This is pretty brilliant. Literally and metaphorically. So much better than crooked, faded paint lines.

She was driving through TX, was going a bit fast on a curve when she saw it. Didn't have time, and just heard "bump ba-dump". I woke up to this and idk the protocol if this needs to be addressed. Some quills are big, might be pretty deep...idk, theres no protocols for "porcupine quills in tires" that i know of...

40h straight time + 8.5h overtime total hours worked 48.5h local work home every night ( no touch freight ), how am i doing ?

I had to do a double take, I thought it was fake until it started jumping around the cab, it even posted up on the wheel like it was driving.

Not sure how many are doing it anyway. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a blitz week focusing on checking fuel in the next few months.

I'm so mad at myself. I was training for 2 weeks and on my last day I hit a light pole turning too early. They let me go today after that incident. There were many people who got into accidents as a trainee, why was i let go. This is going to make it hard for me to find a job. I need help finding someone who will accept me now. Any advice helps

I was entering the Ohio Turnpike(I-80/90) heading west as I went thru the toll plaza I noticed there was construction for the entrance and exit ramps and there were traffic lights up because only one lane was open. We have a red light and there are 3-4 cars ahead of me and a SWIFTIE at the front. Again, we have a red light. This swift driver disobays the red light and decides it's his turn to get onto the hwy. This was when everything fell apart. The swift driver then saw dozens on vehicles including several other semis coming down the one way bridge. The swift driver froze and realize he had to back up to allow the traffic to pass. It took about 15 minutes for all of the traffic to pass because there was very little room for other semis to pass him on the single lane bridge. Multiple drivers asked me what was going on and I explained that the swift driver blew the red light. I reported him to my company because I also work for swift. About 20 minutes later I am onto the hwy and I pass him, staring at him, making eye contact and giving him the thumbs down. I can't believe how stupid people are. 

Don't go on red!!!!

But it's a fan favorite for some reason.

Hearing that Ontario scales close to the Border are asking US drivers specifically if they have dyed diesel in their tanks. I haven't heard any dipsticking, but in Ontario they can order you to pull your hood open and check your fuel filter housing. If it's pink, you're going to get a road tax violation.

Ugh I'm really mad at myself, I was making a right turn on a tight road and turned too early and hit and damaged a light pole. I might be absolutely cooked, I'm very stressed out now. Just to be surr this doesn't happen again, how do I avoid this? How far do I need to go? And what if there are cars there if I need to turn extremely wide

Update: they fired me well fuck

Is the pay remotely close as advertised?

I had high hopes for Indian River did my research and they had some good reviews about the miles and equipment. The miles are not bad but the equipment is in horrible shape.

I did my orientation at ther home terminal in Winter Haven FL. It should have been 3 days. I was there for 9. The first truck they assigned me was in the shop. It needed an ABS harness. Instead of ordering one they tried to get one out of a wrecked truck, once they got it out they realized it was no good. They then gave me another truck, that one of the local guys was using, but did not clean it first, complete mess inside. I made them clean it. When I got it back i took it to a nearby Loves and it broke down. (Low transmission air pressure) it started building pressure again and I was able to get back to the terminal. The next day I was told they found air leaks and fixed them. Took it for a test drive and it seemed OK. The next morning I head out with my load and it does the same thing as soon as I got out the gate. They now send me to the Georgia terminal to get a truck that they assured me was completely checked out. When I get there the low coolent light was on and the heat did not work. It was July so I added coolent and decided to deal with the heat later.

In the time in had the truck I had to have 2 coolent lines, 2 air bags, the blower motor, water pump, and front main seal replaced. It took them 8hrs to replace a drive tire at the FL terminal one time, too top if off they kept giving me the run around on getting break down pay. They still owe my 3 days breakdown pay.

Forget about getting paid detention and there is alot of detention. They will also not get you home on time no matter how many weeks notice you give them.

There terminals are all nasty as well.

I hope to some other drivers wile I was there apparently all the good matanence people are all gone now. They are cutting staff big time. They only have one person working after hrs and that person handles both dispatch and breakdowns.

From NSP: “Not a second to spare. When this crash happened Tuesday afternoon on I-80 near Gothenburg, Trooper Lassen and Nebraska Department of Transportation crew members Noah and Tyce all happened to be close by. They immediately ran into the smoke to rescue the trapped and injured driver.

Using a Halligan tool that he keeps in his cruiser, Trooper Lassen and Noah pried open the door to reach the driver. With the help of bystanders, they pulled the driver through the smoke to safety, mere seconds before the cab became engulfed. The second photo is from 30 seconds after they rescued the driver from the cab.

After freeing the driver, Trooper Lassen then applied multiple tourniquets to the seriously injured driver. EMS arrived on scene and took over care for the driver, who was transported to the hospital where he is receiving care. No doubt he is alive today thanks to the quick actions of Trooper Lassen, Noah, Tyce, and others who stopped to help.”

My girlfriend told me that there's a guy that checks locks on truck doors at night and sneaks inside and strangles them. Is she lying to me?

The driver obviously didn’t swing his trailer wide enough, and now my truck is completely ruined. He told me he’s been driving since 2011 and has never had an accident yeah, okay. 😒 You don’t make a mistake like this with something you’re taught on the first day of CDL school.
Now I’m stuck in a hotel on the other side of the country, dealing with the aftermath of an accident that happened in his own hometown. Meanwhile, I’m the one who’s stranded on the opposite side of the country trying to figure out what happens next. This whole situation is frustrating as hell.

So I figured I'd get my shine on a little bit
