Do any of you otr cuckshedders have a dog? I know the shitposter formerly known as roehltard has one. Because I'm thinking about getting one but I don't know. Is it that much of a hassle? Will the dog be happy or is it cruel to have a truckdog? Recommend breeds good for trucking? I think I'd like to have a basset hound, male. Is it too big? Will it shit everywhere and eat all my BOL's ?

I have 3 cats, they're pretty chill.

I've seen everything from chihuahuas to mastiffs in trucks. As long as you avoid a working breed like a border collie or australian shepherd, and keep it under 50lbs breed average, you should be good. If it's big enough to jump up on the seat or bottom bunk it should have enough space to move around throughout the day, with a shit stop thrown in every 4-6 hours (the norm for dogs that have hitchiked with me).

>>16913647
Around $5000 dollarydoos each. 15 hours to pull the motor, 15 hours to put the new one in, and 10 hours to figure out why the fuck it isn't running right.

I've got less then a month to decide my career and trucking seems like a decent money maker.

>>16913677

Read OP. Lurk two threads. All of your questions will be answered.

>>16913626
I used to work with a guy that had an Australian Blue Heeler as a truck dog, and he made a point of walking it/throwing a ball for it a couple of times a day so it got to run and stretch its legs. He used to let it get out on slow traffic lease roads on occasion and let it run beside the truck under 20 mph. It would go for miles without missing a beat.

>>16913633
>>16913660
Pricey venture, but I suppose that's just how it is. You bought that truck used right? Was that the original motor?

>>16913677
>go with swift. they'll train ya good.

>>16913685
Was lurking the last two threads. Just people shitting on vloggers and hating tripfags like they should. Just saw the OP. Are you able to get a student loan for a CDL? And which CDL do I need for company trucking?

Yeah, original motor, probably had an inframe on it. New motor has roughly 1,100,000 fewer miles on it.

A cylinder kit would have cost the same, but my water pump is all fucked up and the turbo is on its way out, too, so I'm going to roll the dice on a new motor and see what happens.

>>16913708
>Are you able to get a student loan for a CDL?

Yeah, megas like werner run a truck 450,000-650,000 miles, use the repair company they own to do rebuilds on them en masse, then put them in the fleet sales lot (that they also own) and mark up the rebuild to double market value on top of average market value for the truck, plus a bit more if they had to run it through the body shop.

>>16913660
That's not too bad desu, I'm sure you'd rather not have to pay but I was expecting like $8000 to do it.

Is it really all that bad to work for Prime? My best friend worked for them and they would apparently alternate between bitching about fuel consumption and not being "early enough"

I'm not a truckerfag but I do lurk your threads every so often. What happens when you guys get into a wreck? Either you hit someone or something or vice versa. Is it like a suspension or something?

>>16915749

We don't do local we do have dedicated and regional dedicated. If you can get on with them it's max comfy but you have to live near the area to qualify and most of those spots have a 3 or 4 year waiting list.

>>16915758
All depends on the situation. If you have been around awhile with a clean record, even if the accident is bad and 100% your fault, not much will happen. Worst is maybe a "safety meeting" where a boss or HR person gives you a little slap on the wrist.

On the other hand you could be a cocky new guy like Eminem and take out a utility pole and get shitcanned real fast.

The doggos get used to it pretty quick, you just gotta be patient while they adjust to the (lack of a) routine.

I think basset hound would be a good choice. They have shorter hair and aren't too big. I'd say my blue heeler is right at the edge of being too big / too much hair. She's manageable, but I would not want to go any bigger.

If the pay as better, and you could do things like 2 months on 1 month off or something, I would be a trucker. But my uncle was a trucker. Fuck that home every third weekend bullshit.

I have thought about buying a ram diesel and just doing some hotshotting, but I'm scared to invest the money in the truck and no work come in.

Do you still live in an oil and gas development area, seeing as you used to work for Halliburton?

There are lots of oilfield related driving jobs that would bring you home every night, and pay better than otr.

I drive and operate a hot oiler, which is used to heat and pump fluid down oil wells to melt naturally occurring wax deposits that prevent pumpjacks from working properly. It pays well and brings me home every night.

Here are some ideas that may be up your alley. A lot of them have some physical field work involved, so bear that in mind. Some, depending on the company or the industry down there might have some hotel staying involved, so you'd have to do some asking around to be certain.

Hot oiling, oilfield cementing, fluid/acid pumper, wellhead service/technician, delivering potable water to rig site shacks, vac truck, combo vac, hydrovac/hydrodig, local fuel delivery for fracs/drilling rigs, acid/solvent hauling for fracs/acid squeezes, flatbedding pallets of mud chemicals to drilling rigs, picker truck, winch truck/Texas bed truck, pressure truck, bop/pipeline/facility pressure testing, power tongs/tong hand.

