Anyone in Texas whose house got flooded deserves to have their house flooded. The only parts of Texas effected by the weather are shit parts of Texas that should be eradicated.

Ok dude but be careful. Working for someone else for many years has taught me that they will screw you at the first opportunity to cover their own asses.
>I met a trucker who said that the key to making money is eat very healthy to keep your body up, and then to drive more hours than you're allowed. As long as you don't go over the allowed miles per day, you are fine. Nobody can regulate how much time you drive. They do it by miles.

I genuinely feel bad for people who feel burdened with white guilt.
I legitimately don't have any. One of my ancestors was hanged for speaking out against slavery in america, because he just wouldn't shut up about it.
Britain didn't practice slavery, either.
And while we're at it, the Empire improved lives and countries in the long run. It's not like we're the fucking french, or anything. There's still countries trying to become part of the empire, for fuck's sake, just to get some of that sweet sweet infrastructure development.

>in reference to disc brakes

>“Some Class 5 buyers will spec air if they have other air systems on the truck, though the lower end of Class 5 use hydraulic discs. It depends on gross axle weight rating; there’s a point where hydraulic brakes just can’t do the job anymore, about 32,000 pounds.”
What's the limiting factor? Does the fluid start boiling?

40cpm WITHOUT fuel/safety/etc bonuses included in the base pay, and NEVER go with a sliding payscale. Whatever they offer as an average weekly mileage, figure you'll actually get 70% of that the first year, because you'll be on the bottom end of that bell curve. Stay far, far away from companies that push team driving. Always go for a dedicated account so your load planner isn't fighting with 30 more to keep 5,000 other drivers rolling. You probably won't get on one until you cut your teeth, so until then it's just personal preference on whether you do OTR or regional. Don't plan on being home more than 3 days a month unless you get on a slipseat account, but in that case, don't expect to make much more than $25k a year.

Can't believe you think the truck on the jack has a long wheelbase.
280' is pussy ass shit in 2017.
That's what mine is and I feel like I'm driving a Prius. I run NYC as does my 300" brother in a kenworth that can't turn, and my dad in his 310". I do a lot of one off LTL drops where trucks don't usually go. Have NEVER had an issue. Shits been tight at times. Just like my GF's fucking pussy

They ride better, you can hang shit off the rails, they look cool, hang stuff off the front of the trailer.

If the wood chipper you're talking about is about the same size I have seen around my city, that's definitely something to be proud of. Small trailers are actually a lot harder to back compared to 53' semi trailers. The short equipment reacts so quickly to any steering wheel movement one tends to jackknife the equipment if you're not paying attention.

Do you have a class B or C license for that work? Are you hoping to get a class A at some point, and move up to that? Local work is definitely comfy if you can find a good gig.

Swift is a puppy mill company and seek to throw you in a driving position as fast as possible with minimal training, generating tons of accidents. Primefag shills non stop for Prime but I've heard nothing about them other than what he's said.

Your next move is really up to you, O/O is the big money but you need good business sense and work ethic to make it profitable. Leasing is typically a massive fucking scam unless you can make it work via training newbies or teaming. If you find a place you like you could find a regional or local position and establish yourself there. (Avoid border cities for this one)

OTR wouldn't bother me too much. There's really nothing tying me down in one place. I've been super suspicious of all the job offers I've been getting as a neefag driver and asking questions here have helped. I know Schneider has dedicated OTR accounts for Wal*Mart and Dollar Store but they also really push team driving so I'm going to keep options open. The only puppy mill company I haven't made contact with have been CSRT (for obvious reasons) and Prime. I may contact Prime within a month.

How much of a cuck can one man be? Busting your ass for cuck pay to support another man's kids and a woman who is literally cucking you and living with another man. Fiance too, not even legally married in any sense.

Where are you going? NW side okayish. The rest...... Who knows. Check road conditions. Yesterday i10 was 5ft under water in Winnie east of Houston and 59 was closed NE of the city near Livingston. 59 might be open next but is probably still under water in city limits. US90 is blocked in Crosby due to a chemical plant cooking off.

Question: Why don't more flatbedders use Conestogas? Somebody pointed out the differences between one and a curtainside several threads ago, so I figured I'd ask the correct question this time. Eliminating the need to tarp seems like it'd save a lot of downtime and stress on the body. What're the downsides?

Price (15k and up), weight (2500 lbs), sorta obstructs access to part of the bed for loading, can't haul excess width freight anymore (or excess height if for some reason a dropdeck isn't an option or it's already a dropdeck). Mostly price and weight. If you're old and/or obese, just find a different specialization altogether, other well paying stuff exists, flatbedding is for the young and fit.

