Not in hiding. She just simply hasn't posted any new videos, never mind trucking or RV related vids. The few she has posted don't include any footage of herself so I have nothing to report on. Also I automatically discard anything with her boyfriend in it so there is that.

Wannabe trucker here working on getting my license and then CDL. I had a question. Are curtainsides actually useful? I know there's some loads you couldn't take because of height and width, but it just seems so much more efficient.

>Arrive
>Roll curtain
>Load
>Secure
>Roll curtain again
>Leave everyone else tarping

IDK. Maybe I'm wrong because I've never seen that side of the industry (father pulled dry vans) but it seems like the easiest way to pull skateboards and make that money while having to do the least work.

You can't limp a trailer to a shop without lights and brakes? wtf
>>
>>17398157
Curtainsides are shit. Connestogas are the shit.
>>
>>17398157
Can't crane load them, so about 30% of steel loads are out. Can't realty haul anything over 7' tall or 96" wide. A Conestoga is a better choice, but one minor load shift, parking lot scrape, low hanging tree branch, heavy snow load, or forklift bump and you're out $500-$10,000 in repairs.

Some dudes were talking about keeping their trucks clean but I didn't pay attention because who cares? But I just moved into a new cumknee truck and realized that the one I'd grown accustomed to was actually dirty as fuck and roses smell like shit.
So my question is what hardware do you use to clean? I can figure out lightweight stuff like ragging on the dash but what about like vacuums and stuff. Do you mop? I see those blow guns you hook up to the seat but I wonder if it would actually do anything other than just blow the dirt around
>>
>>17401781
t. grub
>>
>>17401781
this is what I do with the airgun
>vacuum floor to remove loose debris
>soak floor, dash, cup holders, vents etc with interior cleaner spray
>with airgun in right hand, I cover it with a microfiber in my left hand, blow against floor, dash, whatever and the microfiber catches all of the shit before it blows away

just make sure you work from the top down, don't forget about the headliner and visors because those are always overlooked and if you have a vinyl floor or dash you can use a small amount of tire shine to make it look nicer but be careful because it can make your shoes slippery.
>>
>>17401781
I use the blow gun to clean the dirt off my shoes (or feet) before I get into the truck, it's pretty nice.

>>17400396
Dang buddy that's pretty optimistic. Just focus on getting the hang of things for a few months, then maybe we'll talk about take home pay

also if at all possible roll your windows up before driving in a gravel yard, you've got a lot of tires kicking up a lot of dirt and it will all blow into the cab when you come to a stop.

OK thanks I was wondering what the places in the valley charged. Still deciding if I want to go take the written at the DMV first then find a school. They used to have a class at Allan Hancock college but I don't want a associates in transportation technology.
>>
>>17404432
The tests, if we are thinking of the same one, costs $73, and require: birth certificate, Social Security ID, Driver's License, and Proof Of Residency. They tend to show you and help you pass the written test. I still need to go take mine.
>>
>>17404440
Ya I can go to the DMV and pay and take the written anytime to get a permit. if you want a hazmat you need to do a fingerprint background check also. Oh but you need to go get your medical physical card first before. Was the class you took the 48hr?
>>
>>17404440
The real problem it seems is that no one will hire you without 1-2 years prior experience for insurance. So finding a company to apprentice with that isn't Swift or the others will be difficult it seems. No where local will hire me so I have to go to Iowa or something to drive.
>>
>>17404471
Oh yeah, I've heard of that one. However, according to the books, if you pay for the "Advance" package, they help you get placed into a trucking job without you having to search. And every trucker I've talked to near me always says the first two years, they are gonna bend you over and rape you. But I already have a job thanks to family. Once I have my license, I'll be hauling material from Fresno, CA to Oakland, CA, at about $150/trip.

I don't know if there are refs that dictate that, but if it wasn't a retread then it was a manufacturer defect.

