What does crack me up is how easy the word "panties" comes out of a trucker's mouth. I'm not wearing any panties, it's time to put on your big girl panties, I need to pull over and pull my panties out.... It's different. Most of the time we are semi-normal. And most truckers will agree, the worst are the crazy Jesus Freak truckers. THEM I worry about.

Yeah, they're always a bit...off. It's always fun to hear the guys preaching over the CB, though, as 25 other angry truckers try to drown them out and tell them to get off the channel.

I'm imagining their CB radio talk is just a constant stream of thanking Jesus for the privilege of getting to be a trucker, God's modern messenger of hope and Chinese trinkets. Maybe some shouting down of two truckers trying to find love in a harsh world.

I never got the opportunity to thank you properly. You saved me a metric poo poo-TON of money, years of being bound to a lovely contract, and most importantly, I gained the necessary skills BEFORE hitting the blacktop. Thank you so much for your suggestion. Had you made that suggestion 2 days later, I would have had to wait a month before starting the program, and my unemployment checks would have run out before finishing, causing some SERIOUS problems. For all the people that poo poo on you for your computer prowess, just know that you have made a MAJOR difference in the quality of my life, and the life of my daughter!

Next time you have some down time we can show nutcup how we do it FL style (or you know, come to one of our fabulous goonmeets, next one at a local British Pub). Mmmmmmm Florida sunshine, causing the sweat to loosen the dry crusted remains of last nights hot wings and beer splattered on my rear end cheeks outside the reach of toilet paper. Soon there will be a fiery gravy basting my balls. Baby, bring the blue cheese, I feel a dip coming on.

Tuition is triple now what it was in my time. gently caress that place. Run by a bunch of for-profit scavengers now. I no longer wrench, thanks to a hosed back from busting nuts on army junk for four years. They paid back the loans, so gently caress it. I worked TA shops before the army, fell into the pit at the Nashville shop. That sucked. Oh, and meth-head cousins stealing your tools while you're deployed will put an end to a wrenching career pretty quickly. Still, gently caress NADC.

Leahy in Ayer MA, but I only see them in daycabs. Atkinson in Bensalem PA might be able to do it also. As far as long-haul, good luck. Long-haul teamsters have been gone for years.

So my ecm poo poo all over itself last night, resulting in a tow. I was loaded, with a sold, high priority unit on my headrack. 13'6 height to start, lifted up to tow, guess the result. I'll put some pictures up when the snow stops and I can back to the Freightliner dealer, but it was awesomely ugly even in the dark. For the new guys here, I don't actually haul houses or maple syrup, and I don't live in Canada, I haul new cars in the Northeast.

To make it worse, we got 16" of snow last, through the hole where the sunroof used to be.

Thanks for the help guys. They are loads from Charlotte to Joliet, IL, so I don't think any of those would work. I'll call them, but it sounds like they do a lot of port work. Thanks again, and drive safe.

Aliass posted:Road train drivers usually sit on 150+ and read whilst they drive I followed a empty flat bed down from NT a good decade ago, loving hammering it in the speed free zones(which are now gone), and then still hammering it in northwest QLD. The kangaroos would swarm his truck, and you would see pieces of them flying of into the air, and watch the flat bed move a couple of inches over when a big roo jumped between the trailer wheels and got shredded. He sat in the middle of the two lane highway and just gunned it. It was so strange. Its like the roos were actually aiming to get killed. I was following in my little lowered honda, and i was all over the two lane road trying to dodge pieces of roo, the trucker just had is foot flat and ignoring it. I stopped counting roos at 50, spent more time trying to slalom around piles of red meat. Truckers in north qld have loving MASSIVE roobars for this reason. I stayed behind him and he cleared the road for me. Most memorable road trip ever. Javid posted:Is there still a bounty for running over cane toads? Seems like a good way to make some side cash trucking over there. Nah. Its just part of being australian that you always aim for toads. try to avoid doing in nice cars though as their guts is corrosive. Whitey Ford posted:We used to have areas with unrestricted speed limits. I did learn why they tried to slow people down. The hard way. I lost control on the soft shoulder with a passenger in the car after over correcting (yes noob aussie driving mistake) and spun around about 5 times before ending up nose deep into the side of the road in a gutter. I was lucky i was in my lowered honda with its center of gravity about 1 inch above the ground because at the speeds i was doing i swear i was going to flip. After calming down and stopping the shakes, and checking the car and finding NO damage at all, we took of again but didnt go above about 130. rainwulf fucked around with this message at Jan 13, 2011 around 06:14 |
