how to make receivers take you sooner I guess.jpg

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

Lol like I said

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:19 PM

#

For sure 😂

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:25 PM

#

There is a Knight Reefer Volvo basically pointed at me

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:27 PM

#

LOL.
Silly Wolvo

#

They only ordered like five or six pallets... Don't know why they aren't done unloading yet

#

I finally get to see how much data my laptop uses when connected to my hotspot
It's used a total of 10GB since the 14th of this month 👀

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:30 PM

#

Because they are slow. I spent 13 hours at a Walgreens once. 11 hours in they told me I could leave and come back

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

After three hours I call my DM and make damn sure my detention clock is started.

#

Then they tell the customer my detention clock is started.

After that it usually takes them an hour or two at most.

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:31 PM

#

I gotta start that manually, and update it every hour

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

Automatic arrival but manual detention

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

So I don't even get sleep

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:32 PM

#

I'll keep my automatic detention lmao

#

That's BS
I got 22hrs worth of detention due to Cargill parking me for a full 24hrs and some change.

#

Cargill/Lineage/Miller, Walgreens, Sygma and Smith/Kroeger can eat my shorts.

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:33 PM

#

I figured out that I probably wont get paid after 5 hours of detention anyway

#

USX likes to short its drivers

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

tbh Knight isn't supposed to pay us detention after fourteen hours but they will

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

They cap us at $50, but I got a good manager

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:35 PM

#

Take care of your drivers, they take care of you.

My dispatchers learned this.

#

I have a CDL.
If they want me, they need to keep me happy. c: Leverage is nice.

#

Mind you, I am VERY easy to please. Give me miles to run and time with my lady and I will not complain

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

Exactly. My manager has gone as far as to argue with a shipper for me on my behalf, when they refused to load me.

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:36 PM

#

Fantastic!

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:38 PM

#

I arrived 4 hours earIy, left 3 hours after my appointment, and returned the next day, first thing in the morning. They handed me a paper that wasn't completely filled, told me to sign it, saying I was late. I refused.

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:38 PM

#

Wal-Mart falsely terminated me from their account because a guard stated I was "Watching videos while driving" and padded on "oh he also ran one of our stop signs" to make me look even worse.

My phone is lined up (unfortunately) with my hood mirror. So when I look into it, it looks like I'm watching my phone. To top it off, it was just playing music. :/

My DM went to bat for me and my terminal manager dropped it and got me an 1,800 mile load to make up for the false report.

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:39 PM

#

Damn

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:40 PM

#

I was still removed from the Wal-Mart account, but screw those guys. I hate Wal-Mart anyway. Last thing I want to be doing is contributing to their shenanigans.

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:40 PM

#

Ye

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:40 PM

#

Also, they tried to get you to sign a false document?!

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:41 PM

#

The shipper did, yes

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:41 PM

#

Yeah, I figured. Dude, that's awful.

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:41 PM

#

I never got that load though

#

Hope it is still sitting there

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:42 PM

#

One of my stops in Vegas actually said that they were short a case of 17 steaks. Started to accuse me and I reminded him that HE cut the damn seal.

#

He shut up real quick, took his lumper check and buzzed off.

#

oh god that reminds me
I am not looking forward to writing out another check for this load

god I hate lumpers

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:43 PM

#

Don't get me started with them.

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:43 PM

#

They barely know english and they're all unionized.

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:43 PM

#

Easily one of the worst scams out right now.

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:44 PM

#

Yup.
I keep forgetting to tell dispatch I ended up paying the lumper for a load I did like two weeks ago and they never gave me a receipt. I was unaware the money came out of my paycheck and was reimbursed via their system.

#

Probably why that paycheck was $350 instead of $500.
Big oof.

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:45 PM

#

I damn near shit myself the first time I was told to pay $150 for an unload. I called my company and they took care of me

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:46 PM

#

Lumpers piss me off to no end. Companies like Cargill are too cheap to hire their own people so they contract out and they make money by the trailer via their little scheme.

#

They know we have no choice because we can't touch that crap. Contamination and whatnot.

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:47 PM

#

I almost just left without my bills that day

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:47 PM

#

Well, I definitely can't handle raw meat nor can I legally operate a forklift

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

Because they unloaded me, then told me to pay

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:48 PM

#

Dude, I know a guy who SHUT THE REEFER OFF and left it detached in their door. Threatened to leave if they didn't take an EFS check because they wanted cash. They had to unload the trailer or else it was going to be ruined right at their dock and they would be responsible.

#

Needless to say they took a check afterwards.

#

iirc they wanted $350. Absolute racket

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

Wow, I wish I could do that

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

Technically, you can. If you don't mind dispatch getting a little salty. 😂

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

I am box only

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:49 PM

#

Aww, dang

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

Ye

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

I do miss dryvans... So simple. Drop and hooks every day

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

I wanna do reefer

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:50 PM

#

Fuel the truck every 1,200 miles and keep rolling, no need to worry about reefer fuel

#

What are you making at USX anyway? per mile, I mean.

