Today, let’s talk about something crucial: regulations. These are the rules of the road that go beyond just stopping at red lights and obeying speed limits. In the trucking world, there’s a whole layer of…

i am so tired of being honked at by fucking undergrads who think i should be able to make my turn when i literally cannot. girl if i go right now i will block a lane of traffic Shut The Fuck Up

#i know you’re mad you have to wait a minute at this turn but it’s rush hour and there’s nothing i can do.#learn some fucking patience or get off the road.#or dudes in their giant fuckoff trucks who get mad because i *cant see over the trucks in front of me to turn* because my car sits low!!#i thought Ohio drivers were bad but nothing compares to undergrads in louisiana #you know how many times some fuckin kid has almost pulled out into me since I moved here??#i don’t know if ive ever used my horn before moving here #jesus christ #here’s my petition to raise the driving age to 21.#this has been. a vent post #sef speaks

02.23.2024

Today, Romano got to relax and have fun.

#today's romano #hetalia #aph romano #hws romano #02.23.2024 #yesterday was not very nice for me #i was rained on a lot #and a stupid lifted truck splashed me with water #and at night on my way home from the lab #my first bus was so late i was going to miss my transfer to the second #and apparently I looked so miserable when the first bus driver said this #that he also said he would fix it #so the night manager drove me home on a spare mini bus #like legit to my front door #i didnt have to walk 0.4 miles from stop to home in the rain #(also missing my transfer meant i had to wait roughly and hour for the next bus)#however today is gonna be a good day #we have a grad student social tonight #and its board game night #im bringing as many as i can carry with me today #ive got catan #ive got codenames #ive got one night werewolf #ive got exploding kittens #and almost every expansion pack #ive got three decks of playing cards #(theory11 is anyone else a collector?)#and a few others that are fun but not as well know #the department only has uno sushi go and coup #which are fun but ill single-handedly quadruple the board games

dream time

#have to get this down before i forget it #been having weird/not good dreams lately until last night (mere hours ago bc its still dark out this morning)#writing this on my way to work and in the dream i was on the bus to work. however an important difference between reality and the dream is #that in the dream i was sharing my bus ride w mr larroquette. as one does #this was like mouse bites era john im sorry thats the best way i can describe how he looked #and i guess it was like we kinda knew each other?? and we ended up talking about poetry writing and stuff #wish i could remember the specifics of that #at some point we got off the bus and got onto another one unfortunately a common theme in my dreams is going somewhere in a complicated way #and on that bus ride i sat next to him again and he was like oh i normally listen to music for this part of my trip #and i was like ope don't wanna keep you from that! but he didnt mind talking for a bit more and we talked abt music #bc apparently id recommended he listen to the album big world by joe jackson and he said he didn't like it on first listen but hed try again #when we got off this bus and were walkin to where i worked (i guess he worked around there too???)#we went back to talking abt writing and i was talking abt my old poetry writing class and the kind of things i wrote #and he expressed an interest in reading those old poems and i was like oh ok i guess ill look for em #but i was thinking to myself noooo those arent good i wrote those in high school you dont wanna read themmm #and then it became like hard to get down the street bc people were moving slow on the sidewalk (classic new york moment)#so we went out into the street to like cut around #and there was some truck like causing things to get backed up #and so john started like yelling at the truck driver to move out of there LMAO #and i think thats all i remember w him. but i just remember talking w him was very calming and comforting #come on man. what are you doing in my dreams #later in my dream i just remember telling people about this so im telling you all now #anyway .

Welp in my attempt to leave my full time job and start working part time re: crushing burnout, I have instead ended up with two part time jobs working more or less the same amount of hours

#??? how did this happen #dialing back my hours at the shred truck driver job to 2 days a week #and now 2 days a week I'm driving a shuttle van to and from the airport #which is less physically strenuous and pays better so ?? maybe it'll even out idk #truckin along

there is a special place in hell for people who lay on their horn at you when you're being a reasonable and safe driver

#oh noooo am i waiting for a safe time to turn???#i'm so evil you're right truck you honk at me several times #you make sure to rev your engine as you speed past after we do our turns so i know you're big and tough #exactly the driving home experience i wanted after staying 15 min late at work #bc people wouldn't stop talking during a mostly meaningless meeting #bc they are apparently unaware that some people get there early and have already done their eight hours #at least it's extra money i guess but.#i hope the truck driver gets launched out of a cannon #chilly chats

I just know that these three would be insufferable to sit in a car with.

#they are on their way to pick up Charlie from a date with Willow and Maxwell keeps joking about her getting killed and it's really--#--stressing Winona out.#Winona is the only one who can (properly) drive yet Maxwell has the worst case of backseat driver known to mankind.#Wilson makes them stop every half hour so he can step outside and not hurl because he's prone to motion sickness.#and you know the backhand thing dads do when you open a bag of snacks and they want some? yeah. Winona core.#Wilson does not understand road safety though he treats it the same way he treats the laboratory (hence why he has no license)#he begs Winona to go faster so they can pass a car he thinks is ugly and Winona is like THIS IS A SCHOOL ZONE and Wilson goes idc?????? I--#don't want to look at that stupid truck. and then Maxwell goes im switching radio stations without asking

i hate how cds are being phased out (at least around here) its so stupid

like i get “oh now we have spotify” and shit but???

