Google Maps has gotten a lot of truckers in trouble. Those directions are for a Toyota Prius, not an 80-foot long Peterbilt.
The grunts (drivers) in this industry have been saying this for years. There is no "driver shortage", just a shortage of drivers willing to put up...
Heh, you just described most of Florida.
Maybe this guy was a novice car hauler. The FIRST thing I would have asked was whether this thing was a runner or was inop. Then I would have done...
Looks like the tractor was thirsty and needed a drink...
Seems like he took the name on his trailer a bit too literally...
Took the words right out of my mouth. Seems like every time I hear about a trucker waking up to a burning bed, it was because he either pissed off...
"Piss furnace". HAHAHAHA!!!!!
Without going into details, this is exactly what happened to me.

I'll put it this way: a few years ago I got something on my record that, if I'd had a dash cam at the time, would NOT be there. I've been running...
I chalk it up to forgetfulness. I was a car hauler in a PTO-equipped truck until recently (new job) and there was one time I had completely...
That second picture should be featured in every driver's ed class. A vehicle which could literally crush you like a bug and make you disappear...
It looks like it's folded under (?)
This thread reminds me of how hanging out in a truck stop is just like that cantina scene in "Star Wars"...
I'm not sure about the F-450 but I see F-350's/Ram 3500's doing this all the time. And it's actually illegal in a lot of cases because the loads...
Seems the only drivers finding loads out of FL on the regular are either hauling orange juice, beef or cars. FL is a consumer state whose main...
The only positive news I have is that, last time I was there, they still kept the Diner the same. Otherwise, yes, there are still a few...
I love the part where they say it's unknown whether the driver received any citations. I know of at least one regulation he violated: 49 CFR...
But that means they would actually have to be using their mirrors. Apparently, that hasn't been happening with some of their drivers.
