Details, dammit.
If you’re gonna post here talking all this “I’m 22yrs old with little to no experience and I can’t find a job. How do I x, y or z?” at least tell us where you are or where you want to be. Wouldn’t hurt to throw in what experience you DO have no matter how little. I could suggest dozens and dozens of companies or options to someone living in the western 11, especially Cali, Az, Utah and Nevada but I don’t know shit about the east coast. A lot of guys here do. I think your chances of getting the information you’re looking for would increase greatly. I’m not taking the time to drag that info out of you myself and most people won’t. If you’re wanting genuine help from people who have good information and advice to offer then do your part and come prepared.

If you’re stuck on a RR crossing, call the number on the blue sign!
I possess the need to remind everyone of this after today’s incident in Pecos. I’ll reserve judgement until after the completion of the investigation, but if incompetence on the part of the driver, escorts or police are at play this will have been a needless incident, and an infuriating one for anyone who has or is working on the railroad, including yours truly.
“I didn’t know about the sign” is not an excuse. Drivers really ought to be criminally charged for causing these incidents…..

Alright which of you is this
Saw on my way to work. I can stand parking across lanes in a fairly empty lot, but to do that in a handicap spot.

Reserved parking
At some point drivers going to need to do something about this crap. These places like Pilot and flying J are here for US… it’s $22 for reserved and now a lot of these places have more reserved parking than free… this seems like robbery on the DRIVERS

My father who worked under swift for 24 years got fired after one accident caused by someone else...
Greeting, and happy new years eve. It's a shitty.. way to start off new years eve by swift to fire my dad who has been working for 24 year under them. Yesterday he was in an accident where someone pushed him off into the snow in Oregon cause of a driver on thier phone. This morning swift called him and fired him telling he was going 63mph which was too fast. I don't understand how the speed system works but is 63mph too fast? Is it over for my dad? Is it possible to find a new job? Is it possible for a lawsuit. We don't know anywhere but I found a place called prime. (Also My dad has never been in a accident)

Next up on the butchers block...
Next one up for the vultures at Ruskin Amazon.
Airbags have been laying on the ground behind the axles for weeks...
Then last week the fuel tank went missing...
Now there's a ratchet strap holding the passenger side door...
Turning into a regular scrap over here!

Don't you just love it when you hit a pothole and your drive tire sends a rock into your mirror
Immediately after getting washed, this happened and thankfully, since it's on the small mirror it's not a dot violation but I still need to send it and get it repaired. Five years of driving, and i've never broken a mirror

Local ltl
Covered a local route today and these docks are wild. One of them I had to blind side like 180° from the street to get into the damn thing. Probably didn't help that the guy I was covering for drives a day cab but still gotta give y'all props
