how many hookers have you murdered

Have you ever been to Richland was?

Do you smoke tons of meth to stay awake in the road?

How do you and other truckers feel about cars drafting you so they get better fuel economy?

>>687895009
Sometimes. But usually only at night, it'd be too easy to be spotted during the day, and indecent exposure can get me fired.

How often do you shit, and do you have a sealed bucket in your cabin, or do you stop as a trucker stop?

>>687894910
do you like it? how much do you get paid per week?

>>687897225
I usually have a movement once a day, we have to take a mandatory 30 min break in the middle of the day, so I usually do it then. I usually have enough free shower credits from fueling that I can get a shower room to shit in, which is always cleaner than the general restrooms in truck stops. I do pee in bottles from time to time tho.

>>687897732
It's OK, requires about 10% of my brain to do, so... not that bad, but it sucks being away from the wife and kids so much.

Get paid by the mile so it varies week to week, good week is about $1500 the Ake home bad week is about $850 usually it's between 1000 and 1200 a week

>>687898166
Take home... dunno wtf autocorrect did there

Do you smoke meth? Or shoot it?

And are white crosses still a thing?

How often do people leave their high beams on and do you return the favour?

>>687898166
what do you do while driving usually?

>have you encountered hitchhikers? If so do you pick them up?

>>687898549
No
>>687898700
Not into speed so, dunno
>>687898757
It fucking sucks especially Prius drivers, they ALWAYS leave the high beams on... I'd say 10-20 times a night

>>687898166
How do you deal with merging? I usually slow down and let truckers merge or change lane in front of me. I drive a Mustang, which is a fairly small car. And even then, it's a pain in the ass to find a spot to change lanes unless I am particularly pissed off that day and just take spots if I have the space.

Couldn't imagine doing it in a 50' truck.

>>687899064
I usually listen to an eBook being read via TTS on my tablet if traffic is heavy, watch tv shows on Netflix or saved to wifi NAS if no cell signal in the middle of the night.

>>687899078
I see them a lot, but don't pick them up, mostly because I usually am carrying high value loads and the theft risk is high, plus they are dirty and smelly, I have to basically live in the truck when I'm working.

>>687899774
huh i wouldn't be able to drive while listing to a book or watching a show

If a single guy wanted to earn good money would you recommend trucking? It sounds like a sweet gig if you aren't married.

>>687899356
It depends a lot on where you are, in new England, or los Angeles please people are dicks so you kind just have to nose into an opening and hope people aren't suicidal... everywhere else most of the time signalling will get you an opening.

It's certainly a better gig for a single person, but I would caution you to try something else first because nobody but trucking companies will hire a former trucker, I was a computer engineer before this, and can't go back for shit. Also, meeting a spouse while trucking is nigh upon impossible, so if you're not married... driving will not help

>>687902086
Ah... 4wheeler means any car with 4 wheels... the car was a Ford f150 I think

>>687902393
oh most people just call those trucks or cars people usually call atv's 4wheelers

Gotta ask. How common is the whole truck stop/rest area man on man jo/bj thing? I hear everything from it being mostly a myth to it being pretty much normal even for straight truckers.

Yeah well to us any private passenger vehicle is a 4 wheeler or car, even pick'em'up "truck" an ATV would just be a toy...

>>687905769
Damn. In the shop?? That's kinda dumb. They will roll up on you at rest areas all the time though. I see it in Ohio a lot. Every now and then they'll jump on a truck stop but we all have cb's so it usually doesn't lead to much. Rest areas are a different story though, they'll wake you up in the middle of your ten and completely fuck your log up.

Do you worry about your health? Its not like you move around a lot, not trying to be a dick just wondering.

>>687907263
Not OP but you can absolutely make 6 figures. A lot of LTL guys make insane cents per mile. Old Dominion guys who run teams get .61 cents per mile after the split. What I mean is they add up all the miles they've ran that week and pay 1.22 per mile and they split it. My buddy make like 122k a year and is home just about every weekend. Lease purchase seems to work best for people who live on the East Coast. West Coast freight can get slow hella quick and you still have that payment looming every week. Team driving can pay a ton but you better really like the person you drive with. Also, it's really hard to sleep in a rolling truck.

>>687907909
Well I'm sure you're running a clean idle truck since you're in Cali all the time. They usually won't bother a guy with a clean idle sticker. I idle all the time in PA while guys with old rigs sit and sweat their asses off.

>>687907925
Trucks actually come with a switch so we can blink our marker lights. Just flick it a few times to say thanks.

