No, I'm not retarded. Unlike you it seems.

Yup, he's a pussy. Probably donut want your cumknee yelling at you because you went over 65mph for 11 seconds.

Can you get a job in this industry with hand/neck tattoos?

Just because your bus went down a hill once and the driver didn't slow down isn't the same as 44 tons trying to stop immediately.

Deflecting doesn't make you less of a pussy. You can make all the false accusations you want and I'll blow pass your poor slow scared ass going 40mph down a 5% grade

Just got pulled in for my first random drug test this morning. Is it weird for them to have done a hair follicle? I'm going to pass it and my fleet manager didn't seem to think I'd have any trouble with it, just curious.

I'd pay to see you do 60+ down a 10% grade.

>5%
Whats that? A fucking hill?

Newest addition to the fleet. T800, 18 speed, Paccar MX-13 @ 500 hp.

My co-worker drove it back from the fabricator and said it had breddy good cajones.

A DAFworth.

Yep, he's retarded.
Flying down a range at 60 only to roll it off the edge at the first corner while his brakes are on fire.

Ask him, he's the pussy scared to go over 60mph.

Why do these expensive ass trucks always have gaudy sticker jobs? Who the fuck thought that was a good idea

People that can both afford and justify brand new trucks are usually tasteless boomers that think chrome and flame decals make their trucks look like a classic hot rod

The sabres are to add a pop of color to what would be very plain white trucks otherwise. Not my first choice, necessarily, but better than nothing, especially when a lot of oilfield service companies run plain white trucks already.

>Boomers
>Afford and justify a brand new truck
Did you actually take a look at the image I posted? This isn't exactly a daycab hauling groceries from a cold storage to the rear end of a Safeway.

The customers that either order our services directly, or have a large hand in deciding what service providers are on the pre-approved lists are on site and see our equipment every day, so its in our best interest to have properly maintained, nice looking equipment that performs well to leave a good impression.

>I go fast down 5% grades

Real answer: this kind of idiocy happens so much that it's not worth much thought at all.

That's normal. I was told hair follicles show a lot of drug usage from as far back as 3 months. Piss test only shows ~2wks but I think it's cheaper.

>Truckdog is fun, vocal new tripfag
Aww shucks.

Who is freon? I found these breads by accident, glad I did.

Passed my drug screen :)

This is retard smoker user from yesterday btw

Lucky. Now don't do it again.
>Give me your weed instead

Will acquiring a non-commercial Class A/B allow me to drive a vehicle with air brakes?
I've been reading around and its so vague.

I really like cab-overs, and wouldn't mind owning one for an occasional drive.

I didn't take any out of Colorado sorry

That's ok bud.

All jokes aside, no more weed. You got lucky this time. Maybe not next time.

Hit me up when someone breaks the glass trans.

18 speed manual. I assume the same Roadranger in every oilfield and logging truck out here that never have issues.

That's probably the best idea. Most of the instructors are ex long haul guys that will tell you who they deal with.
Yes, I have a hand tattoo, I know guys with neck tats and full sleeves, no one cares for the most part. Pic related from when I got it in Springfield, MO two years ago after I was down for two weeks after hitting a deer.

It's either this, or selling meth.

Nice tattoo

RTLO18918B (or 16918) are the common ones and are super easy to fuck up if you don't shift correctly.

Them fro16210c boys though... Grind it til u find it

Thanks, dude does solid work. I haven't been able to get back for the free once over after it healed. He still owes me one.
No, that's a blue wristband for a fallen rider that I knew.
>I disapprove of your way of life, so I will attempt to mentally put you beneath me

Neat. Tell yourself I must be destitute too

You should go do it.

I want to get a tattoo myself, but my boyfriend doesn't like the idea. Fuck that noise, i'll just go do it one day.

>I should have settled down with a trucker

Ignore babbys first shitposts, unless you find fun in the sport of course.

Flat black droopy eyed topkick. I like.

I will, I don't get through there anymore. I got it when I was OTR.. I run a dedicated route from FL to TX now, so it's been tough to be over there.
Yup, the rare 4wd version they sold for logging stuff, it's my dream zombie apoc vehicle.

A man of similar tastes I see.

I also like them fat, black, and with droopy eyes.

It begins. Thinking of stickerbombing the paint patches from the body repair work. Gonna take it to a VW dealer or shop sometime. Heard a radio ad today for a Euro/diesel sport shop today, might drop by and have them check it out. Definitely want to get that oil leak fixed and the battery replaced, possibly the battery leads too. And the timing belt when I get the next quarterly bonus.

get rid of that piece of shit jesus christ i am vomiting just reading your post

>babby's first attempt at trolling
I thought school started already… either way, here's a free (You) for making me giggle.

>trucker
>fixing finances

Oh boy thats a quality joke.

Made me chuckle heartily.

I mean yeah I'll probably fucking blow that extra $500/mo on moar vidya as opposed to actually paying off my credit cards. I like to tell myself I'll pay them off though.

You should be able to do terminal ends and battery yourself even if it's in the trunk. (No idea where it is on a jetta).