The Midwest was a bit flat ratewise when I got my truck back. Normally I would have just cherrypicked loads and worked 2-3 days a week, but having been out of work for 8 weeks I was compelled to chase some shekels. Found a pipeline project in Wisconsin that had a decent rate bringing in line from New Orleans, but rates were shit on direct loads back, and they only ship Monday and Tuesday at 0700, so I've been taking indirect routes back down there.
>>
>>17404815
I was thinking interstate but sounds like that's a good way to build up toward that or just a decent job in general. I kinda want to haul gravel local but seems like u gotta wait for someone to die of old age to get in here local. Of course most of the gravel guys are too busy picketing their Union jobs on the side of the road to drive.
>>
I feel like before I started trucking, I thought truckers had a pretty bad reputation because of how they're usually portrayed in the media. But after having become a trucker, it seems like most people have a fairly favorable opinion of the industry. When someone finds out my profession, they usually seem genuinely interested in what I did and how I do it, and they want to hear stories and stuff. I wonder if it's just because I'm incredibly different from the stereotypical trucker. Do you feel peoples' opinion of you is influenced positively or negatively by what you do?

t. someone who's never actually tried making this phone call. The real conversation goes more like
>hi I have a delivery can you unload me early?
>oh, then can you transfer me to receiving?
>did you say this was shipping? I asked her to transfer me to receiving. Can you transfer me?
>h-hello?
>hi, it's me again, can you transfer me to receiving?
>yeah hi receiving I have a question about this delivery, bol#N012345
>uhm, I don't have a number that starts with 100.
>oh, okay I didn't know you had 2 receiving departments, what's the number for them?
>*repeat transferring process*
Then you get put on hold for 3 minutes while some dude ruffles through papers and tells you no

Hey /TFG/

looking to buying my first truck/jeep.

>23 y/o college student

any advice? i'm selling my current car (04 scion xb) and i'm ready for a big boy car.

And where do you get the phone number? Google maps is usually wrong and my company doesn't give me a customer's number. They actually tell us not to call customers.

Yeah sometimes, more often than not it's just a security guard who can barely muster the effort to tell you no. But at least you know.

>>17407008
>Google maps is usually wrong
Bullshit even if it is it's worth trying

>company doesn't give me a customer's number. >They actually tell us not to call customers.
Then call your dispatch and tell them to tell PTLs customer service or what ever they're called there to call the customer and find out for you.
If they can't do that, maybe it's time to move to a real company.
>>
>>17406522
>>17406736
If there's a place that's NOT likely to unload you early or have parking, it's a grocery DC.

If you know you're going to a grocery DC just figure on no parking, you can't check in more than 2 hours early, it's always live unload, they will be a minimum of 2 hours late getting you in a door, and that you will be there 6-8 hours. Sometimes they do well but more often that not you'll be totally fucked at every step so just plan on it.

Considering your in Socal if your not opposed to buying a pickup you might want to look at a Gen 1 (1996-04) Tacoma, since you live in an area that doesn't see snow you won't have to worry about rust which is really the only thing that kills em and engine wise they'll outlast a Ranger or Dakota by a fair margin.

If you go with an extended cab road trips with three people are pretty comfortable, and you can throw a cap on the back to give you tons of cargo space, plus if you decide to get a bike you won't have to worry about getting a trailer like you would with an SUV.

I've gone back to the stock lights for now, got a round of maintenance coming up in a month. Timing belt, water pump, VGC, coolant flush and new thermostat, probably will do some other small odds and ends that any 300k mile car needs.

Let's talk radios. I have a 35w that is tuned to stock FL Cascadia antenna and I bought a cophased setup that mounts on the mirrors. I have had people tell me to point the antennas forward and people tell me to point the straight.

The dual antennas are kinda pointless no one will notice if your range is less one one side of truck vs other. there is a difference between coax too for cophase vs single. pointing the antennas forward used to be done so when the wind hit your limp dick antennas they would stand up straight. your not going to beam the signal to the guys in front by pointing your antennas at them that's not how an omnidirectional antenna works. Make sure your antenna is as high as u can mount it with as much clearance from metal around it. make sure the mount is grounded by using multimeter then check your swr and tune the antenna for length. Or just find yourself CB shop and pay them to do the install bonus you can get overcharged for a linear amp from them instead of just ordering one online.

CATs are quickly becoming orphan engines seeing as they stopped making engines for highway vehicles back in 2007.

After seeing the cost of CAT parts it's easy to see why people stick with Cummins or Detroit.

Neat. I was looking at the 3306 yesterday when I was digging but didn't have enough refrence to say for sure.

My old KW has a VT-903 cummins in it, which was a contemporary of the 1674, and those old motors have their appeal, but in the wrong hands they're boat anchors.

