Daily reminder 100 lives are lost everyday on US roads by the hands of human drivers, lets all freak out when 1 homeless loser doesn't obey traffic laws and gets splattered by a computer driven car.
You'll be thanking the Lord for those fendirrors some day.

Its shit aesthetics

No it's not. It's shit. Eat a bag of dicks.
Adam Adams
That’s like saying “More crimes are committed by white people than black people”
Yes, because there are more white people in the US. But when you use logic, there are very few driverless cars on the road and they manage to be worse than attentive human drivers and the average dindu commits many more crimes than the average cracker.
Paper or plastic bag?

Life is more simple when you don’t have to worry about losing your job every day because you can’t piss clean.
If you blow anything over .00, they will make you stop driving and shut you down for 24hrs (which I’m sure will go over well with dispatch). Anything over .04 in a commercial vehicle is a DUI and nobody will want to hire you again.
I didn’t really want to go to mass, but I think her parents were happy to see me there. Their eldest daughter actually found a nice Catholic American boy in this hellhole of a country!

You're not wrong, but in pic related why bother with a 48' at this point? You've negated all the pros of a 48' with that massive wheelbase. Might as well go 53' and have less overhang on that load
Eli Smith
One of those guys explained it to me once, essentially they can haul stuff and hang it over the front but if it doesn't hang over the rear no oversize permits are required
Connor Ortiz
Right, that's why i was asking about this particular load because it seems to have negated that usefulness, but he probably doesn't haul that long all the time.
A 48' still saves ~2,000lbs over a 53'. A 53' couldn't haul that load without removing one beam, because you can't get overweight permits for divisible loads.
Angel Johnson

Look up what JDM means. I don't know why you keep bringing up learners but being a learner or learning doesn't have anything to do with being JDM.

I'd call it a public transport fitting, considering thats exactly what it is. Weebs really are deluded.

Alright boys, finally ready to ask this. My 462 visa has cleared and I'll be doing 2 years of work holiday in Australia.
I am DESPERATE to get a job driving a road train or at the very least get behind the wheel of a Titan. If its impossible, fine. I'll do other work and still enjoy it. But I'd at least like to give it a shot. Any Aussies on who could help a dude out? I've logged a million safe miles in the USA, most of them with an 18 speed.
>Is it even possible for an American to get the Australian equivalent of a CDL on work holiday? >Is there a chance any company hires me when the limit is 6 months with one employer (though I understand trucking may actually fit into one of the exceptions)
I plan on coming home in 2020 and not starting a life down under, but if the pay is right and the job is fun enough I'd consider changing my mind. If that even matters for prospective employers.

about to start a comfy new job. My last 2 jobs were food delivery and total hell (an ice company and Coca-Cola)
but now I've finally decided to put my X endorsement to use and haul chemical. I wont be home every day which sucks, but trips are out and back. Avg of 3-4 nights home a week, 2 weekends off per month, customer unload, and of course higher pay
Do you enjoy bashing Lebo's? Are you a fulltime racist? Do you enjoy an alcoholic lifestyle? If you answered yes to all three, come on over and enjoy playing the best survival game known to man.
Carson Wright
A former soldier of mine has been an o/o for a couple years. All his Facebook posts are about how much money he makes now, and how much of a better trucker he is than the others he sees.
Ryder Green
Ex-military being a douchenozzle, wow thats a real surprise.
80 in WY sucks but hardly most dangerous imo. 90 over the divide in Montana, 84 between Pendleton and Ontario, Fourth of July Pass...all worse just out west.
The most dangerous stretch of interstate is probably 90/94 through Chicago, which is just nightmarish. Shitty drivers, shitty infastructure, constant construction, constant SHOOTINGS...I mean fuck at least you wont get murdered by gangs in Wyoming. Special shoutout to 90 through downtown Cleveland with the 30 mph curve out of NOWHERE. Also anything in Florida.
Christopher Roberts
Of course i also have one on my car and by the way yes it is JDM in the technical sense of the term

