Daycab bed

Hi guys for those of you with a daycab and have long waits, especially in the middle of the night. I made this bed. It’s a plywood and wife just put 3 inch foam and a blanket then stapled a yoga mat to the bottom. Man so comfy i sleep good.

Is this normal???

So, this just happened to my drive tire and I was sure it was a flat. But, it isn’t flat at all. It just looks like it was peeled like an orange…

Let me guess the the truck driva was sued, his face was plastered throughout every news media being labeled as a criminal for going 2 mph under speed limit 😮

is Schneider underpaying me?

I know it's already a shit pay but I need experience. My employment offer was .44 cpm and my paychecks for the past 3 months say .42. maybe another Schneider driver can help me understand.

There's an epidemic

These damn four wheelers dont know how to get up to speed on the highway. Every time I pass an on ramp some a-hole driver thinks its okay to merge into the travel lanes going 35-40 while the speed limit is 70. This is extremely dangerous and inconvenient. Is there not any way to solve this issue?

Do you talk to yourself?

I dont, yeah never. Talk to myself? Psh, what do you think I am, some sort of lunatic?

This job has taken my sanity, put it in a blender, then fed it to me, and then I shat it all over the floor.

Send help.

Forgive me truckers, for I have sinned.

I was merging from one highway to another and I had to get over two lanes in order to actually get on the highway.

I let the truck driver pass me on the left before quickly getting over behind him. My chance is slipping, if I don’t slip behind the truck now, I risk having to get off the highway entirely.

What I see next horrifies me: an oversized load banner.

I check my rear view mirror and confirm my greatest fear. Yes, my dumb ass merged between an oversized load and the follow truck.

Thankfully the next lane over was completely clear and so I immediately bailed. But I feel completely horrible for having cut off the follow truck, and I would like to confess my sin and beg god for forgiveness.

I’m sorry.

Bruh I’m so over it.😒

I got an email saying someone called in saying drove her and multiple cars off the road, now mind you I have one of the best drive scores for my job. And I’ve never gotten a complaint in the whole year I’ve worked here or my years driving for the Military. So… I’m wondering what petty asshole got mad they couldn’t go around me or beat me to an exit? These 4 wheelers are trying to ruin peoples jobs.😭

Mounting bicycle

Is this going to get me in trouble or is this ok? I desperately need a way to get around and exercise out here and finally got a bicycle on vacation at home but am not sure if this is ok. The air lines are free moving and not getting pinched or moved by the bike. Bike is mounted with multiple bungees and a ratchet strap- takes a lot of force to try and move it around so will be secure while driving. Thanks drivers🚛💨

2nd day on mybnew job

I was running down the road when suddenly i felt.....something. i thought i blew a steer tire so i pulled over to inspect but saw nothing wrong. I got back in and resumed and everything felt fine. About 20min later im on I-65 and i feel a sort of grinding feeling and out of the corner of my eye i see a spark. So, i immediately pulled over on the inside shoulder of the interstate.

The wheel was smoking and a couple lug nuts looked like they had melted the surrounding metal. The hub was smoking and when i looked inside the tire i saw what you see in the picture. The break assembly failed somehow and chewed up the rotor. Now the wheel is tilted as if it wants to fall off.

All this on my 2nd day of my new job.
