Truckerfag thread - /TFG/

We can see why you are a trucker.

>this annoying faggot is such an attention whore
>I better give him lots of attention, that'll show him

Aren't you theoretically white? Why do you talk like a nigger?

Feed me. I am but a humble shitposter harvesting my (you)'s

This slumlord doesn't have to work anymore due to smart investing.

Go suck on daddys titties for some more of his milk to sustain you.

I have my DZ in Ontario. Am I fucking doomed to working 10+ hours a day? I didn't sign up for that shit. Why is this necessary? Every job I look at expects me to work ridiculous hours. If it was 4 days a week with those hours I wouldn't say a word, but it's Mon-Friday.

Ppl on welfare don't have to work anymore either. So don't really see your point here ahahahahah

>EF on a shitposting spree again
>Still gets 9001 (You)s
Some things never change.

>DZ
>Class 3/B everywhere else

Well, most bodyjob driving work is vocational in nature, and generally go for longer hours than townie minimum wage jobs.

And, really, that one extra day a week beyond what you consider your maximum is a deal breaker? Two days off a week isn't enough?

Veeky Forums. Veeky Forums never changes.

Cool bike. Do you take it with you while on the job?

No.
I will when I get my new truck next year

>but tfag, you can't fit 101 linear feet of loads on a 48' trailer
Hold my beer.

I have no idea what you just said. I also have my BZ. I just don't want to be working all the fucking time, is that so much to ask? 8 hours to me is completely reasonable.

You rly making my ltl dick hard.

M8 a 10 hour day is a short day for me. Maybe this isn't your kind of work.

Ppl on welfare dont earn 6k/week with 4k/week only needed for loan repayments and 2k/week to my pocket.

I dont see ypur point there either, but you are a dumb trucker who lacks critical thinking skills. Bahahahahaha

How is this legal in the first world. I don't fucking get it.

If the little baby wants to sit in his comfy air conditioned cubicle for 40 hours a week, feel free. Some of us are men, and men work. What's third world tier is that we can't work more than 70 hours a week.

>I have no idea what you just said
>Please be patient, I have autism
Fixed that for you.

The first part of ny post was an explanation that the kind of jobs that require you to have a DZ license generally require you to put in longer hours than a shitty minimum wage job flipping burgers at A&W or greeting customers at the door of the local Wal-Mart, as they don't have multiple shifts to man that equipment.

The second part of my post was alluding to the fact that the idea of working five days a week, tenish hours a day is isn't considered a long stretch by anyone on this board considering most of the guys here drive for eleven hours a day and can be out on the road for three plus weeks at a time.

If you think that 40 hours a week is the absolute limit for working, maybe you aren't cut out for this kind of industry.

Nah, thankfully it was just a warning

^ is not me, I shitpost on my trip. Top kek though.
I planned to leave it dead with the last thread. I don't need to user to shitpost, I assure you

>be me
>get up at 6am this morning to be in the jumpseat coming through terminal security in dallas
>wife says forever alone fat Mexican has been trying to "holler at her" when she rolls in.
>I'm usually asleep when we roll in. We usually get there 3 or 4 am.
>top kek when fatties face gets happy to see her pull up then sad when he sees me.

How's your day been /tfg/?

Zoz. Did you say anything to him about it?

First time in years I've run over 13' tall. Sketched me the hell out until I got some weight over the trailer axles.

Was wondering what your guys pet peeves on the road is?
Like does it irritate the hell out of you when a car cuts into the lane you're trying to block when you're turning?

This.

If I'm not doing something productive like hauling 40 ton of shit across America for 14 hours a day I get fucking irate. And when I get irate I get fucking nasty. I either will fist fight a motherfucker, fuck the cheapest pussy raw, or pound the whiskey until I breathe fire, usually all three in the same employment gap over 10 hours long. I can log 40 hours on duty in less than 3 days, and I work off the clock motherfucker. So you can piss off you pussy ass faggot

Ill take my 38hrs a week in an office for 1500 after tax.

I just finally tried that Pilot taco pizza you fags we're on about over the last couple months.

Bruhs.

do you hate your family and friends?