100,000/year is the norm. I think I only drove 290,000 of the 400k, since it was a company truck when I first bought it and I threw a driver in it as long as I could tolerate.

Is it Bison?

Looking at some local driving job ads on Indeed, a lot of them want at least two years of experience, but if there is an immediate demand, they may be willing to be a lot more flexible.

If you want out of your current job, once on home time, I would start going around to local trucking outfits in your area and ask to talk with whomever does hiring and see what they say.

Bring a fresh, updated resume and a copy of your 5 year commercial drivers abstract (or the equivalent in your province of residence) to show how serious you are about it.

If they say not at the moment, do a followup a couple of weeks to a month after that to check in.

A lot of employers, especially guys that own a company and are still involved with the day to day operations like people that are committed and show tenacity, within reason. I got my foot in the door at a previous employer when they had literally over sixty resumes on hand at any given time during the last oil/gas recession because I checked in a couple of times to show how serious I was.

I have no idea what this post has to do with trucking, but since you got triples I'm gonna reply.

Since the mid '90s, Nissan Sentras have consistently made around 25+ mpg. I'm going to be nice and assume that yours gets 30 mpg.

Assuming you drove 3 hours one way, 6 hours round trip at 65 mph and 30 mpg you burned approximately 13 gallons of gasoline.

If you live in a place where the price of gas is close to the national average of $2.32 per gallon, it means that it cost you $30.16 just to make the trip.

This makes your net savings $19.84 (not adjusting for value of used vs. value of new)

Therefore, this means you value your own time at $3.31/hr. or lower.

If it was 6 hours one way you should consider kys

Is it ok to stop for bad weather or does it make you a huge pussy faggot? There's a tornado warning right where I'm supposed to go through, horrible looking storm on the radar and probably flooding. I told dispatch I'm letting it blow through and they didn't seem to mind. I don't get paid enough to drive into a tornado.

>>16924488
I would drive but if the rain gets too shitty and it's hard to see, just pull over. Might as well take a break if you can't see and traffic is moving at 10mph anyway.

It's how we remove retard. The underpasses flood in about twenty mins and inevitably 2 or 3 dumdums drive into them and die. They ended up putting railroad crossing guards at some of the real bad ones.

>>16924574
That's actually pretty neat. You'd think they'd figure out how to prevent the road from flooding somehow, but then I reckon it must be too flat there to move the water anywhere easily.

Houston actually has a great drainage system but there's nowhere for the water to go. City is built on a swamp at sea level with several bayous that drain the land further north running thru it. That plus it tends to not rain for months then rain 12 inches in 4 hours.

Five weeks at a stretch, at times.

The biggest thing with a small space like that is to be very organized and have a system.

Under the bunk I had a couple of 1.5'x2' bins filled with non perishables, bottled water and all my cooking gear.

I kept all my clean clothes and toiletries in a duffel bag, dirty clothes went into a large reusable dry cleaning bag to keep it separate for easy washing, and the power cooler I used for perishable stuff got buckled up in the bunk while driving so it couldn't roll around.

Every night when stopped I would put my cooler on the passenger seat, and the duffel bag on the floor, and had more than enough room to stretch out and relax in the bunk.

Loading and offloading frac sand with a pneumatic trailer meant that I was in and out of the truck probably six to eight times a day, for around fifteen minutes while loading, and up to an hour and a half while offloading, so it helped to prevent the onset of cabin fever.

I also made a point of spending some time out of the cab once stopped for the day if weather and locale permitted.

Before I got into it, that company did a big retrofit since it was bought used at auction, and one of the things they did was replace/reinforce the old shock system to make it stronger. Even with my cooler and duffle bag on the bed, it could hold itself up.

No, that company never did outside of a few rare circumstances long before I got hired. Lots of oilfield trucking companies will put drivers up in hotels or camps; it was ironic to see these big ass 72" studio sleeper equipped trucks consistently parked at hotel truck lots while I had to live in my tiny Pete.

Along the lines of stupid shit to get fired over you weren't actually so bad. you didn't hit something that was alive. only real reason we gave you so much shit for it was all the smack you talked, really.

>>16929600
That "Unsafe Speed" will get him. Even if all that happened but dude was doing 65mph, he would probably be straight.

I wonder what CHP and the FD will bill the company for that...

Last Volvo I drove, I think it had an Eaton 10spd, shifted really nice.

