Just drove my rig down I70 towards Longmont. Colorado roads suck
>>215412559what part of colorado?
>>215412559Ugh, Lothlorien... And no you don't suffer. Colorado is nice and try unlike this shithole where it rains all fall and winter
>>215412598Somehwere Between Crested Butte and Paonia... anyway why does it matter. No matter where it leads to suffering...
>>215412640I wish I lived in Sweden... life would be so different
>>215412640>Rain is le bad even doe it prevents the land from becoming a boring desert shithole
>>215412640dry*
>>215412640Not OP but this is what New Mexico looks like leaving Colorado through Raton Pass
>>215412677Okay that's bad but cold and dry is GOAT
>>215412640>>215412689Oops
Colorado is nice but it’s priced out unless you want to live in some shithole prairie town near Kansas
>>215412677It was drizzling and foggy today... more proof I sufferWhat I would give to live in northern Mexico... the songs of Juan Gabriel would fill the air and watch the desert sunset. VGH... dreams...
>>215412689I haven't been there but I've been through the valley that's west of those mountains. Very beautiful. Pic is east NM
>>215412753fuck I mean west NM
>POV: You’re trying to drive literally anywhere in Colorado
>>215412753>>215412767I’m currently in east Texas which is a muggy meth swamp so I guess anything is an improvement. Tomorrow I’ll be in Nawlins (yikes) and then on to Pensacola (zoinks)
>>215412798Nawlins is based and fun. East Texas sucks ass but Lousiana and Mississippi are based and culture pilled plus the swamp lands are kino and otherworldly.
>>215412818>kino and otherworldlyIn trucker parlance that means “infested with zombies that will try to break into my cargo”
>>215412841Do truckers ever get to do fun shit/touristic stuff at all or do you just fend off lot lizards when you aren't driving?
>>215412914>Do truckers ever get to do fun shit/touristic stuff at allKinda depends, if I end my run and happen to be able to park my rig in a fenced in company depot on a 34 hour reset I could take an Uber into town for a day but that doesn’t really happen often. Otherwise I’m responsible for the vehicle at all times and if I’m away when it gets jacked I’m fucked
>>215412957Which city is known for having the cleanest best lot lizards? Which has the nastiest? Which stops are unanimously the top 5 worst stops everybody hates having to go to for whatever reason
>>215412957>Otherwise I’m responsible for the vehicle at all times im getting my CDL and it amazes me just how much liability is put on people in this dogshit job.how did you retards allow trucking to become so over regulated AND pay less than minimum wage? hearing truckerfags talk about how easy the job is and how you talk to no one made it seem cool. now im learning that theres all these variables working against you. some of which you have no control over
>>215413016Lot lizards in the modern era are either latina human trafficking victims or hideous negro skanks so I couldn’t tell you about that. As for stops the worst is probably West Memphis, Arkansas, tied with St. Louis. All truckers hate California too because of its retardedly restrictive tandem and weight restriction laws, though Missouri (Misery) also sucks since despite being right in the middle of the country it’s the only state that prohibits trucks from driving on state highways
>>215413044If anything trucking is under regulated, literal Mysteryjeets can get an official state issued CDL to drive an 80,000 pound vehicle while not being able to speak a word of English
>>215413044>and it amazes me just how much liability is put on people in this dogshit job-Know what and how heavy the load you’re carrying is-Don’t just leave it and the truck unattended when you’re on duty-Don’t hit anything while driving or backing upIt’s pretty simple actually
>>215413090for the last 10 years jeets rusgroids latinx and arabs have been getting pushed into the field to keep wages down. the only reason why this is gaining traction now is because more jeets are getting brought in,no it's not from under regulation lol. you gotta follow FMCSA regulation, state law, local law, company policy. and even one ticket from state DOT puts your license at jeopardy
>>215413132well for my own sake i hope it is that simple
>>215413174>you gotta follow FMCSA regulation, state law, local law, company policy. and even one ticket from state DOT puts your license at jeopardyIf Jean-Claude from Haiti and Sukdeep can figure that out then what’s your excuse?
>>215413193Don’t forget to actually use your logbook and keep it as accurate as possible so you don’t look like the clueless retard DOT assumes you are
