Alright guys it's the biannual >lowesfag wants to leave his job for greener pastures post

Little background:
>start job at lowes March of last year
>raises are annual so next raise is March 2017
>due to circumstances have to go on leave Nov 2016, lowes only gives two weeks, end up staying on leave longer than two weeks, get terminated, come back in 6 days after termination, lowes rehires right away
>ask if still getting my raise, they say yes in march
>March 2017 comes, still no raise, ask HR and they said "apparently we were supposed to give you a raise when we rehired you and now the window close oops lol"
>been 4 months since march and still no raise case is in limbo
>store decides to get third driver (still only one truck at store) for more coverage
>mad as shit they are willing to add a complete 45k plus salary but cant give me a simple raise
>store night crew keeps dropping like flies, they take my load puller to night crew
>have to actually work now, spend 4hrs at store pulling orders then going to deliver

I'm started to think the cons of this job are outweighing the pros. So for shits and giggle I decided to apply at HD Supply.
>HD replies right away, they use the same equipment I have now (Straight Tandem Flatbed Truck with Forklift on back)
>they pay $23.50/hr, lowes still has me at $21.81
>HD is in the city I live, two freeway exits away
>lowes is 24 miles away one way and across a toll bridge, paying nearly $3500 (only gas and toll) a year just to have the """"pleasure""""" of working for them
>HD supply has pullers for loads, the job consists of basically what I do now but you're actually a DRIVER not a driver/puller/call center clerk

Should I go for it?
Pro for HD:
>$1.69 pay increase to $23.50/hr, full time, 8-10hr day with overtime after 8th hour
>no commute, 4 miles away from house
>already know the job since it's basically what I do right now
>benefits

Pro for Lowes:
>when its the slow season get almost whole day to myself

Go for it? y/n

>>17459013
You weighed the pros/cons to me. It's never a bad idea to try new venues, try some new work. If you got hired back so easily, if you don't enjoy HD you can go back. You're a truck driver. Go make money in a more comfortable environment.

Are you interested in hauling coal?

Because your only option is hauling coal.

>>17459063
What about the whole Country? I mean, I just want to know about the courses and requirements and shit.

>>17459076
Be 21
No one will hire you until then.

>>17459076
The world is your oyster...after you turn 21.

Until then, you can haul coal.

(I'm being cheeky but you aren't allowed to drive across state lines until you're 21)

>>17459090
Oh, what about that coal hauling though?

>>17459004
>>17459076
faggot don't post for me
i don't even type like that
>>17459086
>>17459090
yeah, i'm not expecting to get into truccing until i'm at least 21
my main concern at this point is that getting into it will be harder than i'm led to believe, but i'm not really expecting people who have tried and failed at getting hired as a trucker to be frequenting this thread anyway

>>17459101
You go to a coal mine and say "I want to haul coal from your mine to the terminal" and they'll say "here is a list of some guys we contract to do that. Go away." You'll call the first guy on the list and he will give you a job driving a 30 year old Mack for $0.75 per ton.

>>17459013
Go for it you lazy fucking faggot.

>>17459104
>my main concern at this point is that getting into it will be harder than i'm led to believe
Virtually impossible to fail unless you're completely incompetent at breathing. The hardest thing about driving a truck has nothing to do with actually operating the truck. It's the isolation.

>>17459205
>It's the isolation.
Rubbish, the hardest part is finding some where to dispose of all the lizard corpses

>>17459475
That part was easy for me. I just wish I knew how to get rid of about 50 piss jugs without anyone noticing. I can slip one or two in with my normal garbage bag without anyone noticing but I fill the motherfuckers up faster than I can get rid of em. Probably got an extra 300 pounds of piss on my drives because who knows where to get rid of all of it. Fuck.

>>17459536
Protip: just get a length of surgical tubing, a catheter and a funnel and you can piss directly into the bladder of the dead lot lizard you have in the truck. They never look for DNA there. (They seldom look for DNA on lizards but it helps to be prepared)

>>17459582
This guy trucks

>>17459205
i'm not concerned about working the job, i'm concerned about getting the job
and i'm aware that anyone that failed to do so probably won't frequent these threads, so there's going to be a bias towards people saying it's easy

Bump

I got my CDL B and have driven dump trucks and operated various heavy machinery on interstates and highways for almost 2 years now. Making right around $70k a year but I rarely get a week under 75-80 hours.

Thinking of getting my class A and going to the port. Anybody here have any info on intermodal driving?

>>17460180
I know some intermodal port drivers, they make really good money. Some of them bring home dozens of dollars a month.

>>17460180
>driving 75-80 hours/week
>thinking of going to the port
Then you'll be sitting in line for 75-80 hours a week.

I don't know whether port drivers or trash truck drivers are the worst

>>17460634
I was at the Port of Baltimore recently and those guys were mad as hell at each other, screaming and cussing each other on the radio. I vote port drivers.

>>17460634

Trick question, the Chicago Eurotrash white Volvo crowd is the worse. Especially the ones with the company name ductaped to the side of the truck.

>>17460634
They are both pretty terrible. They both love to ride in the left lane doing 50mph on a 65mph highway.

