If the farmers daughter has a hotter sister you better let a brother know. The trucker life has me on a 1 year dry spell.

In other news the guy I trained a few weeks ago had a contaminated load 2 weeks ago, right after he got off 3 month probation for being new. He's now back on probation and already looking for a new job because we "push too hard". Fucking guy is 23, did one year of college and has had like 8 jobs.

Word up.
I did my first job Monday night delivering a Renault tractor unit.

There were three of us, as my first job I thought I would follow the lead. Should have taken a max of 4 hours, 3.5 as there was no traffic, no roads closed.
So it tuck us 5 hours and I got an infringement on the tacho because we stopped and I didn't put it on break fast enough, then the cunt went the wrong way four times, wrong lane on every round-about, wrong exit most the time.
Doing 30 odd in a 60 zone???
It tuck us 6.5 hours, then another 4 hours on the drive back in a hire car.
I did the second stint in the hire car and did an average of 100mph taking off 30 minutes of the satnav time.
Total working shift of 12 hours when it should have taken no more than 9.

I went into the office yesterday and complained, the other driver also complained about the lead driver.
Should be doing second job today for the same company.

It can only get better right?

I did enjoy it, I'de be happy doing this for a few months to get me into it.

Because it was my first fuckin job as a driver dickbut, so i thought I would just sit at the back and follow.

By the third wrong turn I was considering just fucking off on my own.
Next time I will, or next time I'll lead.

I suppose it proves age is no substitute for experience, no , wait, wot?

Has anyone considered trying to go back to school while driving? I mean, I get that 70hr weeks are rough, but some courses now are at your pace, so long as you get all work done by a certain date. I'm not digging this driving thing as much as I use to. Kind of wanna build the roads and control the traffic for you niggers to drive on.

>>17258806
Put some renters in it. No reason to sell unless rental rates are abysmal in that area. If you move to Houston make sure you move to the east side or at least downtown. All the trucking companies are east of 59. I live west of Houston and that means I'm over two hours away from any local jobs I've found. Saia was hiring a couple months ago, HEB has a big DC in town, there must be a Kroger nearby as well. Unfortunately though, outside of ltl and grocery everything else seems to want hazmat tanker or flatbed experience.

So what are you grossing? If you're really hitting 60-70hrs and making time and a half over 40hrs, that sounds like a ton of work but some nice fuckin paychecks.

How many miles or km trucks usually do they go out of service?
more than a car right?

>>17260226
With trucks and diesel engines, they have numbers (B10 and B50?) that show how long it will be on average for 10% or 50% of those trucks to need a complete overhaul.

Anyway they do last longer than cars. The diesel engines and everything else are overbuilt. They also do a lot of highway driving. But for US OTR semi trucks, it seems like 1,000,000 mi is similar to ~150,000mi in a car where some big stuff will start to fail and you are likely to have a repair coming soon where it's a better option financially to get rid of the truck. 300k mi on those trucks is just starting to break them in.

With out fleet trucks, the small format trucks (more like medium-duty) get to around 200k-300k before they are getting trashed. But you have to remember, they're only doing about 50mi a day, but it's all city driving, stop and go, and starting the ignition about 20 times a day. If those things did more highway miles, they would be doing 500k+ no problem. Our large format trucks which are a little larger and heavier, like the OTR trucks but without a sleeper cab, they are doing around 500k-600k miles before they have major issues and get retired. But that's still city driving and maybe 100mi a day with 6-8 stops. Those trucks would easily do 1mil miles if it were highway driving.

>>17261753
Interesting. I find a surprisingly high number will let you over. More than a few will anticipate you needing over and will stay back, though not far enough to make it clear they're staying back, when I'd really rather they went ahead and passed.

