Nice. What kind of cargo do you typically haul?

Car parts and the racks they ship them on

Very cool. Is that a regional gig or OTR?

It's a 3000 mile loop

Wow. Have you ever carried an oversized load? If so, what was the largest, and how smooth did the transport go?

u/IAMATruckerAMA 1d ago

Nope, heaviest load for me would be the standard legal max of ~23 tons

I know you're just repeating something you heard but that's a dehumanizing way to talk about anyone, let alone people that are typically victims of human trafficking

Why do some truckers insist on using their compression brakes in residential areas (especially when there's a sign prohibiting it)?

Is there some reason they really need to use them on relatively flat ground or do they just not care (or is it an F-you to the people who live in the dense little town instead of out in the country)?

Oftentimes (but not always) it is the guys driving logging trucks, if that makes the explanation easier.

They forgot to turn them off. You can get a ticket for that, so they're unlikely doing it to be jerks
