Truckerfag Thread- /tfg/

Its good. Take it up.

What did he mean by this?

Don't get your licence via swift, werner etc.

Don't be an indentured servant over a paltry $5k in an industry where you can net that in a week if you aren't retarded.

Fucking hate those bastards

We all know your dad walked out on you and your mom years ago. Why lie about it?

...

Keep responding to bait, that'll show him

>Autismus Primefag already wasting valuable posts with fat hipster nonsense

Fuck prime why are you so fucken slow. I'm slow too but I can pass Schneider and Swift if I'm feeling my oats. Werner can easily take me, that's how slow I am. But fucking prime-fags are unbearable. You shiny faggots are so slow.

You think I'm baiting? You absolute morons don't understand that by trucks posting up on sides of roads you just make the city look like a shithole place and the street like a designated sleep spot

If you retards want to sleep go to a fucking rest stop, not on the side of this god damn street

You've crammed a lot of talk about faggots and being taken into a few sentences. Is there something you'd like to reveal about yourself?

It's literally illegal to keep driving to the next rest stop when you're out of hours.

>not understanding it's illegal to not park your fucking bus on the side of a rad

pretty sure I have the actual car here and you're driving a bus l0l

it's also illegal to park on the side of a street where you're not supposed to lol so find something else bud or enjoy those fines ;)

So they are towing while the driver is asleep in the truck.

>Trying to troll a trucker themed imageboard on the internet

What an absolutely pathetic fucking loser you must be in your personal life, to be spending your time on something so meaningless and trivial.

funny story about roadrunner

I was supposed to pick up one of their loads from one of their warehouses, they told me they'd call me when the trailer was done even though it was already supposed to be done.. told me it wouldnt be too long and they'd call me.

so they said they'd call me soon starting at 6PM... so time passes and its 2 AM the next day, so I storm in there pretty pissed and its obviously been ready for a while and they didnt call even though they had my number

a month passes by and I get a phone call from a random number in the middle of the night and its Roadrunner telling me my trailer from a month ago is ready

fuck roadrunner

SLEEP IN LOT

Its a driver bored outta his mind waiting for the dock light to go green.

>trolling
I'm not "trolling" you retarded aut, get off Veeky Forums more. This is a thread about trucks, I'm talking about motherfucking trucks.

They rarely do that, but after I called and came back and saw them ticket it then taking apart the truck and towing it I was dying. He probably left it or some shit or was a repeat offender

Why take it apart? They just tow them together here in the land of the poisonous animals.
Remove drive shaft, lift the steers off the ground and away they go.

k busrider.

It was a giant semi. They had to take off the trailer separately to haul it.

Stop feeding trolls, you stupid fucking retards.

what the FUCK do I do? I like him but I'm just not gay enough for a relationship with a dude I don't think, like when I watch gay porn I feel sick.

Still no reason, They tow doubles the same way.

Do what????

If you had sex with him then you are def bi.

Although most would say you are without a doubt gay.

>I'm just not gay enough for a relationship with a dude I don't think, like when I watch gay porn I feel sick.
But you will gladly cop a dick in the ass.

Better than mine.

I really want to call off work today.

K Mohammed. Get back in your cabover and deliver your illegal immigrants

>tfw shoulda called out
I never have routes on Monday since it's light so I normally run around for paperwork and maybe a hot shot. But today I actually have a route and my tractor is missing...

You may be bi. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, regardless of whoever tells you. If you're really happy with him, and the sex is that good, go for it.

Dubs confirms

And how the fuck do they give like 1/3 of the drivers the day off on the same day?

>forgotten in the OP
OH THE HUMANITY

I can't remember all you fags and the old one was on Page 10

At least you don't have to drive 700 miles today with no radio and no cruise

All I do is copy the list of names from the last thread, omit myself and OPf then use search on all of them to find relevant bantz

>AMA
Why should I not add 'AMA' to my filtered text?

Went to that Ryder interview, recruiter of course lied. The hiring manager said they'll have the "home nightly" position set up after three months, but in the mean time you run San Antonio to Laredo but live in a motel or drive teams. Biggest kicker is, 32cpm.

Back to the job boards.

Go be gay somewhere else, you Godless heathen

but not that shit.

its not a sports car or anything. modern auto is simply better. far better.

I don't think their government trusts them with the responsibility of weapons grade assault trucks. That's why they have autos limited at 55mph. Probably desperately trying to develop self driving trucks as we speak.

>boomer
>piles of crap
Come on now. You can do better buddy.

Well, you can buy a "euro" brand truck with decent engine and gearbox.

Just I don't think they are stuck in euro cause u know, they are shit cunts.

>pic related
Can get it with ISX Cummins and Road Ranger.

56 mph actually. And self driving trucks are far more suited to the US because their roads are absolutely moron proof. Euro roads would completely overburden an AI.

Looks really weird though with the nose glued to the cabover cabin. And that's one of the better longnose conversions. The last Scania longnoses were probably the most infamously ugly examples.

The Volvos on the other hand look rather decent to me, and it seems from my point of view like they've actually been using the same nose, doors and windshield in Europe and in the US.

4900EX, is that you?
>can europoors even offroad only?

