@TheFireman203 Thanks so much...You should have been there, trying to get 2 old men to change lanes and weave around each other....now that was funny, they had no idea what I was doing filming this..
XD LOL!!! my friends and i used to do that with 4 wheelers in the boonies around my home town (population... who ever is in your car as you drive through...lol)
This one is funnier than a rubber crutch. I think unless I knew for sure the Company was cool about it, or you had Union protection like me, I would be careful about posting something like this. I recently heard of a woman who was posting videos taken from inside her cab, that seemed very innocent, who got fired from a large trucking outfit. I was once fired for merely taking pictures of bad brakes, bad king pins , safety issues. Funny chit none the less !!
I threaten to run over every little old lady walking on the side walk for 6 weeks.. Trust me, It did suck....Finally, my anger has subsided, but only about 3 months after they turned our trucks back up!! I never want to experience that again..EVER!!!
Lizard, if you got a Teamster job, you wouldn;t care how fast you had to drive. In fact, the faster you drove, the less you would make $.. Studies have shown anything over 60 mph consumes a LOT more fuel, and wears tires out more quickly as well. It truly is counter productive.
Well metalcommie, Im sure i make alot more money that you do and do it more efficiently. And i would never join a union because I am a business man and think unions are one of the most "counter productive" things anyone could do with themselves,but thanks for the comment anyway.
Metal commie? Where does "that" come from? If you make more money than me, that is great, I am never jealous of anyone making more, more is good. I completely fail to see how you could not understand how being a Union member would not be beneficial to a worker however. With very few exceptions, it is a fact that Union workers enjoy better wages, medical plans, and PENSION plans versus non Union workers. Isn;t that why anyone works, just as you say, to "earn as much as they can"? welcome comment
Like I said unions are counter productive, they ruin business not make it better. If you need any examples just look toward detroit. Ya I know unions might have been a good thing in the 1920s, but we are in a global economy now. And for your higher wages thats not true because by the time you pay your union dues and all that your wage isnt any higher. And as far as pensions go people should take responsibilty for thier own retirement not unions or goverment.
OK Lizard, according to you, workers #1 should be paid less, so we can compete with cheap foreign labor. I am guessing 10-12 bucks an hour instead of the 25-30 that Union jobs often pay.. ok. #2.. Lizard logic, OUT of that much lower wage, people should then fund their own retirement, no company pension and no Social Security. Well, what kind of America do you want for people? Nobody could afford much when they lived like that, they damn sure could not afford a car. You sure that'll work ?
#1 I never said people should make $12 per hour or $30. My point is that your $30 an hour union job after dues and taxes is really only a $8-$9 per hour job. And yes I do think people should fund their on retirement not their nabors, and no its not just unions its taxes the American revolution was fought over a 3% tax. So you tell me what kind of a America do you want to live in, cause to me it sounds like some kind of socialist comunist state.
OK, my 22/hour Teamster job, has $53.00 a month Union dues, and I get taxed like anyone else making 22 an hour. It comes out to way more than 8-9 bucks an hour. I am not going argue with you about taxes, not my issue. The US military alone costs more than 3% from everyone in taxes, you want to chop 80-90% of our military? When you have a Union job, you also have retirement built right in, usually around $100/ month per year of service. Nobody else is funding my retirement. :-)
Hmmmmm. So sorry to here that! We were doing 60 mph on a virtually deserted highway and the video was filmed over a 12 hour period. Sorry if the editing made it look as if we were being careless. I just cant imagine someone dying by simply changing lanes.
Well he was doing that, then the road got quiet and he and the other guys decided to play ''chicken''. (thats when 2 lorries drive straight at each other at high speed and the first one to swerve out of the way is the chicken) Well, when they were doing that nobody moved out of the way and they crashed straight into each other and he was killed instantly. I had to cancel my first trip to america to go to his funeral.
I have..and a pillow for the arse....But my sciatic nerve is still giving me fits, think it may be a bulging disk in my lower back..Who knows fer sure..Time for the DOC!!
This is one of my favorite videos of all time. I laughed so hard continuously and to show everyone around me, I still come back to it once in a while. lol
haha , that was awesome , and well done , you are a clown , and this was awesome , awesome , I tell you , haha , absolutely pissed myself laughing , really enjoyed , thanks!! :)
Mine is getting worse mileage, but most of the fellows running flat lands are doing better.. I run the Appalachians every week.. They are considering turning us back up just because we are missing appointments by mere minutes... Coincidence?? I think not ;)
You could also run 55, you would be even more late. Some times you get better fuel mileage in a lower gear, so if your doing 55, try 9th instead of 10th, in the Volvo it should tell you what your getting instantaniously. My dad has a Freightliner Cascadia, 455 HP Detroit, 13 speed and 3.42 rear end, at 70 loaded he can get 6.5 MPH, and slightly less at 75. It varies truck to truck, you can have an identical truck and one truck can have a problem that just kills mileage unknowingly.
I know for a fact that my rail pressure is not set like the other trucks simply because I cannot pull a hill.. So when they cut me back, it made inclines that much worse..... sigh.....I was getting 7.0, now, not so much....
What do your loads weigh in at? 7 is good I dont know why they would touch it. I'm assuming you have a Cummin's motor, or do you have a Volvo motor? 10 speed?
I hate the Super 10's, I prefer a direct 10, probably cheaper than a Super 10 too. Don't know too much about the Volvo motors, except they're pretty quiet and sound like a Mercedes Benz that are in Freightliners.