>>687907215
Crete, their hiring process will probably weed you out if you can't get onto swift

>>687907263
They can, but it's the exception not the rule... solo you would have to be operating a truck you already payed off or pulling some nasty shit like oilfield oil, or live animals or explosives

I will never operate an owned or leased vehicle because I'm a family man and stability means more to me than gambling the future on a big return

I have done both solo and team, made more money team, but it depends greatly on the chemistry of the team, the way I see it, I'm not here to be friends, just to make money and then go home

Thoughts/Opinions on the recent discussions about self driving trucks? Will a driver always still be required, autonomous truck or not, or do you worry about your job security in the next decade or so?

>>687909532
Well, there is stuff that has to be done that a computer can't really do, like opening the doors, docking, swapping trlrs, fueling, eating a sammitch... honestly I don't see them getting rid of drivers entirely... but I could see them letting a solo truck run like a team... but it's still a ways off

>>687909532
You will always need a human behind the wheel. We're out driving in all weather, in all sorts of conditions. We're driving through places with no cell or Qualcomm signal with heavy loads through mountain passes and shit. Not worried so much about self driving trucks as I am the oil that will be running low in a couple decades.

>>687912805
do you think that being a ups truck driver would be better? i heard that they can make up to 35 a hour or something like that

Former trucker checking in, I'm gonna chime in even though no one asked. Hail /b/!

>>687898757
Some people seems to think that just because they are driving on a divided highway, that they can just leave their lights on. You can even hit them back and they don't even respond.

>>687900009
No, you will get sick of it eventually. Truckers are treated like second class citizens these days. Forget it and try for something else.

>>687902896
Probably true but exaggerated. Most of the fags I knew of used craigslist or had a CB. Fuckfests in the bushes, I don't think it's a thing anywhere.

>>687903007
>Hookers at trucks tops, nasty as fuck

I seen one hottie doing it. My guess is college and drugs.

>>687903826
Buy a CB, live near a large/busy truck stop. Advertise. There's codes and shit but I don't think I know them. I think i heard guys that key the mic on 19 but don't say anything, and that means you are supposed to go to another channel but I'm not sure which one. Then there's guys that key up on 19 and say "21" or something, and that means goto 21 and talk to him about getting your dick sucked or whatever. Nothing wrong with what two consenting adults do. Go for it and have fun, just be careful.

>>687912978
Never driven for them, see them around everywhere though the trucks mostly seem to be 3-4 years old... so... if you want brand new equipment, maybe not the best place to work

You would be home more often

>>687913119
Op here What do you do now?

>>687913357
Don't really care about brand new equipment at this point. Just want to gain experience and be able to move into OD and make better money.

Really just looking for a good company that will train me in flatbed with no otr experience. Use to run hopper bottom locally and want to make more money.

Also looking for a company that doesn't hair follicle test as I was in Colorado a couple months ago and partook in the local festivities.

>>687913854
Also I'm located in the Midwest if that makes any difference

>>687913854
Swift will pay you shit but will give you our flatbed experience, they are practically gagging to offer people flatbed jobs

Has trucking really fucked up your health and/or diet? What do you normally eat on a daily basis?

No judgements, it's all very understandable.

>>687894910
Ive noticed a lot of time when traffics really slowed up on the freeway its because two of you truckers are driving side by side taking up both lanes driving slow as fuck with wide open road in front of you. Not saying you do it, but what is the reasoning behind this asshattery?

>>687914089
western offered me .38 per mile to start. didnt think that was too bad for a guy that has 0 otr experience

>>687914091
I'm probably more of an exception than a rule, but at least 1 meal a day is salad, I eat fresh fruit daily, and exercise daily, I'm slightly overweight, but have actually lost weight since I started driving 10 years ago. The one place I'm not happy with my health is dental, it is hard as fuck to schedule dental work

>>687914528
Oh damn, not too bad then. I suppose you do make enough money to buy healthy shit so that's good

Any bad experiences while driving?

>>687914205
It's called a turtle race and believe it or not the drivers doing it hate it as much as you do, the problem Is twofold, 1 mist trucking companies limit the speed of their trucks to 65 or so, but due to many variables that means every truck moves at a slightly different top speed. 2. Truckers are under immense pressure to get where they are going in the hours they are allowed to drive legally, so, they cannot afford to back off their limited top speed, even if it takes 30 Miles to pass another truck

>>687914524
That's not bad for the rate... but the real question is will they get you the miles...

Former trucker fag again

>>687905679
I used to carry multiple firearms, I know for a fact that I wasn't alone.

>>687907263
>ive seen it advertised that truckers can make over 100k a year

I think all the stories are horseshit. See once you start getting seniority at a company, you will notice your miles dropping slowly, because the newbies making dogshit are getting all the loads. Specialty is the way to go. If you can run oversize, those guys supposedly make a shitload of money.

