere between 3 and 4 in low range) plus a reverse.
Now add in the direct-overdrive box. It does what you might think it does, and adds another 2-speed box to the 9-speed transmission. 4 more usable forward gears, turning it into a 13 speed box, with reverse.
Now, take this with a grain of salt because I've never really had much to do with Roadrangers. The last big thing I drove was a clapped out IHC Westcoaster with a twin stick 5+3.
Surely you can contest that.
Any XPO/YRC drivers here?
How2 get rid of shitty Pepsi restrictions on iPhone?
Veeky Forums isn't blocked at least
They give us an iPhone and tell us it's $600 if we break it or lose it. No app store, no texting (although I can receive texts and read them in the window on the lock screen), can't even do the fingerprint lock, can't download GPS to find stops. Wtf?
I would rather just have the $50 Nokia brick with the battery that lasts a month.
Oh, and they claim the iPhone will eventually replace our handheld computers. They say probably Q3 by next year which really means spring of 2019.
I better be able to contest it, I bet the lazy asses at my home terminal didn't even bother to read the entire report. It clearly has N/N marked for Violation/Citation.
If they let you take it home you can try and jailbreak it. It will remove all the Pepsi apps though, they had the same shit when I worked at Lowes.
>>new Eminems on deck ready to get rekt
ayyy
Im not sure if im impressed or disgusted.
Have you transcended the piss bottle?
Everybody on board with autonomous trucking?
That's what I think I will do. Because the sales program and shit isn't even on there, we still use the handheld computer for everything else.
But when they eventually switch to the iPhone as our handheld, I need to come up with an excuse for them to reinstall everything. Or maybe I could save a backup of the Pepsi format on my computer before trying to wipe it to factory new stats.
Impressive. My greatest accomplishment was shitting in a Pringles can.
Or you could not be a fucking vile leech and use your own phone to text and browse the internet.
No. Robots are fags.
Low gear stick position with the high range selector up is basically fourth gear, but in the high range, making a shift into fifth easier depending on what you're dealing with for load, traffic etc. That same setup with the splitter forward is like 4.5th gear.
>company phone locked down so idiots dont get in trouble with it.
so management gave you a phone that only works as a phone, and a Veeky Forums terminal? I always used google maps in safari on my iphone.
>it's $600 if we break it or lose it.
do you have a locker at work? chuck it in there until you quit and have to give it back
pic not related
Someone found a good pic of winey.
If that's ever me I'm just going to an hero I won't be able to face anyone again
How can anyone even fuck up that badly?
Sick grind Swifty
Unfortunately, pepsi's a negro.
He has no concept of "other people's property".

So the cascadia did what cascadias do and took a shit on me again. Company is sending a shop guy to pick me up and headed back to the office for another truck. Don't know what yet but it'll be
Another cascadia ISX with 10spd
379 C15 13spd
Coronado D60 10spd
Fingers crossed for not a cascadia.
I used to collect pictures of all the illiteracy in this industry. Lost them all long ago.

How much of a faggot do I look like for wearing a company hat during my training phase?
I'd there supposed to be a decimal there or does that say over 3 million?
Yes.
Safari and Veeky Forums actually work but I would like texting since I text my bosses more than I call them.
I told the big boss I was gonna just leave the thing in my car and he was offended. And using the maps on Safari is an option but not as easy. It would be nice if I could download apps tho and that way I could burn through 20GB of Pepsi data streaming music and porn.
Daily reminder that rollerdogs are made from shitcanned truckers, dead lot lizards, and roadkill for flavour.
I didn't see a single lot lizard in 13 days. Are they real?
Depends on if it's for your company or not.
>show up for orientation wearing a cool looking vintage c.r. England t shirt
>Instructors are amused, laugh a little, tell me it's a cool shirt and then tell me never wear it again or I'll probably get into trouble
>he was offended
tell him its not worth carrying if its not more useful, like with the texting and gps, and whatever else you need.

379 or bust.
Long time running. At my last place of employment there were several older units with over three million miles.
Yes, and in between sessions they wash their cooches out with puddles of truck stop rain water.
Just think, if you were making that sweet, sweet, cpm, you could afford to replace that busted ass mirror.
Fuck that, if they are going to charge me $600 for it, I'm gonna at least try and fuck around with it. My name was on the box.

