Being trapped at work, but not getting paid if you’re not moving seems like it would suck big time. Also heard rates have dropped because people are buying less shit.

I did but ever since this bear market I have kinda just been driving more. To your lonely point, this last daisy chain Ive been on has landed me deep into the Midwest and I started in eastern PA and I've been having lots of fun out here because I can stop at more places on my way. The east coast fucking sucks and is lifeless because you are trapped to highway rest stops. Truckers are far more welcome in the Midwest too, drivers more considerate.

I'm talking about US treasury bills. 4.7% annual return on a 6 month bill right now. Risk free. Normies don't know about this and get 3% from a savings account.

>> No.52702846

I'd never want to live out there lol but to travel through and maybe have a day off out there is better than it is within 20mi of Baltimore

Also other anon is talking about us treasury bills IE savings bonds. It's a good and safe place to park money that you have no intentions on accessing for a long time, and it grows too.

In today's day and age the hooker market is entirely online as one would imagine. But yeah it's real. I'll be in a park area and its so obvious lol, a little normal sedan pulls into the trucker lot and a skimpy dressed mess gets out and gets in the truck.
I've heard trucker stories from "back in the day" and some still hold true, like there's a rest stop in VA, along 95 between the BWI and Richmond where you can still find "escorts" hanging out. High traffic area.
Thankfully I have a few cool encounters in my travels per month it seems, and my charisma is high so I haven't had to buy my sex, but sometimes it does get painfully close.

I used to get coffee at 5 am in the Wawa at 95/495 in Maryland and see hookers in there all the time. Dunno if it's related to all the truckers that park around there or general whoring.

The other day my truck broke down so I walked to the food depot and bought two things of White Castle so it was convenient as I didn’t have to spend $7 for a chicken sandwich at the truck stop. Long story short I have been constipated for 4 days and I am starting to see the suffering to pay ratio a lot less worth it.

Sir have you seen the obesity rates among truckers? All I’m saying is the variety at truck stops is terrible. It’s not like we can hop in a car and fill it up with groceries at Walmart. Although, I do have a buddy who keeps a motorcycle on the back of his rig. I take responsibility for my butthole.

I'm not going to lie anons I'm a bit intimidated to get a CDL. Although I'm sure with practice that will go away. Is there anyone who was in the same position as me when they started out? Anyone got any tips for me. I'm seriously considering getting a CDL because I'm tired of this wage slave life

It worked to get me out of wagie construction life. There are plenty of companies that will pay for schooling but they will keep you in a six month to one year contract. Study up on your pre trip and air brake test you’ll be alright.

If you are a good regular driver you will pick it up with ease. The issue on the road is that you are always compensating for other drivers being retarded. You'll have a dash cam, so make sure you always do the "right" thing as best you can and if anything happens you know everything is covered.
If you leave behind your home life for the road, you can make upwards of $10k in a month. I have come very close to that number so I know it's possible.
Also it's down bad, they need drivers like mad for all types of routes. But the real money is made on the long long routes, where you daisy chain trips together and literally just go wherever the routes take you.

To me wage slavery is subjective. I want to say trucking is still a grey area between wage slavery and comfy life. It goes back to the old avoid pain and seek pleasure. 4chan has caused a lot of confusion for me that’s for sure but the alternative is Reddit.

Human beings are irrational so of course we have to put up with them. And linehaul routes pay the best. These routed are fedex ups xpo logistics old dominion etc. I’ve often thought that every driver license should be a CDL and if you can’t pass the CDL test you shouldn’t be able to drive but even that wouldn’t work because as you know we see crazy truckers all the time.

Even if you get your CDL permit there is no guarantee that you will pass unless your friend is the CDL examiner.

Brotip - keep some fiber supplements in your truck so you're not shitting bricks all the time, I like the gummy ones the best. Being constipated from eating trash food all the time is how you end up with colon cancer at worst or wearing diapers in your late 50's at best.

I'm assuming if I use any kind of cannabis product even if I practice moderation and would never use any drug besides caffeine or nicotine before operating a vehicle I should just abandon all hope of ever getting a CDL? I use the delta-8 stuff to help with insomnia and joint pain and even though it's federally legal it pops hot on a piss or hair test same as weed.

Or any cannabis product for that matter now that I think of it if it pops “hot” on a drug test you can’t drive. Likely you are going to have to drive locally for a company that doesn’t piss test you but the dot can do it at any time they want. Once you get your CDL you give up a metric Fuck ton of rights.
