"no trucks" allowed signs

Lol too funny.
I could never get to the company yard if I paid attention to the "no truck" signs.
Seems like ther is one on evey road leading to the yard.
Got pulled over once by the local city. Just happened to be a rookie cop. His backup cop showed up and told him take a good look at the name and city on the door. If he isn't speeding don't ever stop him again.

 

no jokes heres...just lmao about your people next door...but yes you can make some money letting someone drive that truck, but it can be a head ache, i mean you would have to either latch on to a bigger company as an owner op and the have a driver drive for you, or you would have to go thru the process of running your own authority...but there is money to be made...as an owner op latched onto a bigger company who does the dispatch you should make around $0.95-$1.25 a mile then you can pay your driver around $0.25-$0.28 a mile and there will be some room to make some money but at the same time under those same times you could loose you butt as well...good luck!

 

.25 to .28 cpm
Now that's just knee slappin funny. That's rookie pay.
Then of course that'll be paid on a 1099 making the driver responsible for all taxes ss so by the time that's all paid driver makes a WHOPPING .16'cpm
Roflmao.

 

i have been fortunate over my years of driving either my personal vehicle or a company truck when ever i was dealing with a "rookie cop, DOT whatever"..

when i was a rookie driver,(what seems like a hundred years ago now), i had a co-driver with me at the time. i got stopped in California at a scale house. my trailer was over weight by about 600 pounds. i was told to go around the back and work the tandems then drive back up again. it was a rookie DOT cop. he was as polite as all heck. my trailer was still slightly over weight as i did not slide the tandems enough. he told me to wait a minute, he conferred with his supervisor, and in the most polite manner apologizes he still had to give me an over weight ticket as i wasn't allowed to slide my tandems any more. best #### ticket i ever got....!!! only about $80 i believe back then. i mailed in the fine a few days later.

it was "mutual respect" for one another. he and i were BOTH rookies, even the supervisor saw that i was new at this too.

but some rookies, are a bit too "gung ho" at times......they will settle down some day.

 

Trying to get good with the neighbors is very benificial however that will take some sacrifice on your part as well. Trucks aren't allowed down my street but for the most part nobody but my cop neighbor across the street has ever mentioned anything about me bringing a truck home. Even he wasn't being a jerk, but just reminding me that if the Mayor or some other city official saw it sitting for several days in a row in the front that it would put him in a bad position for not enforcing the law, however he doesn't care if it's just to wash it or work on it real quick. I built a drive in the back of my yard that backs up against a commercial zone so like I said other then washing or working on a truck, I'll park a truck back there. Again, nobody says anything to me but I also don't run over their stuff, I don't start a truck after dark or before sunlight, and for the most part I try to keep it out of sight, out of mind. I love trucks and if I was your neighbor you could park your truck outside my window and idle it all night long, but not everybody shares our love for trucks. All my neighbors and myself get along pretty good. Heck, today I'm watching the cops K-9 dog at my house because he's having a new roof put on and he's doing clothed detective work. If you or your neighbor won't find a middle ground then unfortunatly the law is probably on her side and your truck will have to go.

I would address the real problem. Sounds like you got to much money... For a small fee I can fix that problem or you can keep buying trucks and take care of it yourself...

 

these lines literally had me in tears i was laughing so hard

"I now own two semis and don't know the first thing about the trucking business."

"I,m sure I'm going to get in trouble soon because my house looks like a truckstop. My next door neighbor already hates me because I caught one of her cats in one of those glue traps you set out for rats and now it doesn't hardly have any hair left."

"I cut the corner too close and ran over some "prize winning" rose bushes of hers. I'm pretty sure they won't win any prizes now, since they look like a steamroller went over them."


hahahahahaha! i'm in tears again hahahaha!! thank you so much for posting on this forum

 

You guys really believed this story?

 

i think he's "full of it" because as he claimed he ain't driven a truck in over 30 years. still though, whether it be 30 years or 30 DAYS, one DOES NOT FORGET how to drive a bobtail truck. one WILL ALWAYS KNOW they will will have to drive a bobtail and take corners/turns accordingly. even then too, he said it was a single axle.

he's story is just that.

but if any truth to it, i hope his neighbors complain a whole lot about the trucks parked on his property.

i know i would.