>The automatic gate arm came down in his truck and broke itself
Well, I'm fucking retarded. There WAS a violation on that report for the tandems being too far back for California. But at least there wasn't a citation.
I fucking hate that shit. One time the automatic shutter broke where I work, and we had to literally undo half the day's work.
Reminds me of my doc's office. He has this sign on the wall that says something like "Attitude Adjustments 9:15am-3:15pm" which are the business hours at the practice.
>How do I shot web?
Surely there is a 48 state guide available to check out the different local regulations, and thus made adjustments before hand, scalawag?
Fuck
What the FUCK are you doing outside your designated lanes???
Well I moved the tandems back a bit too far. I didn't read closely enough to see it said 40' mark at the rear axle, so it was 40' at the center of the tandems.
Bottom guy looks quite happy
Wait... Why the fuck did they even give you a phone? Don't you have your own, or do you just use two now?
I'm with the other dude. If they're going to charge you $600, either give it back or lock it up somewhere safe. The thing doesn't even work for important shit. Use your own phone.
>tandems being too far back for California
They actually care? I had them back lots of times - once only 3 ft from all the way back - and never had a problem. Frequently drove all the way from Bakersfield to Vancouver like that. All of those times I was above 33,000 on the trailer though. Potatoes so heavy.
I mean technically we should be provided phones because we work on the road and need to call customers and bosses a bunch. They used to have these shitty flip phones and charged like $150 if you lost those. I was asking for one awhile back so I didn't have to keep breaking my iPhone but 3 years later and they never got around to it.
I mean once they get the software on the iPhones to replace the handheld computers it will be straight but that is going to be at least a year so right now we have an overpriced and fragile brick phone.
Salesmen and management all have iPad Minis and they have had iPhones for awhile. But management actually gets iPhones that have an app store and shit. I guess the one good thing I can use the work phone for is calling customers because a lot of them won't answer the Chicago area code when I call their cell and other customers I give my number if they are wondering where their delivery is or some shit and that way they won't be calling my personal phone when I'm on vacation or something.
You probably didn't have "Swift" on the side of your truck.
Yeah, my company used to pay our cell phone bills, then they just got us a bunch of those Handheld devices with the scanner and internet and all that shit. Still prefer to use my own phone. Doesn't matter if I have to pay for it, that's what it's for, and it's MY phone. It works like it's supposed to, and isn't tracked.
>that way they won't be calling my personal phone when I'm on vacation or something.
This is definitely a risk. I just ignore any number that isn't in my contacts, or doesn't leave a message/text. In closing, Fuck iPhones.
True. Glorious unbranded white trailer. Invisible to cops like a camry or corolla.
Our handhelds have a phone feature and a bunch of shit but none of it is turned on
Probably for the better. The call quality is shit and it feels like holding a fridge to the side of your head.
Why the fuck is the DEF tank on the passenger side
It looks better that way.
Why ate Tootsie Roll piggy banks still exactly just as cool as when I was 5?
>There are people on this earth, perhaps even on this very board, who have never experienced the joy if dropping change into their Tootsie Roll piggy bank
Been doing a Maine to Kansas run. Heading back to Minnesota atm. Jumped over into Nebraska city for this gym. Bunk bunny is impressed with my mediocre lifts.. feels good brah
So lot lizards DO exist
Well, yeah. What do you think rollerdogs are made from?
Sadness?
You probably like them because they come filled with candy, you fat fuck.
Jk, that's the reason I love them.
YOu've never seen them? They're more common around holidays when people get abandoned by dispatch 2000km from home for a day or two.
Equal parts sadness, lot lizards, and truckers that hit things.
I destroyed that candy I won't lie for a minute
Only been trucking 2 weeks senpai
Protip: If everyone else parks tail-in, they're much less likely to knock on your door and wake you up if you park nose-in. Just don't park nose-in in a spot you can't back straight out of.
Noted.
>tfw no W* B train to drive
just fuck my shit up family
Isn't that the ugly sloot you were banging back in your plywood cuckshed?
>>driven by the best
>implying
Why don't they just all get arrested? My trainer says even if you're that desperate, to still not do it because you'll probably just get stung. Doesn't DPS do stings to catch the hookers too?
At least they're honest. lol jk
Too many to arrest them all, loopholes, and most people either use them or don't care enough to do anything about it. Not like they keep knocking every few minutes if you say no.
>ugly.
Yes it's the girl that got me banned for a week from posting cuckshed pics.
I've been driving 6 months and haven't seen any but I haven't been looking for them either. But I don't doubt they exist in some places. After seeing and smelling other truckers out there though it's kind of hard to believe there are women out there that would get in the same truck with them for any price.
This one isn't ugly, I like it. You posted one awhile back that was a dog lol
>could be worse
Oh ur talking about my 4 year ex. Yes I agree. Such a shame she sentenced me to a life of 105 lb blonde hair blue eyed 21 year olds that love road trips
when your driver so fat, you need another axle to hold his seat up
That belt deserves a commendation.
Someone had a bad day.
What kind of /tv/ do you lads watch on the road? Post your setup. I keep it simple.
Protip 2: Drop a moist paper towel on the step of your truck.
The departing recreational reptile will generally wipe their nasty cootchie out as she steps down and drop it on said step. Other lizards will note the refuse, and not bug you.