Tfag have you ever considered swapping in a Detroit 6v92 or an 8v92? If its an older COE I'm sure it's a fairly straightforward swap.

Why were Detroit 2-strokes so much more popular than Cummins? I hardly ever hear anything about the older Cummins V8 diesels.

>>16930945
Yeah i know trust me i get it from the other side it's hilarious...though looking back i should have never been at the wheel.

>>16931469

They don't call them comeaparts for nothing. The cummins 855 PT inline 6 cylinder block was so popular that the 2-strokes and V8's just about all got scrapped, but detroit didn't come out with a decent I6 until the DDEC came out in '88.

Did you hang your mentor out to dry over it?

>>16931777
No because he was a cool dude and thats just swifts stupid policy so they dont have to pay trainers.

Tell em to fuck off, 7th gear is optimal for taking corners unless it's raining or snowing.

How does this thing even take turns?

>>16932203
When I was driving a Pete it would always die in 6th. Shakers can turn 6th or 7th tho.

>>16932288
Reliable? Or some other car carrier?

I don't think those guys bump typical docks everyday like regular trucks.

>>16932288

I can take corners in 7th on the idle limit but I usually do 6th or 5th if it's super tight.

>>16932288

What all would be in a sleeper of that size? Unless it has a bathroom, I don't see what you gain other than more junk stowage.

>>16932395
I'm really bad about just putting it in neutral...

>>16932428
I saw a guy who kept a motorcycle in the back. Had a ramp that came down and everything.

>>16932437

That's not necessarily bad if you can find your next gear without thinking about it and can do it without coasting less than the length of the truck.

I coast longer than that and safety hasn't called and given me shit for it. Don't make a habit of doing it though.

>>16932449
Do they know?

I coast for dayz sometimes.

wew lads. Looks Like I've got to git gud real quick

3rd great or lower.

>>16932363
Reliable would never allow such a shitty conversion in their fleet. Based on the bay door, probably a stepdeck.

>>16932428
Older teams put both beds at the bottom bunk level because they're too old to climb into a top bunk. Other than that, kitchens and shitters are the most common, followed by showers and sofas.

I've seen a lot of fold-up beds in these things, usually covering a dinette.

There's a few older T600s running around for Reliable, some of them look kinda ragged around the edges but not as bad as that one.

>>16932437

The problem with these mega sleepers is that they greatly limit the weight you can put on the trailer. There's a reason why these mega sleepers are so popular with auto haulers and the household movers.

>>16932751
I used to do household moving. I actually do remember seeing a lot of these huge cabs now.

What the fug.

There are lots of interior videos for custom jobs like that on YouTube. Usually they end up looking like the interior of an average holiday trailer.

I just drove 4000 miles in three days, should I become a trucker?

>>16932957
No. You'd go to jail for that if you were.

>>16932978

You can only drive like 500 miles a day right? or 8 hours, lol

>>16932991
11 hours, but it's unrealistic to expect an average speed higher than 55mph.

It does seem like an ideal application for RV or small yacht interior design.

So let's say I'm the sort of autist who wants to crap on my own throne: where am I going to empty a sewage tank and refill potable water at?

>>16932957
That's impressive. I did Seattle to OKC in 36 hours as a young buck in a Nissan pickup but you've got me beat.

>>16933569
RV dumps, just like everyone else with a shitter on the road. They used to be free at rest areas, but now they're only at truckstops, campgrounds, and RV dealers. $5- $15 a dump, sometimes it depends on tank size.

>>16933598
>$5- $15 a dump

What does a shower at a plaza cost?

Also thanks. I appreciate your answers, as well as Oilfag and Primely McDitchfag.

>>16933616
If you're talking about showers at truck stops, they're usually $11 if you're paying instead of using reward points.

>>16933616
Showers are generally $6-13.

>>16933698
>>16933845
Idk how you guys do it not taking a shower daily.

I also don't know how I wake up at 4am for this bullshit I have to do. Beach route today so gotta be in there by 5am...

>having to pay for the joy of getting fungus foot

>>16934391
You can easily shower daily for free if you feel like wasting your time.

>>16934617
I fuel and then shower. It takes 20 mins. Not exactly wasting time if you make that the 30 min break.

>>16934757
Do you never eat?

>>16934779
Thats what a 10hr break is for.

Do you even time management?

>>16934779
you don't drive and eat?

>>16934784
I sure as fuck don't fast for 14 hours and call it time management. Shit like that's how you get diabeetus

>>16934824
Fuck no. I still have a little bit of self respect left.

>>16934833
You have no idea about beetus. Please meme some more.

Also enjoy wasting your time. Its easy as fuck to make some food for yourself when on break to eat while driving.
