Truckerfag Thread - /TFG/

The people in my trucking class that knew how to drive manual carried over their bad habits to trucking and it took them a bit longer to learn actually. So you should be fine.

>Europeans transporting a digger

>Americans transporting the same digger

What the hell is your fucking problem?

nah nigga it's easy as fuck. don't let the numbers scare you because that isn't how it works mentally once you get the hang of it. you literally wont think about it

>how rednecks move heavy equipment

crie moar

oh wow this is a thing

Oh, we do that in Europe. And by "we do that" I mean I've never seen one of these before.

We usually transport smaller equipment like this, behind one of the dump trucks needed anyway.

Can get a written permit in US withba paper test. Need to jist then take dricong test in a truck.

...

i dont get it

I'd like to see what sort of weight is over those drives.

>parking up in front of a trailer for a photo opportunity

>quoting the wrong previous bread

Absolutely haram

The best part is that someone tried to revolt and created another TFG (non allie knight edition obviously) after I created this one. It was gaining some traction too but the spirit of Allie simply wont be denied and now this one is taking the lead again

the course I took was only two weeks long, but run by two guys that both had over 2.5 million miles of experience. the instructor is what's important. I went into it with a slight idea what I was doing but my driving partner had never driven a manual before, and had never pulled or backed a trailer before. he was in his 40s and stubborn as hell but finally got it and did pretty well on his test.

I don't know what country that is, but the image was from an Irish website and legislation is pretty homologated across the EU and here in Germany it's 20,900 lbs per axle and 41,800 lbs on an axle pair if the drive axle(s) within is/are double wheeled and the two axles are at least 50 inches apart which I guess they are because otherwise the rating would get reduced significantly.

I'm confused. Which thread do I blogpost in?

What Whiney said is true. A lot of people who have never driven a manual car will pick it up faster than people who know how to manuél in a 5spd.

If you aren't retarded, it's easy enough. One of those thing where you will be able to drive the truck within a couple hrs but it takes weeks or months to really perfect.

The one without the spam in the OP.

Just fucking kiss coffee girl already, before she thinks you're not interested romantically.

THIS

Yeah I need to. Idk we don't get to chill a ton when neither of us is working. I might be over there tonight since she will be alone there from like 8pm to 11pm. Just hard to find a good time when we are over there. But tomorrow we are supposed to hang out and that will be the third time we actually chill when neither of us is working.

>goddamn it feels good to spend weekends at home

>How heavy equipment moves heavy equipment

Here's the real thread

Hills plus shitty roads that can't handle a lot of weight plus we have to travel 5x the distance with that load.

>No Ally Knight
No thank you.

lol

HAHAHAHAHAHAYAYAHAHAHAHAHA

BRO/O/S. IT HAPPENED. THE NAYSAYERS WERE RIGHT. I CRASHED LOL

What did you hit?

Oh dang. Scrape a concrete barrier?

Stop bumping this shit thread. Here's the actual thread.

Was M&Ms along with you?

Then why do they still do the same in Australia? Except it would have been on an expandable deck.

Can you fuck off? We'll post in whatever thread we want.

why dont you just make an allie thread

I'm going to post in this thread now.

In spirit.

Because one doesn't simply replace the muffler without giving her the berries.

...

>one doesn't simply replace the muffler

who needs a muffler

Be honest. Do you guys ever stroll through a neighborhood, see a no jake brake sign, and then just say fuck it and let em have it anyways?

I run the jakes a lot through towns with retarder restrictions. Legal with a muffler.

See

...

Doesn't matter with mine. It just whines a bit louder.

Sounds good. You should keep it that way.

Are you actually going to go with a Volvo?

Depends.

The one on the Cummins in the Genworth I currently drive is breddy quiet, so sometimes I will.

My old Peterbild with a Cat was too far too loud and rippy sounding for stealth jakeing though.

Looks totaled.

I would if I could, and so should everyone. If you want shit trucked in, you need to put up with the noise.

Only around rich people. 92' fraightshaker with a C12. My song is a good one

Quick rundown

>arrive at drop yard
>see a trailer parked perpendicular to all the others
>hit it anyway

I barely caught the last two inches of with the tip of my nose. But it made enough of a mark on my tractor I had to fill out an accident report. They just told me not to do that again lel.

Who was the dude saving all my cocky posts for his collage. You can start working on your art project now.

There's a reason we put stores in different places than our houses. You loudly ship the crap to the stores, we quietly drive to the stores to pick it up. You wanna have trucks going by your own house constantly riling up the place with their jake brake when you're on a week off?

