I know your pain lol

Don't worry when self-driving Cars come out that'll go back to being true.
EhwazTiwaz
At least you got a bit of space there, so keep space truckin!
Doobiousmaximus
Read The Big Rig by Steve Viscelli, trucking isn't what it used to be
arrowmacx
Amen

My teacher said we need to learn how to do math in our head, because nobody will carry a calculator in their pocket.
pokenar
my third grade teacher said we absolutely had to learn cursive, because no one would accept print after that.
PolishPancakeWithCanadianMapleSyrup
I was shocked when my 3rd grader told me he wouldnt be learning cursive. Altho he can use the computer better than I can. So.
Phenome
How do you feel about the advent of self driving vehicles?
weldr67
Welder/fabricator here. I used to work on car haulers. Damn good job, it was.
battlepants
My teacher told me that I wouldn't have a calculator when I grow up -> computer programmer.
JarlBalgruufTheBallin
From the son of a truck driver i knows its hard. Mad respect.

I truly feel bad for the truckers I see here in Houston. People drive like shit here.
arrowmacx
I was born in Pasadena and raised in Galena Park. And you are correct. But being a cab driver there was a blast.
ICanOnlyGrowCactus
Can you send me one of those anti lot lizard stickers? I had one from when I hitchhiked but lost it over the years and it was my favorite.

"Swift" on the side will prevent any romantic entrepreneurs from approaching.

As a wannabe van driver I need to read this upcoming post.
LiteralNazi
I hit Columbia, SC afternoon traffic on Wednesday, then Atlanta morning traffic on Thursday. I need to trip plan better...
grimmnir
Man I hate going thru Atlanta. I do what I can to try to go thru at 2am but doesn't always work out.

Why is a variation of this being posted every day.
arrowmacx
I was stuck in 35 dallas traffic and thinking about those other ones. So I snapped the pic and took it to a bad place lol
JustAnotherPOG
So you would rather do it for free?

I couldn't handle getting paid by the mile when so many external factors dictate how long it takes to cover those miles.
Zegin
I need to get this message out to truckers. As someone who has worked at a Truck Stop, please stop throwing your filthy piss jugs around.
arrowmacx
Jesus I feel sorry for anyone that works a truck stop.
thedarkcanuck
I use a bigger jug that can take a few pisses, and empty it discreetly when its full. After a few weeks I wash it and recycle it.

Ok but Ray, you haven't been on the road in 20 fuckin years
ArdentSlacker
The few times I've used any kind of container... I've been... VERY careful with it. I mean, it's full of pee. I don't want it on me. 1+
ArdentSlacker
2/2 I don't even want it to touch the outside of the container. The SMELL, man.
Nathanyel
I would imagine in the US you don't get paid for time stuck in traffic.
grimmnir
Correct. Most drivers are paid by the mile. I own my truck so I get paid a lump sum for the load, but it's similar in that I am not making-
grimmnir
- money if I'm delayed or sitting looking for a load.
1414145691
I've seen this meme about 10 times in the last 2 days... if you drive trucks you likely aren't getting 'paid'
arrowmacx
I made this meme as a response to the others hyping the job. I took this sitting in traffic on 35 tonight. As for money? Yeah. We do.
arrowmacx
It just isnt worth it.
illbeyourfuckleberry
I quit driving to work in an office, so not worth it. Went back to truck driving. Fuck office people.
arrowmacx
+1 for username. And yeah.
illbeyourfuckleberry
Although, at this point I'm not sure which is worse: Other drivers, or office people. Ya can't win.
Cheomesh
Well, if it makes you feel any better @OP, self-driving trucks aren't far away.
arrowmacx
I would love to witness the annihilation of this industry . the pay is good. The people suck. Walk around a truck stop one time and see.
Cheomesh
Oh, I have. I will pass on that.
Oogibah
I dunno I wish my teachers would have told me I can make 70-100k a year driving a truck.
MoondanceRadio
You're a steering wheel minder Harry.
milpitAsian
It takes a huge toll on your family life, especially if you're a long hauler.
DumPutz
then why the f....did the neighbor move in next door
PolishPancakeWithCanadianMapleSyrup
I love driving and totally would have loved to be a truck driver. But Im female and told it wasn't the safest career choice for us.
oscararar
you don't make that much, at least not right away and not without owning your own truck, but then there are additional expenses
Sabretooth47
I made 63k my first year as a company driver. I average about 67k five years in. It's not 70k, but pretty hecking good.
SpruceCaboose
I'm glad it pays well, because it's crazy important and most of us couldn't handle the madness-inducing vehicle time.
FourFans
You could double that figure and I wouldn't do it. I haaaaaaate long road trips
ArdentSlacker
I hate short trips too. It's... not as bad at, like, 3 am, after the drunks have gone home. (bars close at 2 am here. Cops + drunks = no)
DumPutz
i love druving but even i have my limit
KekMemerson
200K a year for driving? You would be insane not to take that job
magisch
What if you already make 200k elsewhere.
Oogibah
I literally drove from kansas city, missouri to new orleans for fun
FourFans
That sounds horrible. I've gone coast to coast twice and I hope I never have to do it again
NeatoBuilds
So what do you like to do?
