I don't have a CDL and have never driven a 'big rig.' How hard would it be to break into hauling cattle at 110 mph in a long nose Peterbilt?
>>
>>28934074
I hope you know a guy, because with no experience trucking at all its gonna be near impossible. Even if you had some OTR its hard getting into it because you need some knowledge on handling livestock, though there might be a couple companies who would ease you into it.

I'm not gatekeeping shit, man. Just ask any cattle hauler. If you wanna get into driving, start with general cargo (dryvan, reefer, flatbed) and get into specialized after a year or two. Its the most surefire way to get where you want. I did OTR for 2 amd a half years and now I'm starting to get into fuel hauling.
I don't like to chase newbies away, I encourage people to get into trucking. I love what I do and think others like me will love it too. But I gotta be realistic at the same time.

Linehaul chud here. I drive a stretch of I80 in Nebraska every day. Been doing my route for 6 years. The amount of Indians I see drive by me with their foot on the dashboard and their phones in their hand is disgusting. I was almost ran off the road last week because one swerved into my lane. It’s gotten so much worse in the past few years. I can’t believe how many of them there are. I got in a fight with one at Loves in Aurora because he parked in the fuel isle to take a shower. They hold me hostage at the pumps at least once a week.

Its simple. If you see one park where cameras have poor/no view, pull their 5th wheel and stick a rock in between their tandems. They never pretrip, and chocking the trailer ensure nobody else gets caught up in it.

I got divorced before I even got my cdl and I bang chicks I meet on the road as well as still throwing my ex a bone occasionally. Anyone that tries to be married doing OTR is a faggot nigger retard.

Also hoping when I get on there I can never have to come back to NJ/NY/MA ever again for the entire rest of my career or at least if I do I don't get stuck running regional in this shithole for weeks at a time making nothing to do it.

Anon it's 70 hours in 8 days.
You were keeping track of your clock and informed them that you didn't have the clock to finish the load before picking it up, right? The clock is the clock and nobody in the business gets mad that you can't drive past a certain point, but you do need to stay ahead of it and inform them if you can calculate the load just ain't gonna work. They may want you to pick it up anyway and take it down the road as far as you can and have someone else pick it up from that point, or they might want you to stay where you are, get your 34 in, and just cancel or reassign the load.
"The load needs to get there by n and at n - 1 I'm still going to be an hour away and out of clock" -- you don't sit there saying nothing until n - 1 because that fucks them. They can't get someone to instantly teleport to you to pick it up. But if you let them know hours beforehand they can schedule a meetup and everything continues to run smoothly.

Cucknada has a two week clock so you can't just permanently run recaps like you can in the states. Because they're cucks.

Bulbheads are somehow worse than Indians. 9/10 times whenever there's another truck being a general nuisance and an obstacle on the road, doing stupid shit like slowing down for absolutely no reason, not rolling at a consistent speed, and then speeding up when you try to pass, it's always a fucking bulbhead or some other black as night African that just floated over here on a tire last week.

Indians are dangerous on the road but at least they don't get in your way like these fucking click clacks do.

Big fleets have them mostly phased out but they still see use in heavy specialty hauling, smaller fleets, or in the trucks of O/Os.
>>
>>28941359
They're still fine to use and in some applications they're preferable to an auto, but for dryvan or reefer at or under 80k gross the autos are preferable for fuel mileage. Once you start getting up around six figures on gross weight you're going to want a manual.

The only time I've ever had another semi intentionally try to run me off the road it was an Indian behind the wheel. So you can forgive me or kiss my ass as applicable for not being a big fan of most of them. There are good ones, they're not all bad, but the streetshitters fresh off the boat that drive like they're still in Mumbai fucking suck and even other Indians will tell you that.

Maybe going off a mountain is too much. But for at least one of them that nearly killed me intentionally, they absolutely deserve it and I hope it happens before they kill somebody else.

It's only the shady shitholes like SuperEgo that were forcing guys to drive tired under threat of retaliation.

Don't nobody wanna fuck no truck driver. I don't blame 'em. You're never home and having a relationship is basically impossible unless they have a cdl and the two of you are team driving. Best case scenario you basically have someone that lives in your house while you're on the road that wouldn't mind fucking you on your time off but even then unless you're insane you just have to accept they're probably gonna be fucking other people on the side.