I'm at 42cpm at Knight and that was my starting pay

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:52 PM

#

Also, US Xpress wont install an APU in my truck, even though my dog can easily mess with the radio, turn on the blinker, and lock my doors, plus the heat, so I need to keep the engine running

#

35 cpm right now

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:52 PM

#

Not bad!

#

Knight doesn't have APU's either. But it doesn't bother me, one less thing I have to worry about breaking. I just idle the truck if it's 70*F or hotter

#

'Cause 70F when the sun is out turns into 90F in the cab real quick

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

This truck shuts down at 68F and above 28F

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

iirc mine shuts down at 65F
But if I don't shut it off at all when I stop it'll stay running all night

#

Woke up last night freezing my balls off. Was 57F outside and like 30F inside my rig

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

My god your people are slow

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

oh god what happened lmao

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

Are you unloaded yet?

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

oh, nope

#

they charge $40 per billable hour here so I'm not surprised they're making sure it takes an hour

#

~~knobgobblers~~

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

I think I might get a receipt book. I got an idea.

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

oh?

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

So they charge 40 per hour, and my company doesn't do detention well, so, I say we start charging them ourselves.

#

Let's say, 50 an hour you sit?

#

Lol

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

That's brilliant.

#

Pretty sure that's something you could get fired for if it gets reported though. 😂

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 9:59 PM

#

Dang

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 10:00 PM

#

I'd ask your company about it. If they say no... Probably not a good idea but I'm not saying don't make them eat their just desserts

#

The reason I say it isn't a good idea is because it's not your truck.
Plus they agree to a certain amount of detention whenever the company books the load after a certain amount of time from what I know.

#

When I get my rig, I plan on limiting it to 80MPH.
So essentially, once I figure out how much it costs me to sit for a day, I'll divide that by the hour and charge based on that amount so if I have to sit for a day I can recoop my losses or at least half of them for that day.

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

Hmm.

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

Knight charges $24/hr.
I get $12/hr of that $24.
I know if I run 600 miles in a day (And I usually do) I can make about $250.

That's at .42 a mile.

Imagine 750 miles a day at $5 a mile.
Nobody would hire me to haul their freight 😂

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 10:05 PM

#

I average about 550 miles myself

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

What's your rig limited to?

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

68

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

I'm limited to 65
YIKES

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 10:06 PM

#

I either get short loads, or I get loads that are delivered 2 days after I get there

#

So no point to rush

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

Pretty much.

#

Running reefer almost everything is just in time freight

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

Yeah I pass Knight all the time.

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 10:07 PM

#

I get loads over 1,300 miles relatively consistently too

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 10:08 PM

#

Prime and TMC are the slowest trucks I have ever seen

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

oh my god

#

May Trucking too

#

57MPH are you kidding me?! This isn't the EU

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 10:09 PM

#

Yes, I just started running into them

#

Really, that slow?

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

Prime is 57MPH I know that much

#

Every now and again I hit a May only doing 57

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

I seen a few at 63

#

Prime trucks

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 10:10 PM

#

I think Prime's flatbeds are 57

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

Ah haven't seen many of them

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

which is funny because it negates the tarp pay and higher ppm due to running less miles

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

TMC is 62

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 10:11 PM

#

So is Wilson/Jim Palmer

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 10:12 PM

#

But 57 is deadly on the interstate. Speeds out here are 75-80 most of the time

#

Well, my 14 hour clock just expired. WTF with your people man.

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

I have no idea 😂
Yeah dude, Cali ain't no joke! I do not run 55 on these freeways. 65 all day long

#

55 or 65 though, the guy that slams into you at 100MPH from behind while looking at his phone is still dead.

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 10:16 PM

#

Dude, I was 5 miles from your dropoff today

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 10:16 PM

It's so nice!

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 10:24 PM

They had a wreck happen as I was coming in, I ended up on a street parallel to the highway to avoid it

thick cedar Sep 24, 2019, 10:27 PM

#

oh NO

#

That sucks. Guess I should be glad I wasn't on the highway.

stable lynx Sep 24, 2019, 10:33 PM

thick cedar Sep 25, 2019, 12:27 AM

#

Finally.

#

Have to call claims because the lumpers stole a case of meat and put it down as missing.

#

I'm saying they stole it... I don't know that for a fact.

But every time I deal with meat and lumpers, some always goes missing.

#

I literally have no issues with any other freight.

My door almost smashed me.

#

Was opening the rear doors. Secured one of them. Went to secure the other and remembered I didn't have a door tie. In a lapse of very, very poor judgement I left the door unsecured and went back to remove a plank from inside the trailer. The door swung back around, and had the dock worker not been there to yell at me I don't think I would've noticed in time to put up my elbow and stop it.

TL;DR I just cheated decapitation by a 400lb door by simply putting my elbow up in a blocking stance as if about to be punched.