>are you gonna become an owner operator and are the company lease to own programs any good?

If you are gonna own your own truck, save up and buy a used one with cash. It's too difficult to make payments on a brand new truck.

I started at a major company for the lease purchase program and I walked out. I sat in the hotel room at night after orientation and did the math, and there was no goddamn way. Don't be a dick and just leave, tell them you are leaving and why. They paid me for my time and bought me a ticket back home.

>>687908535
You assume that sticker means anything, or at least that trucks without that sticker are any worse for the environment than trucks without. SCAM. I mean, DEF? Really? What's next? Elbow grease and headlight fluid?

>>687914091
>Has trucking really fucked up your health and/or diet?

YES. I got fat over 6 years. Eating healthy on the road is very hard.

>>687914524
>western offered me .38 per mile to start.

It's shit. When I quit I was at .44. You have to pay attention to what all the company pays you for, and reimburses you for. Some companies that pay higher will jew you on EVERYTHING. Be careful.

>>687915088
Fuck this. It might have taken me a while to get around someone who speeds up mid-pass, but if it was taking too long and there was traffic behind me, I would slow down and get back behind him.

My annual taxable income for the last 5 year has been between 68k and 86k in 2010 I broke my knee on the job so it was a shit year, my first year I cleared 32k, backing can be a bitch, but if you are over the road, the really bad places will be few and far between, if you are ltl or local you get more shit places
Honestly this should be your job of last resort. I only started doing this because the tech market crashed and I had no non compute skills and a California mortgage.

>>687917494
Freight shaker cascades, I fucking hate Peterouts

What are you hauling?
Do ya have a reefer unit attached?
Why the fuxk have you guys all been coming into my office wearing those big goofy fuxking xbox live headsets?
No u cannot charge your tablet in my office while we load you.
DONT FUCKING ORDER PIZZA HUT DELIVERY TO YOUR TRUCK DOUCHE.
Why cant you back into door 6 without jack knifing?
Why do you forget to open your fucking doors before you back in?
NO YOU CANT PUT THE SEAL ON YOURSELF.
i dont give a fuxk if you are too heavy up front. I am not going to reload you. You should have set your tandem before i loaded you. And finally- wtf wont you use the fuckin air suspension thing to at least attempt to reach the height of my dock? Its really tough for us to load you when theres a foot drop and all you had to do was raise up.
Ps- when you back in please remove air from the red line... Im tired of being suprised from escaping air when i come out to lock you out.

>>687894910
How many people have you had radio sex with?

>>687917458
No, they're just mobbed up

>>687917549
Never claimed I was on general freight, only the unreliable shit drivers stay general freight for long in my company

>>687918312
Drive safe

>>687918446

>NO YOU CANT PUT THE SEAL ON YOURSELF.

Then if the load shifts, it's on you.

>i dont give a fuxk if you are too heavy up front. I am not going to reload you. You should have set your tandem before i loaded you.

>wtf wont you use the fuckin air suspension thing to at least attempt to reach the height of my dock? Its really tough for us to load you when theres a foot drop and all you had to do was raise up.

You have literally no idea what you are talking about. Kill yourself. No really. Do it.

>>687918554
>Never claimed I was on general freight, only the unreliable shit drivers stay general freight for long in my company

Once you get out of the big 3(5?) things change for normal fleets. Like having a big fuel book and being able to fill up wherever you want as long as it's in that book? Yeah no, try having the computer telling you to get 50 gallons three times on a 300 mile trip. Not even kidding.

>>687918328
More of looks and mechanics then comfort and reliability for me, those freights are basically the Honda of the truck world mechanics wise. Hate to fix them but so simple. Why don't you like Petes from a driver perspective?

Currently I have a FedEx ground load that I picked up at an amazon dc.
No reefer
They're just Bluetooth not Xbox
Don't be s dick
Ditto, probably because you stupid fucks block it up with your cars
Roll doors probably.. in which case quit bitching.
I prefer not to handle the seal, but you just handed it to me what am I supposed to think

You obviously don't understand weight distribution or how tandems work, you should try talking to someone who knows how to do their job. You obviously don't.

>>687919830
All 6 pallets of fertilizer in the nose, and toilet paper the rest of the way back. What's wrong with that?