For battery replacement, without vatozone you need to know two things:
1.) Cold cranking amps (CCA) and regular cranking amps on your current battery
2.) Battery dimensions (length,width,height)
3.) Bonus round: whether it is side post or top, I'm betting it's side.

This will tell you what battery you can get from anywhere, including Wal-Mart and not pay shitty markup on a "special" battery. If the car is over a decade old, spend the cash and buy both battery ends and the anti corrosion stuff to put on them.

Oil leak and timing belt should definitely be done by a pro if you're not mechanically inclined. Watch out if that's an interference engine though, a timing belt letting go means GG engine.

I have a MK4 Jetta 1.8t

That's what those batteries cost, sadly. Even shopping around hard you can only grind it down to about $150 at best.

Advance auto parts always has a 20-25% coupon running if you're feeling incredibly lazy and wanna pick it up about as cheap as you can.

Yeah I can do the battery myself and possibly the leads as well, but it does look like some sort of specialty battery, and the corrosion looks wild. I've seen bad corrosion on gasoline car batteries, but this stuff is different. I haven't looked into it yet though. I'll also probably get the coolant flushed and refilled. VW manual says that's not needed, that it's a 'lifetime' coolant from the factory, but I call bullshit on that. And yeah I'm replacing the timing belt because the guy that sold it to me said that should be done ASAP because it's due before 220k. Got 202k on the dash right now.
Yeah I figured if Vatozone's 3 options were $200, $230, and $250, the batteries probably weren't going to be much cheaper elsewhere. I'll research it and make sure to get a good one.

Total fucking sticker shock, right?

>VW manual says that's not needed, that it's a 'lifetime' coolant from the factory
>200k

Also, if you haven't get your trans fluid drained/replaced.

Those germans are fucking bastards about "lifetime" bullshit. They go as far as to claim the trans is sealed.

>202k vdub

Holy crap, I'd pull the trans dipstick and see if you smell any burnt or if the fluid is brown/black. If either or both (and possibly even if not) I'd have the tranny flushed and fluid/filter replaced as that's the one thing no one ever does.

Yeah, but then again I picked up a 200k+ European sedan with a turbodiesel. I figured some of the TLC it was gonna need would be pricier than the gasser beaters I've had.
Yeah I had been told to get the transmission checked, so I'll bolt that on to the list as well. At least the car will only be getting ~100mi/wk on it for a while.

Depending on the model the filters are stuck so deep into the tranny it's impossible to replace without tearing down the whole thing

Germans are bastards

If it came to that, you reckon it would be similarly expensive to just swap for a rebuilt manual? The auto it's got is alright, and has a 'manual' mode, but I'd rather have a real manual. I just don't want to drop that kind of money unless I have to.

5 speed tiptronic?

It has no dipstick, nor accessible filter but is very easy to drain and refill. It almost makes it really nice in that regard as to regular maintenance is a bolt and some fun plastic clips (i'd replace the top plug after 202k, heat has fucked that thing).

They don't seem to die unless horrendously abused, the solenoids are the first thing to go to them, and most think their trans is dying when it's nothing more than a solenoid. They're a bitch to do but not exactly hard, and about $200 a set.

Drain and replace the trans fluid and drive it until it dies. If you're really nice to your car and don't mind dropping a bit on the price-ier OE/OE spec trans fluid do it again after a few thousand miles.

If it was never done like mine until ~150k it will smell like a tire fire.

Got them priorities straight.

aaaand this is why you drive a truck

I dunno. I'm governed to 63 and will try to get up to 85 mph on a decline so I have more time to masturbate when I get to the cons.

Sweet Lou's in westville Indiana got good food

Keep drinking that sugar water and eatin the nasty fat food.

You'll make a sexy chubber.

Chubbers are sexy though. To me, at least.

How shitty is trucking for the big companies like Walmart or Target?

Walmart is actually great. They're on of the top fleets to work for, but have very stringent requirements.

Funny considering their warehouse and store staff are treated like slaves.

I just got out of working in a warehouse because it turns out my spine has been fucked since birth and i've degenerated it in an advanced fashion by lifting up to 45kg on my own. Doctor gave me a note for light duties and all they cared about was when I could lift again. When I said never they forced me to quit.

Warehouse workers are treated like shit.

Why can't I ever win?

do you have a favorite part about being a truck driver?

I'm not a truck driver. Did ride alongs for many years. My back is too fucked for me to drive trucks or lift anything, and I can't drive on the painkillers i'm on.

Where are you?

...

Your gf has a pig face, but would slam

Damn.

I have every reason in the world to buy a plane ticket and vanish.

Don't lie. It's from bending over all the time with a fat truckers gut resting on your back while he fucks your ass.

He is near me. But I'm voting NO.

I usually ride their cocks nice and slow, you know, get the tip nice and wet, then push it in and ride like my life depends on it.

That's called having sex, incase it's just a distant memory to you now

P.s - vote no all you want, i really don't care.

That's called being a faggot.

Nah, only if he does it while watching anime. That would be 100% faggotry.
He's just a homo.

>tfw can barely even shitpost

I think those milk dudes always work like a gazillion hours a week.