>>
I think my truck got flooded in the storm
>>
>>17806525
$15k upfront, $6k every 5 years, and $500-$10k every time you or a loader fucks up, which is about every 3 months. My current hauling capacity is 46.5k lbs, and in a market where 48k is the norm, dropping that to 44k would really restrict my options for something I don't even need 75% of the time, when the alternative costs me $700 every 2 years and an extra 2 hours when shit is absolutely bananas, in which case a customer typically would have ordered a connestoga anyway.

Is it just this one guy perpetuating this meme in a poor attempt to feign superiority over "door swingers" while he's parked at the very back of the lot in the dirt because he couldn't back into a spot like anyone with tandems could? Because I don't know if you've ever actually tarped or secured anything, it's not difficult or strenuous at all. Annoying and bothersome, yes, highly, but nothing an obese 50 year old can't do. Unless you're into some specialized transport, but run of the mill tarping and strapping isn't hard.

That's a cute second trailer. I've never seen a full size trailer this short.

Kek, have fun with that. TF can handle the new requirements since his shit is paid for and he's not covering a fuckhuege loan payment(s) every month like you are.

Nobody in this general cares about you, your overrated truck or that mentally unstable crack whore.

You're a fucking retard and most defenitely not the super trucker you claim to be.

Don't even have that many mods. A few minor tweaks like Realistic Building Lights v2.2, Schwarzmüller trailers in traffic and liftable axles for default trailers.

I also have a few trailer mods, the one pictured in the other post is the Kraker Walking Floor v1.3. Another really high quality trailer mod is the Krone Container 4axe (sic), currently on v1.27, but not causing any noticable problems in game version 1.28. The Krone 4Achs Jumbo v1.27 is neat as well, but it's having some issues with metal surfaces appearing black in game version 1.28.

Trucks I rotate through as I see fit. The one in that picture is the Freightliner FLD v1.5. Absolutely flawless except for a headlight misplacement that's really bugging me.

Currently I'm using the Volvo VNL670 v1.5.2 made for game version 1.27 with a hot fix for game version 1.28, but it sometimes has issues with incorrectly colored metal surfaces as well.

Another high quality truck mod is the Kenworth K200 v14.0 for game version 1.27, not causing problems in game version 1.28 either, and of course the RJL Scania 2.2.1 ready for game version 1.28.

Map mods I haven't gotten into at all so far, but I might install Promods at some point in the future.

I had a calm discussion with my trainer and let him know that I dont appreciate him constantly cursing and yelling at me and that I will request to be removed from his truck asap.
Hes been really quiet since then. Even offered to buy me dinner at Applebee's bit ive already made up my mind.
What is the likely hood i will be put in a new truck on the basis he scares and stresses me?

Is it true one would have to sleep in the same cab(bunk bed) with the trainer?

Wouldn't one just be able to rent a motel so the trainer can stay in the truck?
>>
>>17816052
You sleep on the top bunk(but never when hes driving)
if you're trainer is willing to find a rest stop with a hotel nearby.
My current trainer is a huge slob who hasnt showered in 2 weeks and has anger issues so i just want a different one but im not sure if "he won't stop yelling at me" is a good enough reason for them to put me with someone else.

Someone ls help, i want to be a trucker but not with this asshole of a trainer

>>17816052
You can't really do that because you are trying to get some rest while he is on-duty. It's basically team driving, there's no down time unless you're at a shipper. Also even if you were by yourself, you would never make any money if you try to get motel rooms all the time.

Guys, is it better to own your own truck or to drive a company's truck? What if one is new to truck driving?
>>
>>17816360
Sounds good to me unless you live in a higher-income area.
>>17816450
99% of OTR gigs pay by the mile. Shit ones pay by the mile as the crow flies, sometimes they'll even shaft you further by calculating from nearest ZIP code boundary of shipper to consignee. Decent gigs will pay by the real mileage traveled. Better gigs will pay the same pay per mile whether you're loaded or empty, but they pay less per mile. A lot of those "WE PAY $0.55 PER MILE STARTING" are as-the-crow-flies ZIP-to-ZIP gigs. Company gives you a fuel network card to use at the pump. >>17816455
If you're new, drive company equipment for a couple years or more while you're learning/making mistakes. Then you can decide if you want to keep driving company equipment for the lack of headaches/risk involved or pick up your own truck for the higher (potential) income.

I been on this thread 3 years. Sorry You missed it.
We are both signed to the same broker who we give 15% to do the brokering, fuel tax, etc

When I commandeered the freightliner century I didn't have experience to sign to the broker my dad was signed to. I drove it out of a local flatbed outfit and got lucky. Lied about experience. Than went to work for about 3 months before the piece of shit blew a head gasket. Than ecm took a shit.
And almost a year into it I had to pull the head yet again for a smoked cam. (You must of missed the thread where I had my head pulled off myself).

I get ZERO money from my dad and I borrowed his shitty truck long enough to learn how to drive by myself. Infact I gave him 5k cash last year cause he was near broke paying for my sisters education.( who is now an RN)
