>>545064426Too much vehicle for my liking.
>>545064426>JUZT HAEV LE HEKKIN 1/4 MILLYON DOLLARZ 2 START TRUKKEN BRO!!!!!!you stupid fucking retard

>>545064426>Blocks your path
>>545064426I can't park semis in tight spaces in American Truck Simulator (which is a must have skill for this job)
>>545064517ThisThose things seem like massive pains in the asses at best and downright nightmares at worst to maneuver
>>545064426>Alone
>>545064820Damn, I love that game.
>>545064426I thought this post was going in a different direction
>>545064737lol, you dont have to buy a truck, its not uber you retard
>>545064426Me in the background.
>>545064426You aren’t making that much on no touch over 9 months. Trucking is so shitty no I only wish it upon horrid people.
>>545064777This. I ran nights for 15 months straight and it permanently fucked my sleep schedule up. My health also went downhill fast.
>>545064426Based and RAYpilled, way of the road bud
>>545065230Agreed. Rates have been in the shitter for 4 years. There's too many dipshit Punjabis willing to haul loads for $1.50/mile. Plus fuel prices are nuts right now. I've been driving for 5 years and I'm done at the end of the year. I have enough money saved up to start a business.
>>545064426with a setup like that you may as well start playing on the sticks
>>545064820I'm a trucker and I genuinely struggle backing up a trailer in that game. But I only played with an Xbox controller, I think it'd be easier with a proper steering wheel set up.
>>545065429That’s pretty much what I hear from my people. Trucking chews you up and most quit after 6 months. There is money to be made if you find niche stuff like oil or livestock. I always feel bad for those bastards driving across the country 3 times in a week, stumbling out of the truck when I see them. I’m just baby hotshot but I’m about to go spend 14 hours driving straight.
>>545064426Sup Ethan?
>>545064737They're not that expensive (80k for a good used truck, 20k for a nice trailer) and you can start trucking with someone else's equipment to get enough for a down payment.>>545064517>>545064820>>545064867It's not that difficult with proper training. Get out and look if you have to. Take it slow. Do wide turns. >>545064777People in office jobs tend to be fatter. Just exercise. Save some of your money for repairs. It's not rocket science. The loads pay for their own diesel. >>545065230You can easily make 120k net in 3 months running less than 2k miles a week once you pay off your equipment. >>545065429Punjabis all got banished from the industry and they closed down all the punajbi printing cdl schools earlier this year. Even with high diesel prices owner ops are pulling big bucks and working as much as they feel like doing. It's literally the last bastion of white man independence.
>>545064426Imagine the smell
>>545065645>120k net in 3 months9 months*>>545065631>There is money to be made if you find niche stuff like oil or livestock.You can make good money but you're going to be killing yourself in terms of effort and hours in a way that's not really worth when you can still just clear 100k casually doing dock bumping on your own schedule.
>>545065639I don’t think it’s Ethan. Not enough pics of his slampig wife or his wife’s sons.
>>545065230I'm not going to warn them about how bad it is.
>>545065645> You can easily make 120k net in 3 months running less than 2k miles a week once you pay off your equipment.HAHHAHAHAHAA look at this lying faggot and laugh.
>>545065809Lower your tone, class e kiddy. Even peasants running for company cpm clear 100k by their third year.
>>545065853Mmmmm right like I’m supposed to believe that. Dumb nigger
>>545064426been otr for 5 years there are days i enjoy my job and days i hate it and just want to go home and do literally anything else suppose it’s the only way a high school dropout like me could make a decent living at this point without years of working up through a trade school and apprenticeship
>>545066021otr for 5 years and you haven't moved into a nice local, regional or o/o? What are you doing brother? Are they paying you well?
>>545065645Dude I'm at the Flying J in Ripon CA and half of this truck stop is Punjabi. The amount of Punjabis that got their license taken away was miniscule in the grand scheme of things. >>54506563190% quit within the first year. It's a tough lifestyle to get adjusted to. I'm not gonna lie I almost quit within 6 months but mostly because I was at a shitty megacarrier.
>>545064426>>545065645Looks pretty comfy. What stops me is being scared of getting robbed or murdered while sleeping at a Loves.
>>545065683My truck smells like a stinky dog.
>>545064426because I'm enslaved by the US intelligence apparatus because they think people are like things to own.
>>545066149my family is a bunch of fucking idiots and im essentially the only one whos managed to get their shit together so i essentially have had to leverage all of my money over and over again to save their asses so i cant really get ahead i told them recently no more handouts and that im going to spend the rest of this lease saving my money up so i can come off the road in January 2029 and take a crack at something else >>545066199Funny, i drive for a megacarrier and make pretty good money. of course my taxes are a sword of damacles hanging over my head but thats every driver it seemd
>>545065196That's not me, that's me.
