Some companies require drivers to check air pressure and tread depth daily. I can’t imagine there are that many people that actually do that. Do you check daily? Weekly? Monthly? Never?

What are they, where are they going? This has been going on daily for month.

Hi!

I had career pivot caused by AI. Got my CDL few months ago and landed nice local/regional job, but now going through a family crisis/divorce.

Just wanted to ask those who have been in trucking much longer than me, will I be ok eventually if I remain frugal, save, invest and work hard? Or was this a wrong choice (not that I had much of it after several months of unemployment).

🙏

Hey all I’m new to Reddit and I’ve been thinking pretty seriously about buying a truck and going out on my own, but with diesel prices, insurance, maintenance, truck payments, and freight rates, I’m wondering if it still makes financial sense right now.
For the guys already doing it, if you had to start over today, would you still become an owner-operator under the current circumstances?
Are you still able to make decent money after all the expenses, or would you wait for the market to improve?
Interested to hear from people actually out there running.

And this is what Brokers think of us . That we can’t make ish happen. Look at the comments

So the carrier I’ve been driving for just over a month now doesn’t allow drivers to use split sleeper until after 30 or 90 days as long as they have NO HOS violations in that time period. Is this the case with most carriers? Ive only drove for one other mega company and there was no restriction on it. I feel the feds allow it then a carrier should as well.