Got a serious contender for my dumbest dispatch ever. Got a load going from Laredo to San Diego, but the shipper is in Monterey and the receiver is in Ensenada. Now, geography wasn't my strongest subject, but I feel like there should be a more efficient way to get from Mexico to Mexico that doesn't involve crossing the US border twice.

1.5 mountain ranges, the gulf of California, a few national parks, mexico being mexico, and you're still getting there faster sitting at a border crossing for 5 hours twice. There aren't really any more direct routes between the two that aren't in the US. It's an extra 200km and /11 hours/ to run through Mexico.

>still trying to quit update
Supposed to turn in truck today. Woke up with a flat tire, waiting on tire guy. Receiver for final load is 580 miles away, terminal is another 100 past that. Impossible to do at 62mph. I guess I can handle one more night in a truck, I'd just yolo and violate my logs but it would be the third time this week due to all the shit loads and bullshit they've put me through this week.
>>
>>17424050
It's almost like you should have just dropped the truck off at the terminal and never come back, instead of giving your 2 week notice like a good goy
>>
>>17424256
Right, because getting hit with an abandonment of equipment is a great idea
>>
>>17424373
They can't record you with abandonment of equipment if you leave it at a terminal. If your trailer is loaded, it IS load abandonment, but if you happened to be empty they can't do anything about it

>>17424516

I actually didn't even drink a single one. It wasn't my truck and the shit was in there when I got in. I'm more of a coffee guy myself ;^)

And with all of the broken shit, pretty much just people try to drink it or they might attempt to repack a couple cases (not worth the effort) and then they donate some to various places and the rest gets tossed in the garbage.

The past couple months with spring and the start of summer, they came out with a lot of new stuff and tons of stores had resets with new shit coming in so they had to return so much good product.
>>
>>17419169
I should take a pic of my fridge. There's like $200 worth of Starbucks, Muscle Milk, and Naked Juice in there. I don't even really drink the stuff, but when it comes back broken the girl at the gate is basically like "Just take it! Somebody will drink it!" and meanwhile about $75 retail worth of Blue Machine is about to expire.
>>
>>17424531
Of course I'm assuming you would do the reasonable thing any reasonable person would do and tell them what you're doing. If you just leave it there and stop answering their phone calls o guess a case could be made, but they can't do jack shit if you call them up and say "Hey, I quit. I'm parking the truck at your terminal, the doors are unlocked and the keys are in there goodbye."
If you didn't do that, I'm guess a case could be made but most companies wouldn't even bother because they know where the truck is at all times and all they really care about is having it close to put another dude into
>>
>>17424567
> "Hey, I quit. I'm parking the truck at your terminal, the doors are unlocked and the keys are in there goodbye."
And then you'd get a nice big red mark on your DAC for abandonment of equipment. And good luck explaining that to any future potential employer.
>Yeah I rejected my dispatch, drove unauthorized to the terminal, and quit with no notice, but I left the truck at the terminal
Your only hope would be if your dispatcher was too lazy to bother reporting it
>>
>>17424948
That's not quite what i meant. Wait until your hometime, as you're about to leave swing by dispatch/ management and be like "btw I'm done, peace bitches." Aren't you quitting because you have a job lined up?
>>
>not requesting an "indefinite leave of absence due to a family emergency".

They'll usually leave you as employed but inactive for 6 months, then remove you from the system. By that point you'll have been at the next carrier for months. They'll usually get you back to the terminal pretty quick, too. I said I needed to be home within 2 weeks, but was at my home terminal in 3 days, then flew straight to my orientation at F2F and got into one a week early. Got my security deposit back from Werner 8 months later after calling and asking for it.

>>17424560
Sell it on Craigslist, or offer some to anyone who buys more than $20 of weed off you.
>>
>>17425509
You should look up what "abandonment" means. Even if you abandon it at a terminal, it's still abandonment.
And what kind of arrogant, selfish asswipe world plan that far in advance to quit without notice? How shitty off a person can you be? If you're already planning you quit that far in advance, just just fucking tell them. Why go out of your way to be a prick?

Got a few questions about trucking as a career.

How much does it pay (on average)?

Is it a clusterfuck to drive a truck? Taking into account traffic, cities, etc.

Is trucking comfy?

That's all for now- figure I'll get better advice asking actual drivers than just scouring articles and such.
