It’s hard to see from the photo but the bottom hole you can see inside the trailer. Top one you can also but not so much. It’s currently raining.

Any greek trucker here?

I live in the Florida panhandle, have a class A and a T endorsement (and I can get my X endorsement again no prob, I just let it lapse since I wasn't using it), and have a squeaky clean record. I love the company I work for but I'm only making 56 cents a mile and despite running 3 state regional I hardly ever get to go home. 11 years with this company and there's a pretty 1 million mile safe driving award on my desk at home...that I never get to see. What are some options for a REALLY good driving job that'll pay me some serious money and get me home regularly? Where does one find such unicorn jobs anyway?

Oh and my codriver is a total pussy.

You are important and I know it gets lonely out on these roads. Remember that you have value and your life matters. Dont be afraid to seek out mental health service as needed. Dont be scared to reach out to people. Don't let the darkness and loneliness win, this job isn't worth your life and don't let it be worth your life. Stay safe drivers

(Sidenote why does adding an s to trucker and service and using the word m a k e cause me to be unable to post here)

I did have to use super glue to hold it, but with the reinforced adhesive it's held my phone through all the shitty roads in Indiana. (The little ball came loose from Texas heat. 😂)

Got my license in July did a bit extra and got all of my endorsements and my twic just to better my odds. The moment I stepped foot out of the DMV doors I went crazy applying for work assuming I’d get a call back right way. Wrong! I’ve had one job from then to now in the food service industry quickly realized it wasn’t for me, did 30 days there and left looking for better. I’ve had many many jobs straight up tell me no obviously because of experience and some because of insurance purposes. Time after time I’d get my hopes up when jobs would call back only to tell me they couldn’t offer me a position due to those reasons. Which to me makes no sense because how else is someone supposed to learn if they aren’t given a chance to do so? I was so close to looking into OTR since that seems to be the only option now a days for a new comer. Today however, I got a call back from a local yard about 10 mins from my house offering me training in the tanker division and I couldn’t be happier. All the ups and down, getting told no time after time, the worries, the roller coaster of emotions now seems worth it. To anybody faced with a similar dilemma, don’t stop looking. Walk into places, call, email, apply and apply again. OTR isn’t the only option. Most of us have families and it’s never easy leaving them behind for long periods of time, missing important dates etc. 🙏🏾🤘🏽

Is this still a thing or do you get compensated? I don’t do them and my company doesn’t expect it. On rare occasions I may one-day recap into the terminal.

Also Inb4 super-trucker’s “I get $400/day + hotel for resets”

Just transferred to the fresh dollar general account after 6 months on the dry account, went from .66 cents a mile to .90, get 20$ a stop and potentially a lot more miles.

As a 22 year old, on average I should be pulling in 2400$ a week before tax, I fuckin love this job, there's so much BS that comes with it but I really do love it and im so glad the hard work is paying off and im moving up in this industry. God bless, everyone. Keep on truckin.

22yr male just got my cdl 3 weeks ago, looking for a local job but it’s hard finding a local job. What is the best advice you have for a no experienced driver that doesn’t want to go otr. TNA!

Wondering what the best internet to use on the road? Looking at AT&T Internet Air, but wondering if the T-Mobile or Verizon versions are still working or if they have started to lock them down to a single address. Any advice appreciated.

am I the only person that smells like a nursing home smell at everyone I go to ? it's always like a goodwill smell, so I try to avoid them. am I tripping or no ? they also seem to be more outdated than like a pilot or flying j. what do you think ?

I've tried twice to upload a pic of my steer tire blowout and it acts like I never even tried

Will using PC affect my 10 hour reset or 70 hour reset?

I’m asking for a friend in hopes I can help him not lose his CDL. He received a letter from the State DMV office yesterday saying he was in violation on Clearinghouse and his license would either be lost or downgraded. He has a Class A with tanker endorsement. He has had a steady job for the past 8 months and his employer apparently never checked the clearinghouse. I logged into Clearinghouse and found that there was a preemployment screening for a job driving tractor trailers for Dominoes for a job he applied to over a year ago and never decided to take the offer on. It’s marked as a refusal and it’s saying he has to the the whole return to duty process and find a substance abuse. Has anyone ever been through the process of filing an appeal? The day he went for that test he couldn’t urinate enough because at the time he was working two jobs and was dehydrated. The lab woman told him she was marking it as a refusal and sent him away. He asked to stay and try again and she said no. He’s never failed a preemployment drug screen and doesn’t do drugs. Is there any hope of going through the appeal process or should he just go through the RTD SAP process ? Any help is so appreciated. He has until December to get this resolved.

Took a load from home in Minnesota to Houston, tx. 30 mph winding in my face the entire trip. Got 4 mpg. Knuckles are sore. Heading back home now. I WILL BE HOME DURING THE ELECTION. Shit's gonna be crazy. I hope not for our country.

I got a warning 2 months ago and I decided to check my psp record . It shows that I was inspected but shows no violations. All it shows is a report number for the inspection. Will employer look up the inspection or will all they care about is that I don’t have any violations? Are warning considered violations on the psp?

What if I’m missing the middle piece of a side skirt but the front and back end of the side skirt is still attached can I get a ticket

Title. Heard they do. If it's true I'm just gonna start looking for something else

I don't even care about going home very often, I just want good pay and no driver-facing cameras.

No matter what I do, it seems like I'm always too far off from the parking spot I'm trying to get. How do you guys get your back end of the trailer aligned perfectly with the spot you're trying to get? What are you using as your reference points? I've been using about 1 and a half spaces away from the spot I'm trying to get as a reference point, I did try to go a little farther one time but that didn't help at all and I was still too far off. What do I do to get better at positioning myself.