If he decides to merge into the middle lane while im already there thats his fault.
>>17261753
Yeah specially in commiefornia where everyone is only thinking "IM" going to be late if i dont save these 2 seconds.

how hard is driving a truck? ive drove a 5 speed car before a couple times and at first i stalled alot even once in the road but i got to move a diesel pickup today at work and i didnt even press the gas and just letting off the clutch it would go and ddnt even cone close to stalling

is that how heavy trucks are? like do you have to be careful to bot stall when starting off or do they have enough torque not to like i mentioned with the pickup?

also how hard is shifting on an unsyncronised transmission?

Does anyone carry a weapon in their truck?

>>17262105
It wouldn't take long to get used to it, you just need to get in the habit of double clutching. Stalling is rare unless you start in a gear too high for the weight you're pulling. Shifting is easy but you shift more often since gears are short and plenty.

>>17262110
I carry a knife, and I may get a billy club. Other than that I'd have a firearm if they were legal to have in my truck.

>>17259428
That's clearly a box truck.

>>17262158
That's actually a day cab with a short trailer by the looks of it champ

>>17262147
before you drove a truck had you only ever drove automatics or were you good with manuals? i really wanna learn to drive one at a truck school thats a few weeks long but ive only drove a 5 speed on the road a few times and anytime i had tp start on a hill id either spin and squeal the tires or stall. is startibg on hills difficult in a truck too or do you have enough torque not to roll back?

thanks and sorry to annoy you

>>17260189
I only do four days per week, three days off in a row. We use electric pallet jacks as well, so it's not particularly hard, either. I'm never below $1,500 gross per week. Work a second job on the three day streak.

>>17262105
At first it shows its differences than a standard car or pickup. Being patient with yourself is key. Just like the pickup, you'll roll out of every gear depending on your weight. Once you're moving, just shift timely. In school you'll learn of gear steps and such, including how to double clutch. But afterwards you get comfortable with it and just float gears. I only clutch when I take off from a dead stop anymore. It's a learning curve, like learning how to ride a bike.

what does /TFG/ think about serial hybrids?

>>17262182
so you dont have to give it fuel and clutch to get started like gas burners, thats awesome. also in the 5 speed ive drove a few times (i wasnt great btw) i had trouble starting on hills when i would practice and id spin and squeal the tires or stall would startibg on hills be easier in a diesel semi or do you have to know the clutch real well? thank you

>>17262167
Starting on a hill is the same in a car. Keep your foot on the brake, release the clutch until it grabs, apply throttle when clutch seats. In a car you'd want to throttle up when your clutch grabs, but unless you're starting uphill on a 7% grade with 40Tonnes, deep under will pull you up no prob

>>17262167
I'd only ever had autotragic cars so I picked up pretty quickly. But most guys in my class drove manual cars and it didn't take them long at all to catch on, again it's just getting in the habit of double shifting. Hill starts aren't an issue either, it's about selecting the correct gear. Even on inclines I can safely start with third gear on most loads.

>>17258561
I'm doing it wrong, I've had five jobs in 16 years, go motor coach driving.

>>17262203
as far as learning to park parrallel and back in places how hard is that to get down? i never like to parrallel park a car in real life but one the test in a car it was easy but because it was small

think i cpuld learn it in a 17 day class

>>17262199
>>17262203
Pretty much this. You get a feel for it. You had the right idea before, these things pack torque. They put power to the wheels more than everyone's daily honda civic could dream of. Once you get in one and learn, it'll make sense.

>>17262227
Don't sweat it... Seriously, they train foreigners with busted English and no verifiable education this shit at CR England every week. The trailer moves where you want it to. Take your time, get out and look if it's hairy, and don't worry. Every week we see people struggling. Its a part of learning. No one left their mommas womb with an 18 speed in their hand and a peterbilt hat on.

>>17262245
thanks man its nice to learn that id stand a chance even though ive really only drove autos

thanks again

>>17262195
in theory it's great for applications like trucks where weight is't a significant factor. electric motors are super simple and offer instant power, also breaks up the whole drive train into separate components that can be replaced independent of each other, can be more reliable, but that is more up to the individual design

If it's less than 18" from the road, iirc.