>>687919574
You drive for swift... only co I know makes drivers take 50 here and 50 there lol, we get a fuel route, but we can top ofg at every assigned fuel stop honestly I think the smaller comps are the ones with an open fuel book, and Werner, but fuck Werner

>>687919734
I had a Pete for 6 months, 4 months of which was spent in the shop getting repairs. They are like Harley Davidsons, you buy a name, not a well.made vehicle

any drivers ever get any cool free shit from the shippers when they pick up their load? i haul reefer and constantly get free steaks from one shipper

>>687920265
No what i dont understand is when i load 24 pallets straight (same product same weight) back staggered from left to right and some STILL the fuckers come back an hour later saying they are too heavy in the nose basically i only have a couple of fee to play with. Like you guys really want me to take all of the pallets off just to pull back the first two pallets 6 inches?

>>687920265
Haha, I had a FedEx load where they decided to put 8 stacked pallets of small caliber munitions on the tail... was 48000 on the tandems with them at 40' total load weight was listed at 32000

op post your wifes noods

>>687920730
Lol i loaded this one guy who pulled all sorts of shit out of his reefer trailer before we loaded him. Cases of silk milk. Ribs. Chicken. Steak. Im guessing that was some of his buddies hooking him up?

>>687920730
I did grocery for a while, got lots of free overages and wrong prods, Campbell's is hella bad about just throwing whatever on to fill out a load, and if it is rejected they just tell us to dump it.

>>687920874
Translation, you don't know shit about how to load a truck

>>687921144
No way, lol I like breathing air, she would gut me.

>>687921413
Enlighten me faggot. Nobody taught me how they just twll me to load a truck and i do it. Maybe if you explain this shit you can save your fellow stinky truckers a headache

>>687921237
It was probably either rejected, or he was running another load under the table, was he Indian?

Ever have anyone flash you/see anyone have sex in their car?

>>687921629
It's not my job to load the truck either lol, just my job to take it back when you fuck it up, btw every time you do, my co charges your co an extra fee on top of the agreed freight charges, so keep doing it and maybe you'll get fired.

>>687922107
Been flashed, once in FL once in TX, once in ca

>>687922107
Oh, and I saw a couple fuck while we were waiting on the drawbridge between CA and or on 5 once

>>687920874
IT'S THE FUCKING LAW!

And it's YOUR fault.

>>687921801
Nah he was a black dude.
But we get alot of straight outta africa sounding dudes, bearded arabs that seem like they want to explode at any minute and the indians.... God damn indians need to stop eating all that curry. Look i dont care if truckers use the restroom but not the fucking indians. They stink up the breakroom, offices, and the loading dock.

>>687922535
Couldn't really see anything, but she crawled onto him and the car started rocking lol

>>687894910
How much pressure is there to speed and break max running hours?

Could you survive/keep a job in the industry strictly following the rules,

>>687920874
Here's a hint faggot. When you pull that shit on a driver, they have every right to refuse to pull that load until you fix it. It's their CDL on the line, so what they say goes. Period. Who the fuck trained you?

>>687922736
I hear you grocery has the most sketchy drivers and receivers anywhere, I was glad when I was done with that.

>>687922213
Nah they wont fire me. They wont even teach me about load distribution.
Also do you guys hate usda as much as we do?
One usda bitch had a driver leave empty because his trailer didnt meet her clenliness standards(broken pallet boards on floor)

Psh, get a load of this amateur. Smoke crack and worship Satan, nigga.

>>687922962
The pressure is there, more with small companies than the big ones, with electronic logs it is virtually impossible to cheat, and not get busted by the company.

>>687923000
Lol nobody. They put me on a forklift and said putbpallets onto truck. Only rule they told me was to push each layer of pallets on opposing wals of trailer for weight distribution. And put any off weighing palleta in the middle of the load. Thats literally all they said.

how many backpage bitches you bang

>>687923444
Heaviest pallets go in the middle. If you aren't sure, ask the driver where he wants it.

Now you know.

>>687923141
Lol shoulda guessed you were in grocery... always sketchy as fuck

>>687923557
0
I'm not the cheating kind, nothing religious, it's just a shitty thing to do

>>687923444
It shows, you not dumb just ignorant

>>687923795
As a driver, I NEVER tell them how to load it, because no way am I going to assume responsibility if it's not right

>>687923795
>>687923821
Idk what yall define as grocery(maybe just general food products?)
But i work in a refrigerated warehouse that speciallizes in blast freezing. Nordic

If anyone or anything is going to eat any if what goes in the trlr it is grocery

>>687924117
Every now and then i get unified drivers with a hair up their asses stressing to me "NO FUCKING PINWHEELING" yes I GET IT. Fuck unified western dudes.

>>687924270
Yes, but it was overseas, and sanctioned, and well before is was driver. I'm not at liberty to give more detail than that.