So I've still got a Class A endorsement on my license but haven't really driven since CDL school,
would it be easy or hard to get a local driving job ?
i think i'd like to start with a dedicated route so i don't have to deal with feeling lost everywhere i go

Enjoy being an easily replaceable, bus riding peasant in that case.

Nah, it's one of those things where he hadn't "technically" done anything unprofessional, but he was crushing (no pun intended) and making her super uncomfortable. She just wanted me to be up there to mean mug him.

Sorry, 25 years minimum CDL-A experience needed with all endorsements and a hand-written note from Burt Reynolds stating that you are truly eastbound & down.

well sheeeit, guess i'll stay neet then

#1 peeve, cars that can't merge on the fucking highway.
Traffic is not required to yield to you, get up to speed when you get on or get the fuck out of my way! I have to be in the left lane so other trucks moving faster can get around me, and 9/10 times I have traffic on my left and it's more unsafe for me to change lanes than you to time your gap in traffic and mash on it.

LOL

>I-75 about an hour south of Atlanta
>Honda Accord on the shoulder with right-side blinker on
>Dude is literally standing at the tree-line taking a piss in broad daylight
So how's everybody else's day been? I see TF is setting up to make bank this week.

*right lane

>>Dude is literally standing at the tree-line taking a piss in broad daylight
when ya gotta go ya gotta go. not like the rest of us got a sleeper and a piss bottle handy

Just like traffic doesn't have to yield to let you in to merge :^)

Right?

How do you deal when they absolutely seem to want to wreck you?
>Looking for pointers because I see myself in the cuckshed within a few months.

I feel like I just said that. In some states it's actually state law that the on ramp yields right of way to traffic

Why are Haitians so fucking stupid?

>get to work yesterday, clusterfuck upon clusterfuck and can't even start running my route until 10am because we have no trucks
>been getting screwed one way or another every day, lots of it stems from tryin to pick up after other drivers fucking up and tryin to help out overwhelmed boss
>dude on light duty is only one left to take these 7 pallets to airport, he can't make commission anyway so I close out the invoice and make the $$$ on that because I lost out on running my route and did a bunch of other shit to help out other drivers
>go to check that the route got closed out fine today and I would make that airport money at least, retarded driver voided out the order to adjust the shit by a couple of dollars and logged me out of the computer and closed it all out so I can't go back and do anything about it.
>texted him telling him he's a fucking idiot and just took $100 from me and threw it down the drain
>still have to talk a bunch of shit to him tomorrow

These people don't think before they act. Ever wonder why Haiti and all of Africa are such shitholes? All of thay earthquake money is better off in Hillary's pocket than with those people.

You get a feeling for what they're gonna do before they do it. Most people telegraph what they're gonna do when they're thinking about it.
You get a sense of timing too. You get to know whether they're going fast enough to hit the gap in front of you, but they mostly target fixate on you because they're afraid of getting hit.

Personally I stick to my lane and current speed and don't budge an inch. The only time I'll change lanes is when there's absolutely nothing in the left lane, and I'll only slow down if it's another truck coming down the ramp and there's little/no merge area. If it's a car/bike/pickup or whatever else, fuck'em, they can speed up or hit the brakes, it's their call.
In every state, unless I'm mistaken. In Germany, the autobahn at least, it's the other way around - highway traffic yields to merging traffic. Apparently this is safer and results in fewer accidents, but I wonder what effect it has on traffic.
Fuck'em. I let them decide. Only twice have I seen drivers dumb enough to match speed and drive on the shoulder.

Sheeiiittt

I'm with you on that, I do the same. He was just asking what to do, I was basically telling him to make small adjustments in speed if absolutely necessary. They usually figure it out, if not they'll be on the shoulder.

>in germany
Fuck that for cars. Let them get rekt. Watching retards freak out when their lane is ending and they're on the side of my trailer is a hobby of mine.

There's a couple of on ramps on Southbound I-95 right in Ft Lauderdale where I have so many funny close calls. The lane ends kinda quick and there isn't much of a shoulder, just a cement barrier. There's no excuse for cars to not time it right tho, it's a downhill ramp so they have a few hundred yards to speed up and can easily see the traffic they have to merge with. But it's always the same shit, these people don't even look to their left until the lane is ending and that's when there is a trailer on the side of them and they have to slam on the brakes.