Only difference is the garbage trucks are limited to 55mph, so you can pass them. The port container cunts on 595 EB every afternoon will be doing 50mph so you pass their shitty ass old Freightshaker and then 2min later they come flying past at 70mph only to slow down to 50mpg again.

Seriously, every morning I get stuck behind the trash trucks going out at 6am. Then in the afternoon, I come back east on 595 towards the port and there's tons of containers. The trucks going to the port are all shitty ass old owner-op trucks that don't belong on the road and the dudes driving probably don't speak a word of English. To get to the port, you need to be in the left lane when 595 hits I-95, so those fuckers right in the left 2 lanes for 20+ miles before 595 ends.

I had my CDL for like 2 months before I took a job, do not recommend tho. By the time I got to orientation I had mostly forgotten everything and they were like wtf, I thought you had a CDL.

>>17462091
Wut? My class basically taught us how to pass the test and even then barely anything in the DMV book or tests is very useful when you are actually on the road.

I didn't start driving until a couple years after I got my CDL.

>>>17454313
yeah bro thanks for the advice ill think about it and also I think air compression powered landing gear is interesting too but it might be hard to make it affordable and also reliable
and yeah I watched the video

With the rise of self driving trucks IDK why dont all truckers unionize and demand a 20 year contract or threaten to go on strike
If a lot of truckers went on strike it would cripple the US economy, trucking companies would have to give in

>>17463011
Because there would be Russians and Haitians and Mexicans willing to work for $25k/yr anyway.

It sucks. It's just one of those industries where most companies would rather hire, train, and fire 50 people over the years instead of pay one good driver a wage that would keep him around. There are still a couple of good companies (think Walmart) but not many,

>>17463028
Walmart is good to their truckers?

>>17463116
Surprisingly yes. Hard to get in because most people who drive Walmart do it until they retire so there aren't many openings.

For company drivers who have moved from their training company to somewhere else where the grass is greener (except whiney because I don't think he knows what he's doing) what sort of things did you look for in costing a new company, what did you avoid, and things like that
I was looking in those brochures they have in truck stops but most of them seem like they're all the same thing with different names
I ended up finding this small refrigerated company I'd never heard of based out of my home town, they've got under 100 trucks, all Volvo, well equipped. Elogs but no qualcomm so I don't know what they use. Pay is disappointingly not much higher than what I have right now.
Thing is, I'm kinda worried I might end up missing some of the mega carrier benefits, like regular scheduled maintenance on every truck and trailer, Best Pass, fully staffed terminals all across the country, and I get pretty decent miles, usually 3000/wk except the week before I go home, that always sucks trying to get routed back.

>>17463149
I found a company with <20 trucks, and they didn't want me to have my dog, so they referred me to a company they contract with 3 trucks, and I work 5 days a week and I make the same as I did when I worked 7 days a week.

Paper logs and the company will probably go bankrupt in December when the elog mandate starts.

>>17463581
Are paper logs worth it? All I know is the elog system because its all I've done. It's easy but shit sucks like when you go 5 minutes over your 14 trying to get to a place to park, or when your trying to do a 30 minute break waiting in the fuel line and it detects you moving your truck so you have to sit an extra five minutes for the reset. Paper logs seem like they'd un-cuck you a bit but they also sound like a pain in the ass having to keep track of all the different HOS clocks. I don't even know how supertruckers can run multiple logs.

>>17462091

I've lurked trucker threads occasionally and the one thing I still don't get it is why do you guys like your job? My uncle has been working for JB for over 30 years. He is rarely home, his work hours are long, and it seems like he gets very little sleep. Everytime I point this out he just simply says " I like driving". Is it really that simple?

>>17463149

I went from LJN to a small company that runs containers. The pay and benefits as well as the home daily thing won me over as I was looking to settle a bit.

The company operates under 100 trucks and we do use ELogs but our route is pretty strict so the advantages between E and paper is not there.

>>17464398
from what i've been told, trucking's perfect for people who are ok with monotonous work, limited living space, and even more limited social contact

On the other hand a car's worth of weight has been shaved off it. Would probably be fine beyond any doubt if it were chopped a bit more to fit the front axle of the loaded vehicle in front of the rear axle of the bus.

>>17467178
Why not? As long as those frame rails are strong enough. Plus most cars are going to be 60/40 front to back so more weight will be towards that rear axle. Also big diesel engines as well as the front steering and suspension weight a lot so I don't think you would really have issues. It's not ideal to have that weight behind the rear wheels, but I doubt it's enough to make anything unsafe.

If you were to do something like that with a pickup truck that had a gasoline V6 up front, then you might want to worry about the weight behind the rear axle.

How about you lose some weight, quit telling the same lame ass stories involving your love of riding a bicycle without a seat, and realize eating dicks isn't a good replacement for meat consumption.

>>17467178

Its a terrible idea. You put a lot of weight behind the rear axle, and unless its a set back front axle you'll be taking a fair amount of weight off the front end.