/tfg/ I am a 4 wheeler but I always go out of my way to make it easy for truckers

Don't think all of us 4 wheelers are bad, some of us actually try

no, i am not this 4900ex.

The english could offroad.

Does it have a governor? You don't need no cruise control. Just drop a brick on it.

And I haven't had a working radio in my truck for months. But I just throw one earbud in and get my sports talk with the TuneIn app. Best thing about finally getting those iPhones- the unlimited data so I can stream shit 24/7. I don't even hook the phone up to my wifi at home.

SCAMMELL MENTIONED

Those glorious reduction hubs.

What do you guys think of those companies that are willing to put you through their own training program in return for a 2 year contract?
I already have my CDL so I won't be in debt or anything. Just need someone to give me a break.

Too late.

Nah, if I throw a brick on this bitch I'll end up going 95. It sure can run, I'll give it that

And idk how you wear earbuds that long. I've been doing that today and it kinda hurts a bit, especially going up and down hills

AMA this dudes more of a fruit than primefaggot

>2 years

Goddamn they're getting bolder

Yeah I wear the Apple earbuds most of the time because they don't really block noise but I have to adjust them a bunch. I would wear better ones that actually stay in but I don't want to block outside noise like when I'm changing lanes into a car I don't see and they lay on the horn.

MIGHT IS RIGHT

BITCH, MOVE

Eyyyyyy My drive is too fucked up to park the truck on

of course they can
youtube.com/watch?v=7P8yGxTvG8k

why the fuck are their logs toothpick-tier? do they not have big trees there?

if you use them for pellets/firewood it's much more profitable to harvest early

yeah, I can see that. less milling to do.
still, it seems as if most of their log trucks there are hauling those little logs, and it throws me off compared to american log loads

my my gay male friend with benefits

he cute though?

well trees need a extremely long time to grow that big
since we don't have such vast forests as north america does, we can't just cut down wild trees or there wouldn't be anymore left real quick
and no one wants to wait a hundred years for a return on their investment when planting new ones
we also use much less lumber in construction and most of the wood will be chipped to pellets for heating

here's a pic of one with larger ones, but they are about as large as they get, don't expect any giant redwoods
btw he got pulled over for being 16 tonnes overloaded

Europe has been civilised for thousands of years. We don't have many old-growth forests left. We cut them all down to turn them into wooden ships.

America has only been exploited for 300 years, tops, and has shittons of old-growth forest.
It's still not civillised, though. Resolve your civil war first.

Figure you fags would be the most appropriate people to ask. I'm moving at the end of the month and plan on taking my Focus packed full of my shit. This is my route and I was HOPING to be able to pull it off without stopping for a hotel since I'd have to either bring all of my shit into my room and repack or risk having it stolen ($1k computer, $600 guitar, $350 amp, $2k or so in guns, probably $1k in anniemay figures) so I'd rather not. Any tips? When would be a good time to leave if I wanted to avoid major traffic in the Chicago and Cleavelend area. Also would I be better off leaving on the weekend or Monday?

Just stop at a motel. Leave all of your stuff in the car. Don't worry. And make sure you tell us which motel you stop at.

And weekend will be better. I do the same shit driving back and forth to Chicago. Close to 24hrs straight thru so I make sure I go through Atlanta and Nashville at good times.

9pm to 5am is always safe, but if you have to do it during the day, try and go through Chicago between like 9:30am and 1pm. Sunday would be the best and you wouldn't have to worry about rush hour.

Also for those long drives, I'm always on the road for at least a full night. I like to plan it so the last few hours of the drive are in the morning. So when I do my drive from Chicago to Miami, I leave around 9am or 10am, morning rush hour is done, I go thru ATL about 10pm at night, then when I'm starting to get tired after 18-20 hours of driving, the sun starts coming up and gives me a second wind. And that way I get into South Florida after AM rush hour too.

Here's a tip: nobody wants to steal your shitty garbage. That never happens. Americans are fucking paranoid. Get any old lock, put it on the truck and get the insurance because you'll be more likely to destroy everything you own in a wreck because you 4 wheelers fucking suck at driving rental trucks.

>war flashbacks to getting stuck behind rental penske durastars hogging the fucking island for over an hour

Did a mini road trip and saw a trucks tire blow out on the way
Are those things expected to blow out? Is that why there are so many wheels? I always see scraps of rubber on the shoulders of these interstates and I was wondering if blowing out a tire is nbd

oh no, blowouts are a pretty big fuckin problem. the reason there's so many tires is weight distribution. blowouts just happen semi-often because the more tires you have and the more you drive, the more likely your number will come up.

sometimes I'll intentionally blow one out just to piss off a tailgater

Also truck tires are 100psi+ while car tires are 30-40psi, so it's a bit different when they blow. And the shit ton of rubber on them compared to car tires.

>put it on the truck
>stated I'm taking my car
Lrn2read
Thanks.

Just don't forget to tell us when and where you stop so I can steal your Mexican Strat and anime figures and burn em all.

Seriously tho, remember that you don't need to get a motel, especially if you are by yourself. If you get too tired and need to stop, just park in a rest area or truck stop for a couple hours and take a nap.