So stupid. And dude has been with the company for years and knew exactly how it was supposed to work. I even loaded the fucking truck for him.

...

Thanks for the advice man. I really appreciate it. The most scary situations for me are merging instead of backing and that kind of talk helps me develop techniques to cope with incompetent drivers. Thank you, again.
Thank you for your advice. I'm surprised more people haven't tried cutting you off from the shoulder. Also, while I have a flat bedder speaking with me, how fit do you have to be to handle the tarps?

That's true, but I'm bigger than you

>listening to dubblesfaggot about anything at all.
>not consulting real truckers who are also fuckers on this issue

I apologize master freightshaker, how fit do you think one has to be to pull off flatbed?

LMAO. Thats real rich coming from a trucker. Oh god my sides.

He's not a real trucker. Just an A1 poser.

The obese ginger neckbeard does fine.

Just remember, you started this again.
I was giving helpful advice to someone who was asking for it, which is what this thread is supposed to be about.

He'd be better off listening to the average swift driver at a truck stop than you.

No problem man, don't mind eternalshitposter, he's assmad cause no one thinks his toys make him cool.

Keks I ain't flatbedding any more, Roehl would only pay a pittance for tarping and they required it on 99/100 loads so I quit. That said, I'm a scrawny fucker, so while small tarps were no issue at all, the larger 'lumber' tarps were a real task. Alcoa in Tennessee wouldn't even put one on top of the coil with the forklift for you, so I had to ask someone to lend me a hand, since Roehl still uses ancient 200+ pound lumber tarps.

>weeaboo shit
as though that wasnt going to be the outcome no matter what.

Shit I missed the drama in last thread. Are we still dickwaving possessions?
Get a load of these bad girls.

Best 'za on the road.

Try reddit.

Have you shit your pants yet?

>Listening to the loader pilot/pressure washer operator that couldn't hack keeping it real in the field, so he ran away and now stays exclusively on the blacktop with his cute little highway queen Pete

The deepest zozzles. The heartiest laughs.

They trusted him with a front end loader?

You ever get that ecm you sent away for reprogramming? Last time you were saying the installed one way figuring everything out just fine.

Found an awesome cb shop in calhoun, LA that traced the bad connection in my mirage that's been causing my receive to go in and out for months

So awesome to find a good shop.

> how fit do you think one has to be to pull off flatbed?
Can you lift 40lbs? Can you put your arms over your head?
If you answered yes to either of these questions, you can flatbed

legit almost killed some fuck in a Ranger the other day because he was running doors with some jackass trying to merge, and rather than let that guy stop and figure it out the Ranger decided to be a super swell character and slam on the brakes and slow from 60ish to about 20. we were just coming to a tunnel so he got to listen to my train horn and jakes the whole way through.

primate brain just as expected in a trucker thread

please try to keep your japanimation and japanimation related content posted to the appropriate boards. /a/ is a good starting point.

Every board is the appropriate board for anime. Veeky Forums is an entire forum made for anime.

that hasnt been a correct point of view since 2010.

I thought tfag was cool when I first started coming here but if you haven't noticed he's kind of a very negative attitude asshole. He can occasionally be constructive and helpful. Other than that he makes everything seem worse than it really is and acts like he knows more than he does.

You're retarded.

All I read is that of attention seeking whore.
Please consider sucking the exhaust of running diesel instead of that crack whores strap on your use to.

Country music is a crime.

why is the distance between the two axles of your trailer so big?
wouldn't that only cause extra wear when making turns? (asuming they are unsteered)

Hey man, you gotta respect somebody who made $7.3B last year while only working 6hrs a week.

My Dunkin was free this morning because their system was down. Nice.

>itsatrap.gifv
Indeed it does. The tires on that forward axle are often rounded at the edges from being dragged when turning. The advantage to spread axle layout though is the max load limit is raised to 20k per axle instead of 17k, and if you center the load weight on the trailer, it should never be overweight - no adjustment needed.
Ayy I'm Miami-bound today.

Try finding a steel running job. Rebar don't need no tarps, even the epoxied stuff.

How many poles and signs must I run over to climb the ranks?

You have to run over all of the poles.