>>687924429
Yeah, pinwheeling is stupid anyhow, that shit always falls

>>687924751
It saves space. I can fit 26 or 28 pallets in a 53 footer with pinwheeling

>>687896127
Easy to get caught, lol no. You are already so high up the most you have to do is drop your seat. If you can't drive with your seat dropped to the ground and your dick in your hand, you ain't no trucker.

>>687924535
So you were military?

>>687925161
Have you driven thru TX or OK lately? They have cameras on the Fwy looking specifically into what's going on in truck cabs

>>687925244
No, 100% civilian.

>>687924117
You ARE responsible is you drive with an overweight load. Why do you think they give YOU the ticket?

>>687925161
Um, not everyone can hide what they are doing that easily... lol you must have a tiny dick to be able to hide it like that

>>687925896
I don't drive with overweight loads, I scale anything over 36k lbs and take it back if it is wrong lol

>>687894910
I heard crst was a good company to get cdl through. Whaddya know about them?

Are there any companies that will take Sex Offenders through CDL?

>>687925896
Again, I've never had a preventable incident, that includes tickets, I'm safe as fuck

>>687926301
Crash rollover stunt team is their nickname... they are possibly the worst of the big companies, I have never talked to a driver who stayed with them more than 6 weeks... and I doubt any truck company would knowingly hire a sex offender

>>687925960
have you ever been in a semi? Unless you drive a shitty company yard truck, the driver's seat drops right to the ground, beside high doors, in a cab that is already above most cars on the road. Unless you have a 3 foot dick no one is seeing anything you do down there.

>>687926806
Thanks for your posts!

>>687927023
Other trucks much? I can see the driver even if they are cholos if they are on my left side... methinks you may be the nocdlfag

>>687927262
No problem... :)

Are you worried about the eventual replacement by an autonomous system in the next 10-15 years? Sounds like truck drivers will be a thing of the past before you know it.

Just got my class A and looking for local work before selling my soul to Werner. Any pointers for evading common rookie mistakes, OP?

>>687927605
This was asked and answered earlier and the simple answer is no, there is a lot of non driving stuff that has to be done even if the truck drives itself

>>687927858
Werner is a shit option, where (in general) do you live?

>>687927858
Don't be in a hurry, don't drive illegally, safety is more important than speed... don't do drugs, don't eat just junk food, get exercise

>>687928135
Central CA. Trucking school really tried to push Covenant on me, but i don't want to do teams especially if i go OTR.

>>687928387
So pretty common sense shit. How are the fitness rooms at the truck stops?

are trucks still that crazy 2 phase manual or are they automatic transmissions?

>>687928470
Starting out is gonna be shit pay for at least a year, but if you wanna do seasonal work you can make an running tomatoes or other produce... swift, Schneider,b other run really strong in the i5 in CA but that's not going to be good for local work there are a lot of 10-20 truck LTL outfits in the Modesto Stockton Fresno area that will get you home a lot, look at who has yards near where you live, but apply to their corporate recruiters if you are going to go otr

>>687928636
Some of the TAs and petrol have shitty ones, my company has them at every terminal, I carry a magnetic resistance cycle and a pair of 30lb weights so I can get exercise without leaving the truck, and I walk a lot

>>687929172
Both, an the auto shifters come with and without clutch

>>687929175
Know of any in particular in the Fresno area that don't mind hiring fresh-out-of-school newbs?

>>687929172
It's actually pretty easy to learn an 8 or 10 speed transmission

>>687929680
isn't using the cluch to shift in a truck a faux paux anyways? Whats in point in an auto to have a clutch

>>687894910
How many toilets have you clogged within the past 30 days?

>>687929739
Not really, I actually live in norcal, Fresno is pretty big though, mist of the big dry van companies have at least a drop yard there where you can take sometime,but you will probably have to go north or south for the hiring rigmarole

>>687929844
I've driven an 8spd car, without the double set of gears, but i feel like the selector would be weird

>>687930145
0
>>687930079
The schools actually teach double-clutching nowadays, an experienced driver will float gears once rolling, but you always have to clutch out of a stop, some drivers can't figure out how to back properly without the clutch.

>>687930246
It's not that bad

>>687894910
What's the scariest situation you've been in on the road? Have you ever had any paranormal experiences or anything?

This is Wolly from poo.com I like to make immature drawings for a living.

You ever run those weigh stations without stopping?

>>687894910
How often do you get flashed? I get SO turned on when i drive by truckers all slow and show them that i'm stroking under my pants. if they speed up to follow me i will flash them

>>687930846
is auto for a 4wheeler different from truck auto? also whats the trick to floating gears? Will it give a little like in a car?

>>687896742
They tested it and it did work..........
