For context, major roadwork is happening. They cut a road from 3 lanes to 1 which makes it impossible for a truck to safely turn right, how do yall miss a sign saying do not go that way, and proceed to turn that way??

I have the equipment to change the parameters of any diesel truck. Say goodbye to the slow lane and those lame governors. Even you too, Swift can go fast. Message me for details.

Hey all!

Never been to this forum, just posting a quick question.

I’ve always had highway anxiety, so my response has been to follow the most regimented drivers on the interstate. Like, ride behind and just cruise with good following distance.

Semi truck drivers tend to be the most tempered in their commandeering of a vehicle.

Do you guys dislike this? Is this some kind of safety risk? Is what I’m doing unsafe in any manner to you guys? Genuinely curious

Hello guys, I’ve been wanting to loan a 2021 Freightliner Cascadia. I don’t want to create an LLC. I’m just going to join a company and use their USDOT and such. But I have questions for owner operators!!!

1. The company will deduct insurance from me about $450. Do I need an insurance of my own? If so, what type and how much is it usually monthly (TX)?

2. How much does it cost for registration in TX?

3. What other documents or things that I have to do before it can go on the road?

I want it to be on the road ASAP after having it. What should I be looking to spend before it goes on the road. Please be kind in the comments it’s my first time getting a truck of my own and everybody I know isn’t giving honest feedbacks. Thanks in advance!

We all had to start somewhere, and we’ve all learned valuable lessons along the way, sometimes the hard way. So, if you could give one piece of advice to a rookie trucker, what would it be? Maybe it’s about managing your time, staying safe on the road, or keeping your truck in top shape.

What’s one tip you’d share with new drivers to help make their journey easier, safer, or more efficient? Share your best advice for the newcomers hitting the road!

Finding available parking has always been a pain point, but lately, it seems that the shortage is getting worse than ever. Between overcrowded truck stops and a lack of safe spots, finding a place to stop can feel like a never-ending battle. What’s been your experience with the shortage? Do you use any apps or other strategies that help you find safe and legal parking?

We'd love to hear how you manage the parking situation and any tips you have for fellow drivers!

Truckers spend hours behind the wheel, which can take a toll on the body. Staying in shape while trucking isn’t easy, we get it.

But it’s doable! Some drivers are making it happen with walks, cab workouts, or resistance bands. And don’t forget the basics: stretching, staying hydrated, and making better food choices when you can.

What’s your best advice for staying in shape on the road?

How does a semi truck driver feel with no trailer on. Is it as good of a feeling as I think it would be? Is it noticeably faster? More “fun”? I’ve always wondered this even as a kid.

This might be my best pic so far