>>17260226
My freightshaker got about 1.17 million miles oom it before the engine blew. Threw in a new (used) one for slightly less than the value of the truck, and with a new set of injectors it should keep going at least another 500,000 miles before it hits a repair that's higher than the value of the truck. At that point I'll sell it and it'll probably spend another million miles pulling containers or 10 years pulling grain 3 months a year.

Typical life expectancy of a company truck is about 5 years before they sell it so it's someone else's problem.

>>17262195
Breddy gud. Off the line acceleration is one of the weak points of 14L motors, and and electric motor is a fine bandaid on that. I might build one when I get a truck I actually like.

There are no laws restricting firearms in cmvs. The laws of what ever locality apply though, ie 10 round mags in California, no gunz at all in NYC or Chicago. There's a reason every truck stop in New York state sells locking gun safes.

>>17263288
There's also the fact that most customers, carriers and scale houses will not allow you to carry them onto or in their property. The legality is tricky and it's probably easier to not carry than risk losing your job and having that on your DAC.

>>17261930
Lel. Not in FL. One of my bosses has his permit and yesterday we were cruising around all afternoon so he could get some practice. He was getting nervous trying to change lanes because nobody wants to let trucks in front of them and I had to teach him the old trick where you just have to drift into the other lane when a car wants to ride along the side of the trailer. He was so happy the first time he tried it and it worked flawlessly.

>>17263267

>>17264492
You can't win em all. Lots of people leave Pepsi and go to the food companies like Sysco or Gordon because they hear they are making $1000/wk after taxes. Then they go over there and realize they have to work 70hrs a week including Saturdays and then they come back to Pepsi because making $800/wk after taxes and only working 40hrs M-F aint so bad.

GFS. The Restaurant Depot type stores. Dude went there for like 6 months and he came back to Pepsi. He said the final straw was when he hit his 14hrs, just brought the truck back empty, and they tried have him clock out and go take 2 more stops in a van. It was so bad that dude walked out.

I think he said it may have been a little less frustrating because chefs tend to be cooler than Walgreens managers but the pay wasn't much better and they wanted him to work stupid hours over there.

After weeks of reading reviews and shit I've narrowed my list of companies to apply to down to

K&B
Medium sized reefer hauling mainly Tyson
Reviews seem to be 50/50 between great and terrible so I'm assuming they're at least decent
Best pay for reefer I've found
Trucks have APUs, inverters, fridge/microwave

Holland Enterprises
Small reefer
Zero reviews, must be good right
Claim average length of 1600 miles
good pay for reefer
APUs, invert, etc

Glendenning Brothers
Small non hazmat tanker
Zero reviews
APUs, invert, etc
I'm really interested in getting into tanker
Claim to run drivers out of their home address, home weekly
Small family company might be great might not

1845 oilfield services
Frac sand
Mostly negitive reviews
Don't really want to do oilfield
Only company I've found that offers the hometime I want 2 weeks out, 3 days off but you have to leave the truck at a terminal and they are all 3 to 4 hours away.

I'm currently looking into Oakley and AR has more options.

I drive for a big corporate carrier that has had elogs for years and I've been pulled in/over for Level 2's and had the trooper examine the history graph pages for the last eight days. You're supposed to have a paper log in the truck at all times as a back-up to the elog. At least one of our trucks got busted a couple of months back for not having the elog quick reference guide available which set off a three-day bitchfest by Safety about making sure you have them etc.

Also they log quite a lot. They're constantly throwing location flags of towns and shit no one has ever heard of but are on the map as you travel. You're also supposed to notate what's going on during On-Duty time such as Vehicle Inspection, Fueling, Maintenance, and so on.

Are those the tunnels outside of Kansas City. What an awful place.

I worked for Holland Enterprises a few years ago, and they were decent to work for, but I would go with 'great plains transport' instead. The two companies are owned by two brothers, and the latter is smaller and seems to take better care of their drivers. I can give you more specifics if you are interested. A lot of long runs is true, but when you're at dock be prepared to wait as there is no drop/hook.

I haven't worked for k&b but have heard nothing but negative things. Would definitely avoid.