@queen brook The reason that they have to wait is because the spreader should never stop for a longer amount of time so they'd rather see the trucks lining up on a line waiting than the asphalt laying itself having to stop

#

And sometimes the distance between the roadworks and the place they load up can be quite long

It's good to see the generation now slowly edge away from that. Instead of doing what each individuals like to do.
Course, it'll be tough to fully fade away from that. In a collective society where they emphasize group over individuals, it's almost taboo to stick out and do what you like to do.

The boss is maybe going to buy a new Scania S, he likes them but he also has good partnership with DAF

Does anyone know why theres no cabover trucks in the us? Shorter wheel base is very useful.

thick cedar Oct 4, 2019, 8:04 AM

#

Less space.

#

Mostly in the cabin.
The doghouse sits between you and the passenger and you have to climb over the transmission housing to get to the bed

#

Maintenance is also a pain because lifting the cab up tosses everything you have all over the place

#

But yeah... I do still want a cabover

humble grail Oct 4, 2019, 8:13 AM

#

Simple solution, just carry a cardboard box and put all the stuff in it before lifting the cab kappa

paper bear Oct 4, 2019, 8:31 AM

#

a lot of our cab overs have a flat floor

#

if not, they usually have only a very minimal step, like 6 inches

#

its down to the aero dynamics why they like to stretch them out, and better engine cooling

#

but mainly just because they can

Yeah cabovers here doesn't have a huge step as Disney says, my R has about a 10cm step in the middle basically and the new S has a completely flat floor, the Volvo FH only have like 4 or 5cm and I think the Mercedes Actros and Renault T Range are completely flat as well

@humble grail Mhmm i think he will but then it will be a CF for sure, i would like a XF because its a lot bigger and has more space. But idk i'll see.

Ok so basically for my Product Design A Level I am making a washing facility to go inside a truck cabin. It would be really helpful if any drivers (or really anyone who owns a vehicle of any kind) can fill in this form for me as it will help with my research, thanks

Automotive Sink Questionnaire

For my A-level product design project I am making a fold-able sink for the interior of a vehicle (Truck cab, caravan, etc). It would be really helpful if you could fill in this survey so I can find out a bit more about its demand.

paper bear Oct 4, 2019, 4:59 PM

#

a sink? think

#

personally i wouldnt want one, im never out for more than 1 or 2 nights in a row. and ive never really thought, man i wish i had a sink. Basically becuase there is no space for it

#

i would rather have the space, than a sink

#

plus, that would look pretty ugly in a truck cab imo

Like what got you points taken off and or caused you to fail your test,(If you did) and how did you fix or would have fixed it if done again.

what's the trick? turning wider?

thick cedar Oct 12, 2019, 5:04 PM

Well...I guess it's not much harder to drive forwards, but backwards is preety hard

patent bolt Oct 12, 2019, 5:41 PM

#

Nah easy as pie

ocean jolt Oct 12, 2019, 5:45 PM

would be easier if the dolly was longer

thick cedar Oct 12, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

Not easy if you do it first time

ocean jolt Oct 12, 2019, 5:52 PM

#

the guys who drive gigaliner, combos (with a dolly) or b doubles are da real mvps tho

paper bear Oct 12, 2019, 5:53 PM

#

b doubles?

#

b doubles arent much different to the above combo. and youll find anything with more than 2 articulation points doesnt usually reverse much

#

so no, imo the above combos have it a bit worse, as they are expected to reverse a lot more often

ocean jolt Oct 12, 2019, 5:54 PM

#

yeah but the further appart those articulation point aren the easier it is to reverse, you don't have to jerk the truck too much to get it to turn the other way

paper bear Oct 12, 2019, 5:56 PM

#

that statement makes no sense, the articulation points are further apart yes, this means you have to jerk the truck more to get it to turn the other way

#

not less

ocean jolt Oct 12, 2019, 5:57 PM

#

i had it backwards in my head, yeah

paper bear Oct 12, 2019, 5:57 PM

#

but the theory behind b doubles and rigid with a dolly is the same

#

youve got 2 articulation points

#

so same logic

patent bolt Oct 12, 2019, 7:44 PM

#

Worst combo to reverse is the one that has a normal trailer after the truck and the short and tiny wagon behind like in ETS2, those are a bloody nightmare to reverse and takes up so much space...

paper bear Oct 12, 2019, 7:45 PM

#

dollhouse i think theyre called?

patent bolt Oct 12, 2019, 7:47 PM

#

Yeah might very well be, I dunno all I know is that they're a nightmare to reverse and takes up so much more space manouvering in any direction compared to normal 25.25

queen brook Oct 12, 2019, 7:47 PM

#

its called a calf but you can really call it whatever you want

#

I've heard B doubles are a pain in the arse

#

you cant be hasty or it's an instant frick up

#

and you can't do a fast manouver to straighten the trailer a bit like with a normal dolly trailer

#

but eh, never driven one so idk

thick cedar Oct 12, 2019, 7:50 PM

#

Well so i drove b doubles then i guess
