where do truckers hang out online/chat groups/communities?

Are you talking about TTR?

 

If only there were a place where Truckers could Report about trucking, if only..........

 

There's a 'trucker subReddit' for truckers. I don't know how to access it though. it's on Reddit though.

 

thats gold

That post made me have to clean beer off my monitor screen.

 

I get drawn in by the Pot-Bellied Prophets of Doom on another site...I'm glad the politics section of TTR is behind a password, because I need to stay far away. Lol

 

It's like a train wreck , once seen, cannot be unseen and hard to look away.

 

I know of several online communities where Truckers hang out. There are some Facebook Groups too. TTR is good about not going all nazi about this, but it's considered a faux pas to spam an online community in another one. I would suggest getting input from @bullhaulerswife before linking to any!

 

The password for Politics is thickskin. All lower case. One word. I knew that secretly you wanted to have the password and observe the reactionaries at play. Kinda like zoo day. Or doing research on a class paper about extreme abberant behavior amongst the blue collar set.
It's not really all that bad. After a short period of time it dawns on people that what they're seeing and hearing in Politics is the same old stuff from the same old people. It's almost like it's scripted and the predictability of who will say what makes for boring reading. Extremely boring.
We need the Political section to keep all the wild eyed conspiracy theorists and paranoid schizoids from scattering their weirdness all over the main forum.
There are a few rules but they're easy to follow. Read them at the top of the Political page.
Good luck.
