bruhs I just took the best shit of my life at this Pilot. It's like it weighed 20 pounds but didn't make any noise and just came loose like it just fell out by force of gravity. I didn't even need to wipe that's how clean it was.

You need to lay off the rollerdogs and subway.

doge is sleep

no you

Did so much cocaine last weekend felt like my nose was going to fall off

Man, a trucker pupper sounds great. But I can hardly keep care of myself, let alone another living thing in my truck.

10 hours is too long.

Start off small. Just get a truck coyote or truck bobcat and eventually work your way up.

>tfw no K200 house.

If I'm doing that, might as well go big or go home.

55mph is too slow

Yup

These old 8100s are trash but at least they got some power

Forgot pic

How many mpg does it get?

Zoz. Imagine the scene of an angry supertrucker hopping up on your step for a confrontation over a parking spot, only to come face to face with a seven foot long, 160 pound, territorial predator poking it's head out the open window.

What model year is that relic?

It's been an unusual week. My gf got sent to a psychward 4 hours away and I been sleeping in a ditch and following the warped tour around in between her every other day one hour visits.

Wow what a nice blog post
Thanks for sharing

This feels like stale copypasta.

Anyone know what happened to allie knight? She has gone full AWOL.

EF? That you boi?

No one cares desu

Hey man I just wanted to let you know that your comment really hurt me. Allie Knight has been the apex of /tfg/ discussion for several months now and it's obvious that her absence is causing a disruption in our morale. even though many of us did not like her, there was a certain je ne sais quoi to her presence that put us at ease and made the melancholy of truck driving just slightly more bearable. so please don't go around saying "no one cares" when it isn't true.

>Apex of discussion

Found the butthurt spammer. Fuck off before you get these threads banned from Veeky Forums.

Zoz. Highly accurate.

Sorry to hear it. Why the psyche ward? She couldn't handle the height constraints of the flat top sleeper any more?

why can't truckers stay in the right lane?

was stuck behind two tankers for a hour yesterday. averaging 55mph in a 70mph zone. because they couldn't maintain speed up the constant rolling hills, and they were taking both east bound lanes on the interstate.

Because you didn't help block the speed governor mandate.

>Implying anywhere else in the world is even remotely interesting or important enough to gather data on

K Yurofag.

K ignorant fellow american. Sorry you don't know how to control a vehicle during and emergency situation without incresing the risk.

It takes some getting used to. Jacknife 90 with a loaded trailer and you can crack crossbeams or break tire breads on top of rubbing the tires bald, or if you're running recaps, tear the tread right off. That being said, there's nothing easier to back than a 48' spread axle. No tailswing and being able to see over the trailer = no worries. A front lift or dump axle lets you do some crazy shit.

Never had to slide an axle or have a load shifted. With a 10'6" spread axle the trailer axles have their full 20,000lb weight limit. When in doubt, just center the load behind the trailer center and use that comfy 6000lb buffer. Also, if you're running partials, you can load a 20' 20,000lb load and have the whole rest of the trailer to throw on another 20,000lbs+ of freight. Put 20k to the back of a tandem and you'll never get it legal.

It happens literally anywhere trucks and cars share a road. A truck goes you pass, and a 4-wheeler will throw a shitfit and exaggerate.

I wanted to eat this inside, but a deluge happened on the way inside and my clothes soaked through and I had to take them off and get dry #truckerlife

>I'm too poor to install a dump valve

That being said, I'm still too lazy to alley back into truck stops

It has more to do with structural integrity than a need to weigh 40k lbs over the rear axles. Flats routinely haul most of their weight concentrated on a tiny footprint on the trailer (e.g. a 49k lb master coil)
To accommodate this, modern aluminum flatbed trailers are built with an arch in the frame, which straightens out when the trailer is loaded, which makes it difficult to engineer a full sliding tandem system with enough track to balance such a heavy, concentrated load.

Full steel flatbed trailers still exist, and some do indeed feature sliding tandems, but they're about 5k lbs heavier.

YES. Maybe then they will see the pay is shit.

34 metric years

meh. they will just import moslems to do the job.

He's talking about the USA though and not Eurabia

How ignorant are you? Moslems are already arriving here, they have been for years.

I think ours just get screened better as we dont have some dumb bitch importing them without proper checks.

Ours aren't "imported", they actually immigrate here legally and maintain visas.

We have a quota. They are imports.

The euro ones immigrated legally too. It's just that they weren't screened properly.

And it still needs a complete AC system overhaul, compressor is shot, lines are leaking. Clutch will need to be replaced, as well as the 10 year old tires. It was fun though, been 9 years since I had one, brought back good memories of my youth roasting 2nd gear on the on-ramp

It cleaned up nicely though. The interior is immaculate. The seats have no tears or any kind of wear in them which is saying something for a 25 year old car, my FL has two tears in the seats and it's a 2016

Looks good. I just bought a new to me vehicle the other day.

Sorry, boorly written.

The GMC is 13 years old and needs a brake job along with some other stuff.

The Dakota has basically new brakes and tires, and requires no maintenance that I am aware of.

