Jay it's Eric! I was in South Carolina today waiting to deliver, the middle bay was clear, this cop pulled in the spot, this not-so SWIFT driver just backed in without paying attention and crunch! I have it all on video too! I was late for my delivery, I was laughing so hard.

Put your truck in performance mode push the end where the shifter is. Use your Jake you should only use brakes in town. Even then I barely use my brakes. You can definitely tell you’re a rookie. Lol that shit isn’t even bad put your big boy pants on. Lol and be careful putting trailer brakes on in that weather you don’t want your trailer brakes to freeze.

If you don't feel safe driving, even just a little bit. Don't drive. No load is worth it. Put it in a message on your on board system of your trucks computer to the company. Then if they still try to force you to drive. The DOT can come down on them, not you.

The ABS thing is normal I think. I'm at Crete and every newer freightliner I've had the abs light come on and off. Freightliners have got to be the most uncomfortable truck I've driver. I don't like the seat position to the steering wheel and pedals and the seats are rock hard if you don't have a cushion

Adding to that most companies are gonna gear between 2.64 and 3.08. Taller gears mean lower RPMs at cruise. You won’t climb mountains fast but overall fuel mileage is better

I'm not handling mid-west shipment right now and you didn't want east coast N-S traffic. I've got 7 months before I turn my attention away from trucking, at that point I will finally be a success at a career I will have done for 38 years. The deal I made to you got your attention, you can stay in touch if you want? Like I said though, I wish you good luck and don't play in tornado alley! You got my # text and say hi once in a while. My little company has made both me and my partner very well off! I can say I will retire a millionaire! Keep safe nice haircut btw!

You always go into sleep birth, if not driving it's off duty not driving

@RidingWithJay Жыл бұрын

Incorrect off duty is for when you aren’t in the truck

@skyeram Жыл бұрын

No, that's ABSOLUTELY not true. Read the FMCSA for yourself. According to an actual FMCSA auditor, I asked that exact question because a DOT cop tried that sht with me. Sleeper birth is an off dyluty status. The reg that they keep giving is a "definition" of sleeper birth, NOT how it's calculated. That being said, you're a company driver, so you should do as they want you to. Most DOT officers try to "interpret" the FMCSA to meet whatsoever they want.