How many truckers own their own trucks and trailers outright? Then how many actually net 6 figures? Is it a small percentage of drivers?
I see a lot talk about 6 figures but it turns out that's their gross and they actually net 50k. Then the ones that drive for companies seem to make 40k or less
Blake Hughes
>How many truckers own their own trucks and trailers outright? Then how many actually net 6 figures?
Isaiah Morris
It's a steel framed combo, so it might as well be 1997.
See He isn't far off.
Any roodypoo with 2 months experience can sign their soul over to their company to play pretend O/O as a lease-op, giving 2/3 of their check back to their company every week for a truck they'll never own.
About 30% figure out going actual O/O is the only real option, but less than a third of those ever actually get their equipment paid off. Either they went into it with $500 in their bank account and go broke perpetually until they can't beg and borrow their way through daily business, or they get stuck in a never ending cycle of leases, rentals, ahs payments, so they never own their equipment outright. These are the ones that squander half their net profit on chrome and truck washes.
The ones actually netting six figures are the ones doing transmission swaps in the parking lot, cabs laden with tools, and only a vague memory of giving anyone money to get their equipment. The advantage an O/O has over a fleet is being able to maintain a truck cheaper, better, and more proactively. The ones with nothing but a credit card and a roll of duct tape in their toolbox are the ones that complain there's no money in trucking, wasting 3 days and a tow bill on a blown radiator hose that they could have swapped 3 years ago for $40.
Chase Foster
>JDM Please explain why you think that a handle from a train is considered a part that is for a Japanese domestic market car, which is what the term is designated for.
We actually have the smoothest roads in the country for the most part, with the exception of parts of I-4 because our toll budget actually goes back into maintaining our infrastructure unlike the rest of the country which siphons their toll money for gibsmedats and commissioner pay (looking at you Pennsylvania) and fills a couple of potholes each year.
Florida sucks because of two key areas, I-4 through Orlando, just on GP, and Miami, both because of traffic. Orlando double-sucks because all of the bypass roads around it are toll roads and there is pretty much no dodging them unless you want to sit in a parking lot for 2 hours.
>select all images with traffic lights
Alexander Collins
To be fair a small percentage of O/O started with a leased truck, Prime actually has an entire fleet of just those guys. Fully independent, power only, separate authority and insurance, picking from loadboards hauling Prime freight and if I remember they get 90% of the action and most of those guys are hauling minimum 2 and 3 dollars a mile
Honestly leasing a truck is a great way to learn how to be O/O and learn all the freight lanes that pay and the ones that don't, the idiots are the ones who keep leasing over and over and never own anything. I've leased a little over a year and learned so much, and still have a ways to go, but it's not a bad stepping stone to full O/O
Aiden White
Because it was purchased Domestically from a Market in Japan and imported here Now come on and stop shitting up the thread just because you're jealous
David Richardson
There are company drivers making six figures. Just be creative about how you use your CDL, I've found the more you do things other than just drive the more money you can make. You'll never make six figures going from Americold to Americold.
I have zero interest in becoming an O/O in this day and age. If I were to buy a truck it would almost definitely be a full height 22' straight truck doing local expedite. Guys get butthurt about not being a real truck driver without a trailer, but how many times have you seen forklifts come out and just lip skids off the back of a box truck in the parking lot while all the sucker trailer drivers wait 5 hours to get a dock? The margins are also way higher operating a vehicle that consumes less fuel and is basically invisible to DOT, not to mention the unlimited advantages of staying local.
Also, no matter what truck you are buying, if you are going to own a truck you are better off paying someone else to drive it almost 100% of the time. Unless you have a specialty and can do things very few other drivers can its just a new way to get fucked. You risk EVERYTHING to make 10-15% more money. If you like being an OTR driver hopping from DC to DC then work for a company.

So there I was, barrelling down cabbage on the eastbound in my corn flake hauling a roach coach. I was trying to back it down, but as I came around a turn there was an alligator in the granny lane. And I have some hitchhiker on my donkey. So I hit the power lane as quick as I could, but this rollerskate collects it.