>>545066215that really doesnt happen ive heard of trailers getting broken into but nobodys getting mugged at a big 4 truckstop (unless youre in memphis)
>>545066268Your dog's coat reminds me of a dog I used to play with when I was kid. Good memories.
>>545066215It's sleeping while parked on the streets in the ghetto that you gotta be worried about. I've parked on the street in east Atlanta and was awoken by gunshots. Also had a pack of sketchy addicts smoking crack outside my truck while I was parked on the Southside of Chicago.
>>545066392Or if they're scoring meth and lot lizards. Which reminds me of the funniest episode of the show COPS of all time, involving a trucker. My gift to you. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVEJUt_NFHc
>>545066392What happens in Memphis?
>>545066458you need to tripplan better
>>545066422Her coat is called brindle. I got her as a guard dog but she's too friendly and doesn't have any protective instincts.
>>545066567its a very violent shithole and a lot of it seems to congregate around the truck stops in a way that doesnt really happen in other major metros >>545066552Holy shit ive seen this one lol thanks anon
>>545064426Eh, I'm more wondering if I should kms or just go hobo
>>545066567it has a lot of NIGGERS anon, idk how else to say itthey all have guns and know that people go there to get drunk and hit up the local music scenes finding drunks after midnight to steal from is in their blood
>>545066588I would be parked outside warehouses/DCs on the street waiting for my appointment.>>545066567It's arguably the most ghetto city in the entire country. On the Arkansas/Tennessee border right outside of Memphis there's a bunch of truck stops where a lot of shady activity happens (prostitution, drug dealing, burglary, etc)
>>545065645>independenceFuck roads, global diesel refining capacity, and the availability of a mechanic that knows big rigs; you depend on all the Stacies in logistics doing their nails while clicking random routes and cargoes. Literally downstream of every rage bait foid meme.
>>545064426already did it, best job i ever had, probably do it again if i ever need the money, for now enjoying self sufficient neetdom
>>545064777or just be a company driver and don't give a shit about fuel or repairs
>>545064426Isn't diesel fuel like a billion dollars right now
>>545066808eh the way that i look at it is i see a thousand faces every day the second i pull out of this place ill never think of you again also the driver picks the routes they take unless youre full company driver goyim, and full owner ops get to pick their own cargo as well>>545066790interesting i generally never do that, kinda as a rule try to structure my route so I can get in and get out without stopping and waiting outside the warehouse before hand
>>545066927thats the beauty of the job that a lot of drivers really don’t understand when fuel prices go up, your rates also go up to cover the fuel. if youre good at fuel economy and arent afraid of running on empty you can make profit off your fuel surcharge
>>545065917you make 49 dollars an hour (70cpm/70mph) when the wheels are turning as a company driver if you run for a good carrier, you do the math
>>545066784>total crime rate of NINE POINT FOUR PERCENTholy fucking shit dude lmao
>>545067017sure budy, fuel goes up, rate go up, everybody wins. no problemo.
>>545064426My antisocial manic depressive cousin inherited my grandpa’s truck and a couple trailers and he does this. He asked me how to invest in the stock market and I asked him how much he wanted to start with and he said he’d start with $1.8 million dollars. He has no life outside of driving his semi and making money but he’s always able to come over for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
>>545066957>irrelevant nonsense about logisticsYou never see these people but are affected by their decisions. The availability of loads for you to “pick” (a Hobson’s choice, you take what they offer you or sit on your Bad Dragon and eat depreciation during downtime) is entirely up to Stacy in logistics. Your bill of lading etc. all that paperwork, yep, it goes through Stacy. Trucking is just as cucked as sitting in the wage cage writing JavaScript.
>>545067102well the consumer doesnt win but i do lol its just annoying how retarded my family is and constantly having to bail them out, just had to drop 10k and come off the road for a week this month to pay for a new house and moving costs and shit because my retirement age dad and sister got themselves evicted
>>545067185idk what kind of mental illness youre dealing with but you do you buddy
>>545066458qrd on lot lizards? are they a thing? ever get approached by them? are they good looking or crack whores?
>>545067221LOL stop role playing as truckers Lokesh
>>545067192I was implying your job security is tied to fuel prices despite what you may believe. Less consumer spending = less trucking contracts.
>>545064820This. I couldn't park and had a hard time staying in my lane on highways in American Truck Simulator. It turned me off from the trucking industry, I'd have an easier time flying a plane. In Flight Simulator I can land no problem.
>>545067252They're just nasty crack whores. Usually the ex-meth head truckers are the ones that fall for the call of those sidelot sirens and end up rebounding into a career ending bender.
>>545067272You are wasting your breath, truckers aren't going to understand you.
