As a truck driver in Europe, 10$ for a shower seems extremely expensive. Here I have never paid more then the equivalent to 4$ to take a shower.

If your smart you’ll never have to pay for a shower because it comes free with rewards

[@erivera0270]

Welcome to America, where our capitalistic way of life fucks our citizens and "essential workers" every way we can. Only thing that makes our great country so great is that if you work hard enough and build your own business, you to can fuck your employees every way you can in the name of profits. OK, off soap box.

[@Koolmoedeesimpson]

I’m guessing in Europe you guys do things different like for instance you put the dollar sign after the number and here we do this $10 But inflation has our country upside down so yeah they take advantage of us routinely

[@ALEXTHETRUCKINGGUY]

Good luck!! It's a very relaxing job. Just hit the cruise control and enjoy the ride. One tip is before you drive wherever you're delivering to look up the place on Google maps satellite view to find and pin the entrance that your truck can fit in. The normal truck gps' usually don't get the entrances right for semi trucks

[@alexclement7221]

22:00: You need to get into the habit of ALWAYS pulling up to the lip of the trailer, then lower it down until it's not only touching the 5th wheel saddle, put also resting on it a bit. Then, when you back under, you know that the landing gear is off the ground, and you can quickly wind it up. Also, older 48' trailer had the kingpin set closer to the nose by a full foot. I've seen everything from a 3' setback on an old 'curved nose' 40' trailer to a full 6' setback on an experimental 57' trailer Swift was using in California hooked to a special daycab about 30 years ago.

Thinking about trucking, all I see is videos of people already on the road. What’s it like actually training to drive?

[@damius1980]

160 hours? Damn how long is it in total? I had my license in 50 hours driving lessons, 3 theoretical exams and 3 practical exams. That's truck and trailer in the Netherlands, my country. You can do about half the driving lessons and 1 practical exam less, but then you can only drive boxtrucks.

Hey Alex, my old boss and I are both running a final run. I'm so ready to get out of this Peterbuilt, and into my Freightliner It's not funny! We're just leaving Charolette North Carolina to Wilmington North Carolina, then to Raeford. I got my stuff packed up and we're leaving for Georgia! Variant promised me a new Freightliner, I'm naming Fred after my son who passed away 3 years ago. He also was a trucker, and a good kid. Someday I'll hopefully meet you on the road, maybe ask for your autograph? LOL! Keep safe and after I've got 1,000 miles behind me, I'll start doing some videos. Just one thing though, Ralph is waiting for you! You looked so comfy in your tree house (upper bunk) lol. Alex🐒!

I promise you won’t get a new truck. You get a used truck first and then after it’s time to sell the truck you get a new truck. And that came from the shops mouth in Dallas if corporate is watching my comments again😊

The stop sign for the three directions you mentioned in that parking lot is actually pretty standard. Everyone inside the parking lot had stop signs because they are maneuvering through a parking lot. The vehicles approaching you from the right were inbound from the street or highway, so it makes perfect sense for them to have the right of way.

I don’t know if there are used today but I liked using a heater bag, it would keep 3 cans of soup super hot, you needed to use gloves to open because they were so hot. I would usually eat about 2 am when I would stop for the night, then start after morning traffic. 95 is a tough road to travel because of the tolls in New York and the massive 4 wheel traffic. Since I lived in Connecticut the last place I was sent was New England. To close to home don’t you know. I use to go out for 6 to 8 weeks. It took me 6 weeks to watch Star Wars because I always fell asleep with in 5 to 10 minutes. Waiting to pick up is a real pain in the back side. Everyone thinks you time is free.

It used to be that: If you fuel a certain minimum amount (used to be 50 gallon) you're shower is free. At Flying J you can get a driver-customer card and each time you fuel you swipe your loyalty card and you 'collect' shower credits, good for the whole month (I believe).