If you're advancing the load getting to safe haven that's not allowed. You have to go the opposite direction you need to go to find parking. It's nigtarded. Just start looking for parking once you get down to two hours left so you don't get fucked, you should really trip plan that at the beginning of the day though.

Truckerpath. Literally tells you available and projected parking, has reviews for other places from other truckers, even has halfass decent navigation if you have your shit configured properly for height length and weight. Only downside is it costs 35$ a month and the app is vibecoded by dalits so you have to force close and reopen it every couple hours. I use it literally every day and I think anyone that doesn't use it or complains about the cost is a retard or a nigger or a retarded niggardly faggot.

Git gud. After about six months you won't be a completely retarded shitheap. After about a year you'll start being somewhat competent when it counts. After about five years you'll be bretty gud.

No matter what tho if you're not sure you're not gonna hit something just get your fat ass out and look. Even if you are sure still do it occasionally. If anyone gives you shit flip them off and escalate it into a fistfight or brutal parking lot stabbing if they have the stones to get out and confront you.

Fuckerpath isn’t going to help the fact I had no choice but to advance the load, forcing me to violate my HOS, once the repair has been completed.
Also, you don’t need to pay a subscription to look at parking availability, numbnuts. The Pilot I went to was also the closest truck stop from my location. If the breakdown hadn’t occurred, I would have reached the truck stop I had planned on shutting down at, with an hour remaining on my clock.

Playing on the new Illinois DLC on American Truck Simulator and it’s completely inaccurate – half of I-57 doesn’t have any road construction going on, requiring trucks to drive on the left lane!
Waste of $12…

I don't know if it's Stockholm Syndrome kicking in but I've legitimately started liking loading. Nice change of pace, it wakes you up. You get so sluggish during drive only days.

found a CB radio at the thrift store and have it set to channel 19 but there's fucking nothing on it, what channel are you truck fags using these days
>>
>>28954122
19
It’s 2026… what makes you think everyone is wanting to talk on the CB, these days?
Also, adjust your squelch and RF gain to make sure you’re getting reception. Also, do a radio check, you retard. Surely, there’s someone nearby with their CB on that will respond.

>19
what else am I supposed to use, channel 6?

Even 15 years ago you had to be in a city to get much chatter and it wasn't a lot. Most times it was some mud jockeys talking. About the only time things really got going was in backups. Also every skip jackass wanting to use 19 during the day sucks and has driven people away.

That said, you should absolutely have one because it's still faster than an app for roadside hazards and backups plus just talking to some guy trying to figure out where to go at a shipper. IME, just plopping a radio in on factory wiring has always ended up with poor range, with one truck I had being less than 1/4 mile. I don't know what all it takes to fix them because they've always been company trucks that I could be swapped out of on a moments notice.

Dang, should I have it wired to the battery? I'm also using a walmart antenna which someone tells me is shitty but it was like 15 bucks
>>
>>28954379
>should I have it wired to the battery?
Maybe? I dunno.

I have checked the SWR on most of the trucks I've used and none have been under 2 and most way over 3 which is said to be due to poor grounding of the antenna and the surrounding metal components and then fine-tune with antenna length once you're down under 2. There's a whole rabbit hole to go down on that so I'll leave you to it. But get a SWR meter first so you have some sort of info about what's going on.

The big money is in port trucking. These guys are getting $1000 per load.

intermodal? aren't they also home daily?

I was talking to a guy that was doing those ultra-long convoys, dk how they're called in English, in the UK around the early 2010s and he was earning 7000 pounds a month. Had to give it up because his woman couldn't adapt to British culture. Crazy.

Is it a requirement to have a rude, lazy, and generally unpleasant black lady working at the guard shack?

This cannot be a coincidence. Where do they get these people? Are they stored in a warehouse somewhere?

s-surely they'll blame the brewery and not me, right?

If you tied the straps, it's your fault.
>>
>>28957650
If the pallets weren't loaded properly then the blame can be shifted to the shipper but most of the time, the blame is placed on the driver since the load shifted during transit.
Happens all the time – just be careful with your driving, and try to avoid sudden movements and/or strong lateral G's

Job pays like shit and they deal with smelly assholes that until recently couldn't speak English and now just barely speak broken English but still smell like shit and are still assholes. You'd be a shitty person in that situation too.

An angry lazy rude bitch making nothing while having entirely too much responsibility is a perfect encapsulation of the entire country.