>>545067350>>545064820skill issue
>>545067350its the sort of thing you just have to keep doing until it clicks took about a year before backing really clicked for me >>545067272food will always need to be delivered to supermarkets etcetra thats not to say shit doesnt slow down though, 2024 almost broke me it was so fucking bad even the hot periods (like now going into Christmas) was dogshit to the point i was 1 more bad check from hanging the keys up >>545067265kys
>>545067091Yea I know, its insaneeven the local radio hosts in my area tell stories of getting robbed up there when the station let them go there for events
>>545067252There was this truck stop diner on the edge of Nebraska and Colorado and next door was a “massage parlor” with a hot Asian girl in front enticing truckers to come inside. Everyone knew what was going on. I’ve seen lot lizards at truck stops, you’ll see them getting into trucks with guys and I think it was in the 80’s there was a serial killer trucker that specifically tortured and killed lot lizards in his truck trailer.
>>545067387there is a correlation between fuel prices and pay but its not what you think it is but i dont have the patience or care to sit here and explain the intricacies of cpm versus dollar per hour and how that acts both for and against what your fuel costs are and how much youre charging per mile for fuel or how any of that matters in terms of the amount of loads you are running in any given week
>>545064426Every indian took that job
>>545064426Can't get a loan for a truck refuse to ever get (((credit))) ever again. I am a jobless neet going on 4 years now, fuck kike paper, (((money))).
>>545067272Adjusted for inflation, consumer spending has only fluctuated from a low of 11 trillion to a high of 20 trillion in the last 20 years. It doesn't affect trucking that much. What really affects trucking is immigration. >>545067486>2024 almost broke meIronically that's when consumer spending was at its near peak.
>>545064426I deal with exporting shit to Canada and 95% of the Canadian truckers are Jeets.
>>545067654yes i know it is a very complicated relationship that i dont care to get into as youre not my trainee and im not getting paid to talk about it
>>545064426Every trucker I've seen was the lowest of lowly humans, barely able to be considered human, and there's a reason for that. Those are the only poor creatures they can find to do such a shit job. You wanna live in a tiny space and sit in the same spot for days at a time, living at truck stops, being forced to drive for so long to make unrealistic haul times? It's shit, get a local trucking gig so you can at least sleep in your own bed. Trucking companies should hand off the trailer every few hundred miles but they don't give a shit about human dignity. They abuse and torture their employim.
>>545067394Very bad driving saaaar negative izzat you must hit more
>>545066268That's fucking disgusting. Dog owners are gross to me, but to share such a confined space with a mutt? Damn, not only are you also probably getting slobbered on, kissing your dog and having not just human skin cells, hair and sweat on every fabric but you are bringing a dog into it. Smell of dog breath would force me to leave that thing on the side of the highway hell fucking no. Fuck breathing in recycled dog breath air and having the unwashed dog laying next to you on your (presumably unwashed) sheets. I guarenfuckintee you that you haven't given that thing a bath in ages
>>545067654>doesn't affect trucking that much.consumer spending affects trucking more than anything else. the vehicle to transport the thing the consumer wants will stop transporting the thing if the consumers stop wanting it. that includes grocery stores. american citizens and immigrants alike will starve. they already are in the camps you just don't see it.
>>545067899The never washed balls and never wiped shitty asshole of the beast all over his sheets. Dogim are such disgusting retards.
do you have to piss in a bottle? and do the thing where you pay 7 bucks to go take a shit and shower at Love's? or how's all that work. how much piss is on your bed
>>545064426>Just get your own truck>Just pay for your own dieselSure lad, you got the 200k to loan me?
>>545064426How do you use the computer? If always laying down then lol
>>545067252Most lot lizards are straight up nasty. That being said it's pretty rare to see them. Out of all the lizards I've seen, only one of them was hot, this was in Stockton CA (super ghetto town). Pic related, there's even working girls on google maps street view. These hookers are out here 24/7, their pimp hangs out in his G Wagon at Carl's Jr or the shitty motel across the street.
>>545067593Was that in Big Spring, Nebraska?
>>545064426i prefer air traffic control because i like to sleep at home every night.
>>545067899I wash my sheets every week, and same with the dog, I bring her into truck stop showers and bathe her. It's really not that gross.
>>545067959Showers are $18 at Love's now, but fueling up gives free credits.
Absolutely amazeballs. Just like all yoyr other threads. Thank you for making this post, OP. I wish you were my dad
>>545064426How often would I have to crush white families to death on the highway?
haha yeah you can fuck trannies at truck stops tooop living the dream
>>545064517>Too much vehicleSaid no American ever.Post passport, Pajeet.

>>545069119Just fold your bed up bro
>>545064426>>545065645brother I've been thinking about getting my CDL for months now and I might just pursue it now. I've been driving a van for a microtransit company since March and I've just about had it with these fucks.
How bad is trucking right now? I'm a mechanic and nobody is coming in to get their shit fixed. Don't you want to run on all 6 cylinders? It's the busy season too. Fuck I hate this gay transport industry.