>implying it's any worse than the 4200lbs of kids it was designed to load in that area
These things tare around 18,000lbs stock with a GVWR a hair under 30k. Assuming load range G tires on a 20k rear axle, and a conservative 2000lbs of body and seats dropped, with a generous 10,000lb load on the deck split 40/60 over the rear axle you're looking at about 11,000lbs on the steer axle, and 15,000lbs on the rear axle. It'll be less squirrelly than a stretched two axle bobtail at worst.

It all depends on your FM. I almost took my first job with Schneider because I think they are probably better than Swift, Werner, and your other mega operations. People have good and bad experiences at every mega, but it's usually bad. Take whatever sounds the best and is convenient, get your experience and move on if it sucks. Swift has a bad reputation but I've met drivers that swear that it's awesome. It all depends on where you are and who is dispatching you.

He did talk about how he has one more year before he retires since his youngest son just graduated college so he's waiting for him to get a good job and then he doesn't have to worry about supporting all that.

But that just shows why if I ever get hurt and they want me to go on light duty, I'm gonna jump in front of a car so I can go on disability instead. If you're actually hurt, there's not much you can do and worker's comp still wants you to be there 40hrs a week. So half the time you just have to try and hide from the bigger bosses.

>Light duty
Yeah, depending on the company's management , how the injury and subsequent claim went down, and simply how liked one is at work all dictate how that goes.

At the sand hauling outfit I used to work at, a couple of months after I left, one of my buddies got pinched between two trailers while guiding a newer driver back that kept on going even though he couldn't see my buddy in his mirrors. He wasn't too wrecked up, but ended up on light duty for a couple of months, and as soon he was off modified, and the company was legally able, they found cause to skid him. It was the kind of management that was your best friend until the second you weren't useful to them anymore or you dared to ask them for something like switching time off schedules, raises, truck upgrades, etc.

>Gee Sweaty Betty, how come your mom lets you have TWO Big Gulps?

Yeah, it's a shitty situation getting a unit all set up and cleaned up and then getting the rug pulled out from under you.

I'm all for the cross training part of said plan, since the mounted equipment on the trucks are somewhat different to operate, and as of right now, only myself and the field supervisor know how to run the high pressure unit, so it makes it a pain if either of us have days off booked or are sick and a 24 hour job that requires both a day and night shift comes up.

At least this'll give me the opportunity to drive an 18 speed for a couple of weeks again since the high pressure unit is an automatic.

Set forward axles. In my k100 the center of the wheels were right about at the fan hub, and bobtail the steers were just under 9000. Had to set the 5th wheel about 4 notches forward of where I usually keep it to put some weight on the steers. If you look at the top rack mounts on a car hauler the supports are usually behind the steer axle, ado some of that weight actually ends up on the drives. They've also usually got 14-16k axles and steers rated over 7k each, so they've got a bit more net to play with than most OTR trucks. Steer axle GWR usually comes down to the tire rating, not a magical 12k limit. Single axle limit with the bridge law is 20k, but building a steer axle that beefy is pretty expensive.

>>17468542

He's wrong for getting that close, but you did a good thing at least. Not many people with that kind of consideration.

Is JB Hunt gud? I've heard mixed reviews, OTR seems to catch a lot of flak but there's a day cab opportunity available for me, and 100% d&h, $200/day, home nightly and weekends off seems pretty cush.

>>17498446

I am not sure myself but it may be a good gig.

>>17501226
None. You still have to get in and clean out behind the compactor blade.

>>17501302
None? So they all leave an immovable stench that permeates deep within your very pores on an equal level?

So I decided to take the HD Supply gig
(See this >>17459013 for context)

Going to work on Monday to give my two weeks. How do I go about this in the smoothest way possible? I don't hate where I'm at now. They gave me a job when I needed it and were there when shit happened. Would a "Hey boss I found a better job and I'd be dumb not to take it. No hard feelings" suffice? Should I write a resignation letter? I don't quit jobs too often.

>>17494921
To be honest, I am envious of USA's whole retirement plan situation. They don't need to even worry about retiring because they know they have a high possibility of dieing due to an easily curable/treatable disease, that their insurance doesn't cover.

>>17501324
Yes. When you need to get inside the compaction unit and clean out the garbage that gets behind the compaction blade, you get impregnated with stench.

>>17500834
The high-vis is WAY too clean for any real worker.

> Use an agricultural tractor if you have to, or call his company for another truck
> Wait out rush hour
> Keep hauling truck backwards until it can make it down a detour
> Bill the logging company for everyone's wasted time
> Threaten them with the offence of 'wasting police time'.

>>Big ass motorhome with tow behind car is perfectly wedged across the frontage road at a 90 degree angle

>>Tow behind is jackknifed

> Hook the car up again
> Put the barriers back, bill him for the equipment rental and time used

Otherwise, I'm considering making a shot for grocery deliveries again this year, or just biting the bullet and learning to eurotruck.
I just want a job that'll pay for my expensive hobbies and give me enough time/energy to indulge in them.

Apparently secure military facilities, nuclear facilities, and vendor facilities for such places do search the entire truck including the sleeper. Such places also don't allow cameras, laptops, phones, other electronic or recording devices. Generally if it requires a security clearance to get in you're gonna get searched.