Nice projection, but you're the only one ranting about "paranoia" and "it" and "them" and "the unknown." The guys you were originally responding to were simply pointing out that crime exists and it might be useful to have a gun to defend yourself from that crime. So either you think self-defense is wrong, or you don't think crime exists. Either way you're a delusional cuckold.

I was thinking of going to Prime and doing refrigerated with their lightweight trucks.
I think I could get used to the space but a 65000lb trailer being towed by a 15000lb truck sounds like suicide, and going down a road like I10 in Louisiana would make your teeth fall out. At least in this big Peterbilt I get a false sense of security and a decent ride.
Mostly those little trucks look like they'd be fun and easy to back. Practically a daycab.

More likely the driver has to take a pay cut. "But, Anon you can get those loads that other drivers with heavier trucks can't which means you'll have so many more loads to do and that's where you'll make more!" Blah.

More like they're trying to see how little a truck they can get away with and still get people to drive them. Probably going to try to do OTR with daycabs soon.

I don't know who hurt you but your salt levels are lethal man.
Prime already pays more than pretty much any other major player and yes the lightweight drivers get more pay on top of that.
And it would be more inconvenient for the average shipper because they already know how much an average truck weighs, so they're used to loading about 42000, you would have to arrange ahead of time so they could put those two extra pallets on

A driver and I were echochambering about how much hos sucks and we decided they should change hours of service to miles of service.
We figure that stressed drivers are more dangerous than tired drivers and hos creates far more stressed drivers than it prevents tired drivers. Our plan was to remove the 11hr/70hr clocks and implement 700mi/4000mi counters (those numbers might be a little high but I figure ooida would lose their shit if they were any lower). This would,
Create safer drivers by not imposing time restrictions on everything they do and allowing them to drive at a safer pace instead of creating a direct correlation between driving fast and making money
Be easier to track with elds by just reading the hub instead of drivers trying to cut corners by driving off duty or whatever
Save fuel by allowing drivers to drive more conservatively without being punished for it
But I figure I'm not the first person to think of this and either way the gubment doesn't care about truckers so they'll just keep adding more restrictions and going "but look accidents are declining so that means restrictions help"

It is to laugh. When this whole trucking thing inevitably falls apart for you, you could have a promising career writing humorous prose.

Why do these fuckers always speed and tailgate people on the highway? Not surprising that they cause so many accidents

>>17272241
Because they're paid by the load. The more loads they can run in a day means more money.

>>17272241
because dump truck drivers are even dumber than health and safety inspectors/civil engineers on the construction site totem pole

>>17272241

Those cunts, whenever I'm near them on the highway, they are either doing 50mph or 75mph. Never a reasonable speed. And you gotta love when they are loaded and hit a pothole and tons of pebbles fly at your truck/car.

Sorry for taking awhile to get back to you anon, but here are a few details. Also there is a pretty long thread on the truckers report for both holland and great plains. I only worked for Holland, so everything I know about great plains take with a grain of salt.

Holland
>Standard freight shaker trucks, but new and we'll maintained
>Trucks have a lot of add on like an inverter, satellite TV and radio, and fridge, but also some nanny shit like on guard. No drive cam though.
>Pay is not great, starts at .40/mile. Great plains is a little higher.
>Average runs are over 1500 miles which is great, but be prepared for long waits at customers since there is no drop and hook outside of terminal swaps in Fargo.
>Good csa score so little to no scale time
>You are expected to stay out 3 weeks minimum since they run such long trips, but they are flexible on home time.

Good luck

I pulled into a DC to drop a load this morning to find no shit 25ish of my company's trucks bobtail. 8 were waiting on an empty, the rest on loads, about half had been sent there to pick up the same load. I loled heartily and got the fuck out of there. Passed two more company trucks pulling loads into there on the way out. Got to one of the several nearby truckstops, found 5 more bobtails. Works for me, watched Monaco this morning, watching Indy now, and gonna watch the redneck 600 tonight.