like, you buy a cd, no ads, nothing, you pay for the cd, and maybe a player. thats all?

no subscription needed. no ads. nothing.

why?? whats the point? i get it, playlists are easy and portable, but ? just because one works “better” in some peoples opinions?

honestly, the idea of not being able to listen to anything and i mean anything without having to either listen to ads or pay to have no ads is just fucking sad.

physical media will always be better in my opinion

#brought to you by the fact my father has a million cds #and his work truck (thats 2023 model mind you) has no cd player #it pisses me off so much #is that happening to cars too?#like i understand “oh but radio” but ? they also have cut ins which annoy me to death but yk i understand why. its always been like that #(i think) and thats fine. bur seriously? what about playlists? you cannot expect some 60 year old thats a chemical truck driver to know how #to use spotify or be bothered to #because (new ones) trucks have this BULLSHIT system that if it thinks your not “focused” on driving itll fucking beep (VERRY loudly)#so youre telling me. a 60 year old. truck driver. that gets essentially screamed at anytime he even reaches over to get a water. has time t #learn how playlists work. make playlists. then Still get screamed at for changing it. and again. ads #yea no fuck that #im not able to go with him but fuck #its not uncommon for him to spend 5~ hours if not more in his truck at any point in time.#and he isnt able to listen to music without ads?#bullshit i call fucking bullshit.#i can barely go 1 hour in a car alone with no music #and he has to go the whole fucking time or suffer while trying to find something remotely good on the radio #if you cant tell im salty abt this #BECAUSE #hes finally able to bring it home (look his boss favors him and EVERYONE knows it)#and theres no reason to even sit in it #its a day cab which is already boring as FUCK and now no music #god this is so long #j’s crying and listening to music

i have a disease and it´s called "when i try to not work i´m really bored and just work anyway or just stare into space"

#either that or i stare at the steam page for actual hours trying to decide on games to play #but not playing any games #i played through most that i have and i should pick new game but my brain doesn´t know what game i want and i´m ):#you can suggest some if you want i really like the resident evil games and disco elysium #but i´m open to pretty much anything that´s not a shopkeeper or management game #i already do so much store keeping and managing ):#like idk truck drivers probably don´t feel relaxed playing truck driving simulator you know #oh i also like planet zoo sometimes but i need creative brain juice for it #resident evil games are great because i have adhd and giving me a little anxiety and a little spook sometimes keeps me focused (:#sorry for rambling i too am stuck in the weird void between crimbus and the new year #it´s not even a unhealthy productivity thing it´s just idk what else to do with myself you know

is there anything more frustrating than "well i COULD have been here within about 40 minutes, but it took over twice as long for no fucking reason at all", really

#tütensuppe #at least my coworkers can sympathize they also have long commutes #and are subject to the shitshow that is deutsche bahn #the section thats just clogged completely all day long is an intersection in a major industrial area #so like a million freight trucks go through every day #there is no reason for it to be solid dark red on maps for hours on end!!! literally nothing unusual is going on there #i THINK its bc a) some lanes merge in several places #b) multiple traffic lights and truck drivers are impatient so they drive even if theres not enough space for the whole vehicle #to clear the intersection so it blocks the road until there is space again (have witnessed this lots of times)#in the meantime cars pile up at the light in the other direction bc the intersection is blocked!#this goes back and forth a few times. everyone is pissed. nothing is moving forward.

Love and respect to this post!

A PSA about trucks from a truck driver

I and some colleagues were talking about how we wish everyone could see the safety videos that our company was showing us, because I don’t think most people understand how traffic works in a truck. So here’s some things we wish everyone on the road knew.

- we’re not kidding about tailgating. If you’re right behind us on a straight highway? Chances are we have NO IDEA you’re there, which means we can’t anticipate any of your movements. Plus slowing down takes multiple downshifts, so we might start decreasing speed way earlier than you expect.

- We’re not kidding about any of our blind spots. WE CAN’T SEE YOU, GUYS.

- That bit about slowing down taking a while? The same goes for when you’re in front of us. Don’t cut off a truck. Oh god, PLEASE don’t cut off a truck. If you cut me off, I’m not irritated, I’m terrified. For YOU. It can take 7 to 9 seconds for us to stop. DON’T CUT OFF TRUCKS.

- Before you get mad about how slow we’re going on the highway, keep in mind that many companies govern their vehicles so they literally CAN’T go over 60 or 65. This is a good thing, I promise. Because…

- Do you know what happens when a car meets a truck in an accident? The car gets totaled and the truck needs a new coat of paint. You will not win this fight. I know nobody likes getting stuck behind a big dumb truck, but it’s not worth your life.

We are trying our best to protect you from our 80,000 pound death machines. Please help us out.

#omg i WISH more trucks in my area were still governed #nothing scarier than the doubled dump truck deciding to pass me at 130 km per hour and i KNOW that driver hasn't watched any safety videos

Mastering Time Management and Route Planning are Key Strategies for New Truckers

Alright, now we are looking at the fourth part in this series–route planning and time management, a real make-or-break skill for new truckers. When you’re on the road, managing time well can mean the difference between a smooth, stress-free haul and one filled with delays, rushed stops, and unnecessary headaches. Think of route planning as more than just plotting a course; it’s like building a…