Turned 23 yesterday

I knew you were an Australian. Your bants are too good for a Canadiacuck.

Why not just flip the switch to lift the rear axle? Is america that behind in terms of technology?

Better question is how weak are USA trailers to not handle the weight of a pivot? My tri axle with 21tonnes on it doesnt experience the problems that I have read ITT. I do it twice a week all year and have yet cause any structural damage. Yeah some more tyre wear happens. But thats about it.

American trailers have a hard time handling 15 tonne on a tandem setup without causing damage.

Why do truckers think they make good money?

Depends. I am a company cuck in Australia and I earnt 120k roobucks, 9 day fortnight, averaged 10hrs a day and home every night with weekends off.

But majority are general freight plebs.

Also, euro-trailers can handle being scrubbed around every single time the truck needs to turn around. Three axles mounted near the midpoint of the trailer means you're always gonna scrub them. They're just designed to take it, and the weight.
Thus, you can haul 4 4 T O N N E S with a two-axle tractor because most of the weight is borne by the trailer.

63 here.

It probably helps a lot too that eurocucks drive so slow

>120kroobuck
Translate that into real currency pls.

I'm doing a lot better now with my current embloyer than I was back when the GMC broke.

With the recession in the oil and gas industry over the past two years, a lot of people either took literal pay cuts, worked less hours, or in my case at the time, got paid less because the well servicing company charged less to try and stay in the good graces of the oil companies, and every daily "job bonus" that was based off the ticket (invoice) revenue went down.

In the past three years, I went from making over 120k a year as a supervisor, down to maybe 70k when the GMC shit the bed, and am now have back up to around 100-110k a year with the new job.

Damn, ya got me, ya wise cunt. I'm literally wearing an Akruba bush hat and drinking a Coopers Extra Strong on the pashio right now.

>120k Aboshekels
What is that, like 37 cheeseburgers?

All my on duty gets logged as either
>driving ends, 15 min drop and hook, off duty for some time, driving resumes
Or
>driving ends, 15 minute loading, sleeper berth for some time, driving resumes
Is that legal? My cumknee says I'm supposed to log everything as it happens but obviously I don't want to waste my hours. I got inspected a couple times but the officers barely even looked at the logs so I don't know if that means I'm good or they just didn't pay enough attention to notice

If you're actually doing work, put it on line 4. Say it takes you 3 hours for a live load. Log the half hour you spent sitting in line and bumping a dock on line 4, then if you sit there with your thumb up your ass the next 2.25 hours throw that on line 1, then drop to line 4 for 15 minutes to inspect/secure/seal the trailer. If anyone asks and insists you were on duty, the bulletproof reply is "how iz i un doody ad magdonals : - D".

I run a shit load of "personal conveyance" company don't care

I made 50k last year for a 22 yo I'm sure I'm in the top 10%

Lol what a shitbox.

Trucks are limited to 55, yes, but cars go way faster. Anyone going below 60MPH in a car on the motorways is considered a danger to themselves and others, and able to be fined if they don't stay in the slow lane.

Is flying on an airplane onduty?

Does anybody here haul gravel/asphalt/aggregate shit? I'm studying these CDL questions and was wondering what a typical day is, aside from being a van-hauling cuck

*what a typical day is like.
Sorry, i'm just fucking out of it

I worked road construction, they seemed to like it. I mean, most of those guys retire doing it. From what I understand, it goes
>show up, pre-trip, drive to hotplant
>haul asphalt to site, dump or be dumped by dump man
>pull forward to clean out site/down the paving line to ensure no remaining asphalt is stuck in belly dump and scrape as needed
>repeat until Foreman tells you to suck his cock and get back to your bull prepping duties
I'm thinking of going back to the same company now that I have my CDL and some otr experience to do just that.

>"Here are some specific activities which are considered to be onduty time: Alltimespent at a plant, shipping / receiving facility, terminal , or other facility of a motor carrier, unless you are in your sleeper berth or have been relieved of all work related responsibilities."
Just a quick Google search is all that's needed.

>real currency
The Queens pound.

I just got loaded at a quarry.
>clock in
>get clipboard with paperwork for loads that day
>grab a donut
>pre-trip
>load up at the elevator

>fuel the truck

Sounds pretty chill. I've been wanting to get my CDL and hopefully haul loads like that. I've been doing patios (im a landscaper) and majority of the time I have to go and get loads of gravel or brick. Probably not the exact same thing as trucking since i'm driving a F450, but it's something that i've been looking into.

Truckers, I really need this answered

I'm stuck in a paycheck to paycheck situation, and I'm trying to save up for a local independent cdl school (I am not interested in company sponsored training if I can avoid it)

I was considering selling my personal vehicle so I can take the cdl school (my relatives will take me to the school, the school has free dorm rooms) then of course I would begin applying for companies for company training with another driver, which I understand they will pay for your bus ticket

So my question is, will selling my personal vehicle bite me in the ass? Will I really need it since I'll be otr for my first year? I understand I can drive the rig back home with most companies, and I could use my family's vehicle for whatever I might need while home

Let me know, if I sell my truck then I can easily afford the down payment required to start school and quit my shit job at the same time
