I bet they cover all the “10” codes like it’s another book of the Bible.Nice. I actually have *two* books I took off my deceased maternal grandfather-in-law.
“Dictionary of CB Lingo - 1977 Update,” by The Editors of “Elementary Electronics,” © 1976, Davis Publications, Inc.
AND
“All About CB Two-Way Radio,” by Hy Siegel (yes, for real) and Radio Shack’s Technical Staff (yes, for real), © 1977, Radio Shack (second edition, first printing).
Man, if only I could upload the covers of these babies …
They sure do, in chapter four, “The Secret Language of CB,” which also includes a section on the “New, Secret Truckers’ 12-Code.”I bet they cover all the “10” codes like it’s another book of the Bible.
I’m gonna have to catch up.Like 12-49: “**** you and the horse you rode in on.”
Yeah, sure it is.Most rest stops are full of trucks for that reason. The trucking industry is way different than it used to be. Their is no cooking the books or doubling the books. It’s all tracked now.
No, but I have a cousin who drives from Indiana to Texas and back - straight through - every week.You ever been audited?
Independent drivers get away with it easier. Company drivers don’t. He gets caught and it’s not like it used to be. A lot of drivers were getered out. 🤣No, but I have a cousin who drives from Indiana to Texas and back - straight through - every week.
He keeps 2 sets of books, so I know it still happens. I agree it's more difficult than it used to be.
Yeah, he's independent. I agree driving for a company is way different.Independent drivers get away with it easier. Company drivers don’t. He gets caught and it’s not like it used to be. A lot of drivers were getered out. 🤣
Hard life either way.Yeah, he's independent. I agree driving for a company is way different.
I think people would freak out if they knew how many foreign drivers are on the road.Hard life either way.
I wouldn’t. Lots of Eastern Europe guys etc.. it’s more diverse than ever.I think people would freak out if they knew how many foreign drivers are on the road.
A lot of Indians, which surprises me.I wouldn’t. Lots of Eastern Europe guys etc.. it’s more diverse than ever.
Shut up, bitch. This is my thread.I am trying to figure out what is becoming a puzzle to me... I want to be a local driver. I don't want OTR work. I just want to drive locally, a "regular" shift and come home. I know it won't pay 100K+, and that is fine (I'm not looking for $10.00 hour either - lets not get crazy...). Problem is I keep running into these "companies" who want to have you doing overnights, weeks, even month long runs and I am NOT interested. I had this one company ask me when I was available to work. They got all happy when I said immediately - and THEN drop a bomb on me, telling me I had to go to Utah for 3 weeks (I'm in Georgia). I still have to get my CDL A, which I don't see as a problem, but then there is the physical training. Obviously I don't have a big rig parked in my driveway so I'm looking at places to get all that training, and endorsements (I had a lot of great help in my other post, btw). But now the problem is expectations from these companies providing "training". If they all expect me to drive cross country for them, even though that is not my goal by any stretch of the imagination - then maybe I'm in the wrong industry? I hate to think that, but unless someone can tell me better - how can I get all of my required skills and endorsements without being forced, at some point, to drive for days or weeks at a time??? That doesn't help me get where I want to be at all.
Smack dat ass!! Driver.Shut up, bitch. This is my thread.