I guess while im in confession here i should say I ran over and destroyed a ladder at the last shipper, and I ran over the chalks two shippers before that kekkkk

I love this job

What the fuck do a million wheels and a thousand feet wheelbase have to do with the distance you're travelling or the hills? The engine power is basically the same in European and American trucks, and they can both run all day long.

You say that, yet stores are often built in the middle of towns for passing trade.

Jfc no. My freightliner needs an inframe and it seems a little silly doing a $13000 repair on an $18000 truck.

And this somehow gives you the privilege of running the jake brake in town? Does your truck not have regular brakes for the last five miles? Should cars be fitted with jake brakes, too, so that they don't have to wear down their regular brakes anymore?

This guy is funny

I liked her shake it off video. Fapped immensely

I backed into a Schneider trailer with my truck in Houston because a bunch of Mexican four wheelers were honking for me to move my ass. Filed a report and like two months later my fleet manager called

>Hey user remember when you wrecked your truck? Me neither but I need to have you come in the terminal for a safety course
>Get to terminal expecting an all day lecture
>Guy comes out, "you see that spot user? That's a pretty tight back. Now back in there and don't run over anything
>I do it
>"Good job driver, now get rolling

Why do you townies have the privilege of demanding truckers follow your whims?

If you want quiet, life in the countryside.

Kek. What can u do

I'm hoping I don't get asked to do anything special. But who knows. I just hope my dispatch doesn't cut my miles. I'm at like 3,000 a week rn. I wanna stay his sweetheart.

Hey does anyone know if new straps stretch out a bit at first? I keep having to tighten them. I just retightened about half of these and I only drove an hour through NE. I'm thinking there is a break in period maybe?

Because trucking is just another job in a sea of jobs and not the second coming of Christ.

r8 muh oc m8s

Without the transport industry, you'd fucking starve.

And without the construction industry I'd live in a cave, but it doesn't give them the right to make more noise than necessary, especially on weekends or in the middle of the god damn night.

Ehh, we need moar than just that one post
>tfw one of those was a (You) for me

Lel without the trucks, maybe. Without you or me, he would have some Somali immigrant delivering his shit 3 days late because the two other drivers who were supposed to deliver it got in fatal accidents and are in jail with a manslaughter charge.

A+++

146%

See me afder glass :DDDD

Whoops. See:

Sexy

I am proud of this young man for stepping up to the plate like a real man.

Without me, he just plain wouldn't get shit. I don't even truck, I just load food onto delivery vans.

The Somalis would load the trucks too if you gave them enough hours of low, low pay. They would fuck that up too but it would probably get done eventually.

So user might still get some of his food.

Post the link

As long as you're reasonably effective they don't really give a damn. They just want you feel bad for an hour.

Now otoh if you're a loser who needs his hand held for every little evolution you best be polishing that resume.

its on her website, look it up yourself lol

a chick driving a big rig just makes me diamonds

i got you farn

Your time will come if you keep running over and into stuff.

200% Haram.

I was legit being nice but FINE

I doubt it'd be edible by the time it got there. The current crop of english, nepalese, jamaican, and african people I work with are just about getting by.
Mostly.

Nylon straps don't stretch much. You just don't have enough dirt in the winched section to keep it from slipping over itself.

Gross

Lel it's funny when you work with them. I notice it a lot with Haitian people and lots of islanders and other Africans are the same. It's not just a language barrier thing, they are just stupid. And not like book smarts, it's not because they didn't have good schooling as a kid. Tons of them are just really slow and borderline retarded.

i know this whole allie knight thing is a meme but imma legit nut to this right now

Our africans are pretty smart, because Empire. They're mostly Nigerian, so the only issue is that they take football REALLY seriously.

The main problem is the fucking stupid locals. For centuries, they were only good for bashing up root vegetables for animal feed. Now they're forced into technical stuff that requires thought, and genetics has not caught up yet.

gysot bruh

Maybe your problem is that you're getting them from slave populations, who were sold by their countrymen rather than being the ones doing the selling?

Oh, I thought you were referring to the cucksaic maker. Withdrawn.

T. Normie, can still fap to straight porn and lesbians.

When you get to my age you fap to whatever makes you hard. Could be a lion eating a deer, could be a granny storing things in her gaping vag, could be a trucker chick singing a pop song.

Idk, the rest of them still left in Africa don't seem to be doing so well.

This furfag parked next to me apparently doesn't like scalies. That's like hating your own family.