>>545069340If you can afford the time and money to do a cdl course then do it. You have to remember that you're opening up an entire industry for yourself, not just doing otr dry van. You could be driving local class b vehicles or get yourself into a class a that isn't otr like working in construction or utility. Especially after you get a year's experience there are many jobs that open up for you.
>Economy so bad that the Thiel bots have been reassigned to shilling for truckingGrim
>>545069467Lots of curry niggers on 4chan to advertise to
>>545067090>when the wheels are turningSo traffic doesn't exist and neither does waiting hours to be unloaded, okay, sure.
>>545069467how is Thiel tied in to trucking exactly. I'm naturally interested in this topic since my company shares a lot with a bunch of semis and I see truckers every day.
>>545064426>drive to McWalGoys>spicniggerkike hybrid t-bones you at 150 timmyunits per hour>everything you own totally destroyedyeah not a good plan
>>545069433based
>>545068543I dunno? I think it was near Sydney or North Platte but the massage parlor is an obvious handjob store for truckers. The diner next door was great but it shutdown.
>no competition>so easy to get loads>margins totally worth itOp is not an owner/operator
>>545065645>100,000 in diesel and repairs/yr easy
take it from someone who actually did it trucking is a tough way to make a living
>>545064426I've always tolerated long distance driving well, in some ways I feel like I'm built for this job. But I want to spend time at home with my wife, and now my kid. And while my job can be shitty sometimes, it pays better.
>>545069053Damn, that's a sweet setup.
>>545064426Living on a boat is better, always have food and food is important.
Where do you bath? Where do you shit?No thanks I love my own house.
>>545069340Just get your twic card and go work off shore and stop working like a dumbass
>>545066021im a corporate lawyer surrounded by diversity hires at a financial company. Some days I want to scream in my office.
>>545064426I hate driving and besides, human drivers will be outlawed within 10 years
>>545064426Pretty cool OP. I got my truck license, unlimited weight but don't have the trailer license (that's usually paid for by employer) but over here truck drivers are all homos working for barely above minimum wage and just doing huge hours to get by. I wasn't being part of that so became a tradie
>>545064426nice, i thought about trucking in another life. i would love it
>>545066458Just put a Confederate flag on your truck and they'll know you're probably armed and will pick someone else
>>545071117Yeah but who will pay you to ride your boat around
>>545064806but iran would not have nuclear weapons!thank you bibi!
>>545066268I had a boxer just like that
>>545064426I realized (finally) I could invest. Slow start but as long as you're not gambling or too lazy to do the research, the gains grow and you have more to multiply with the next well researched asset. On-track to not having to work again soon. Most people are just too tired after work/school to even think to try.
>>545064820This confuses and scares the American truck driverhttps://youtu.be/ZrQ4sJ0hPEUhttps://youtu.be/IQUy3lJ7404https://youtu.be/igxba7BeTWo
>>545064426How do you have a family and kids while living out of the back of a truck? Oh wait you don't.
>>545065645Where do you shit
>>545072668I also realized that, right before an orange monkey bombed the shit out of Iran and tanked everything I was in to. And then asia decided to collapse for no fucking reason.It's never been so over.
>>545064426>just combine dystopian non-stop working with being a hoboinsane copeOR, i could just WFH my comfy office job for 3x your salary. i am "WFH" right now right here in your thread faggot lol
>>545065645Where do you take shits?Does it have anything to do with why jeets love trucking?
>>545065170>OP tells people to "get their own truck">hurr durr just don't buy your own truck and save the moneyWhich is it nigger?
>>545073005The American dream is making the same wages as a mid level office worker in the 90's while living like a BO stinking gypsy and collecting a host of health issues from sitting 20 hours a day
>>545073487$150K a year is a big money for a European hobo.
>>545064426I don’t want to spend that much of my time behind the wheel of a truck. I also like being able to sleep in my house on workdays too much.
>no private toilet or shower>no proper kitchenyeah no thanks. imagine having to shit in some disposable bag or god forbid a public place every time you have a bowel movement. what a nightmare.
>>545064426There is not a single incentive you could offer me to make me drive a truck professionally. Absolute Hell-tier job.
>>545064426>no boss>can't even smoke a little herb on your vacation
>>545073753>Absolute Hell-tier job.My first job was working loading docks and the only trucker I met who wasn't a soul sucked miserable pile of shit who hated life was some kid who literally just started a less than a year out and had never had a job that paid a living wage beforeEveryone else acted as though nothing but the will of God himself was keeping them from jackkniffing their semi and ending it all
>>545064426>Why aren't you living a shit life like me?
>>545064426>no boss, just pull loadswhere and how do you get constant loads, do you just roll up to any warehouse and ask for a load?
>>545066458This fag is from Anderson and everyone hates him.
