Thats what its like in the Golden State, apparently. No wonder everyone is leaving that ****hole!
In my case, and every other driver in the Sacramento area, they not only have mutiple photographs of the vehicle from behind, but from the front...
Yeap! Its all about "profit", although technically .gov doesnt engage in profit. They are in the business of using the "laws", fair, rightly or...
I know this is an old thread, but I was nailed by one of these camera's in the Sacramento area about six months ago. Went back and recorded the...
Local work means you will have to deal with the public, or union warehouses or union type places, so you had best be real good at "people skills",...
Sure, but most of those are hauling fuel. They dont usually hire drivers with less then 5 years of CDL driving.
Yeah the older trucks when I started out, you revved them up higher then the new motors. Just loved COE's (NOT!) that were popular back then.
Yeah, never heard of any Eaton tranny like that. Makes NO sense at all.
No overtime usually means you are working for a "bad" company, IMO. As for load/ unload, when I was still hauling fuel: Red=Regular. White was...
Lots of highways are zoned for 65 MPH in CA. Some highways are zoned for 70 MPH. As for non-commercial vehicles pulling trailers, they seem to go...
Might help save lives if bus riders had to wear seat belts. Unless I am mistaken, they do not. Yeah, the bus driver looks like he wasn't paying...
Might be why CF hasn't been around for 16 years now! :D
When I started out, we used to top load, but they switched to bottom loading back then, mostly due to the pollution from the fuel vapors. This was...
I started out hauling fuels many years ago. Make sure the tanks will take all your fuel. Make sure each compartment is properly marked and how...
HVAC is a great job too. The evil that is out in the world is palpable. Been prepped since "stuff"-fer-brains, Billy-boy was in office. Few...
There is NO low-hole on an 7 speed Eaton transmission. You have to start out in first gear. Sure on a 10 Speed Eaton you can use second with a...
Hah! 7 speeds! The first time I drove one was on night shift, and I didn't even know that any sane freight company pulling doubles would use a 7...
Yeah I loved the old CAT motors myself. The 13 speed was always my favorite tranny too. Trucking is a DYING industry. Without auto-S**tty...
What, they are not putting a trailer brake lever or dash handle on your rigs?
Heck, the USA was on a slower downhill slide even when I was a young man. Most people who were older then myself, including the WWII generation,...
