Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Most despised vehicles on the road.

Lmao maybe the guy that actually owns heavy equipment and moves it himself and actually does Farm stuff with semi times. Kind of the in-between the guy with some common sense not the Super Trucker that's a f****** dumbass nor the guy that knows nothing about it truck. Not picking on you personally you've actually seemed like a pretty decent guy from the other stuff I read through the forms

Huhh? I'll try to explain. You have been going off on truckers in general supposedly, or it seems to me you have, like they're messing with you by continuing trying to make a pass. Right? Like they see you back there and don't give a chit.

It's great if you think so, it's a gripe thread and all.

Some drivers are no doubt mistaken in their driving actions, absolutely. Just there's a bunch more involved than that, with 2-3 million trucks, truckers, loads, and millions of miles of different roads... The answer is not to always back off to let YOU go by... Got places to go and people to see just like you. There's all sorts of scenarios. That is my input. A lot of times folks on short trips, have a short trip mentality. Minutes count to us all. That guy passing could have been stuck behind the other for 20 minutes or 50 miles before you were even there etc... Or maybe it's his first big trip and he's screwing up. Hard to say everytime. That's my input. Understandable not everyone is going to be happy all the time.

Oh, LOL, a particular number of horsepower means absolutely nothing because it is not a variable under control. Doesn't matter, it is what it is and there's not a damned thing I can do about it. The owner of the company buys several million dollars worth of trucks and trailers a year. In long haul OTR reefer trucking, as in the sector I work, hp is but one variable. They didn't derate these. He has other sectors it may be more profitable to run higher horsepower, MT to AK, oil fields, flat bed, heavy haul... To me, I was assigned truck XX, take it or leave it. I'm not a motorhead, just do this for a decent paycheck. Sure, could use more power, but want doesn't mean I am going to get it, I've asked, and assigning a number to it, well, there's just not a single fuuck I give.. I don't care about chit that I have no influence on. I need to know how far between fuelings, how to fairly accurately estimate time get places to avoid late fees, how to keep it on the road, how to pass (lol). My trips are generally about 2000 miles one way with a metric ass ton of possible complications, or not as I prefer. Honestly, besides avoiding 911, it's mostly an endurance game, not motorhead stuff at all. Throw some washer fluid in each trip is all these need. I have plenty of concerns at work besides my boss' truck's hp. So if, "fuuck if I know" , doesn't satisfy Sam's question to your satisfaction, it doesn't matter to me one iota because that is not what I focus on, nor is what you do for that matter, by your description, anything similar to what I do. You dig?

Often, if the coockksucker being passed, and he's experienced enough to know, he can back off for ten fuuckkng seconds and everyone wins. Saying anybody's time is more valuable than anyone else's is bullchit
That’s what I was referring to

LOL

Rephrased.

In the scenario of a big rig taking a long time to pass another, often, when an experienced and curtious driver is being overtaken he will back off just a little to to let his fellow trucker pass more quickly, which will also benefit the rest of the traveling public. All motorist's time is equally important. Sigh.

I've not been going off on truckers..

Why?

For those of you who hate certain makes / models of vehicle, have you considered the possibility that you have a mental illness?

other than rugers truck stop sex life.....that was good info.......bob

That's my vote.

The owner is either a Black, a Mexican or a Spigger.

Boomer,
350hp? With an automatic? For long haul? In 2020!

Started the game with 300 Macks and Cummins, 318 Detroit.
350 was a hoss. In the 80's. For a company truck.

Went over the road running 315 Cummins in 55mph recorded/62mph governed trucks.

People who haven't lived the job can't possibly understand the job.


How about running the max allowed speed, on a flat road.
You catch a slow car. As you pass, he speeds up. You can gain 5mph,
For a limited time. He pulls ahead. The slows down.
Over, and over.
I found a way to deal with that.
It worked. But....

Thing is, that car driver doesn't even know he is doing it most times.
And he wonders why you don't just go around him.

Looks like my truck rollin' back from the beaver pond.

Is beaver pond a new name for strip clubs. Lol. Edk

Available 350-605 hp. Ours is a fixed use. We don't go heavy haul this week, reefer next, . Loads are 42-45k max to keep under 80k gross. I think it is a 13L mofo and guessing 350. But, it Shirely matters not for reasons mentioned. There's damned little chrome, no stacks, and the Jake is easily reached, very effective and not real loud. It's under 13'6", about 72' long combined, doesn't use or leak any fluids, has a 12 speed, which also doesn't really matter. The horror.



The last sentence is golden. Absolutely true. Damned truckers should just speed up!

Oh for phucqk's sake....


LOL Yah, it was T going off on truckers not you, sorry. LOL

I was wondering what the heck happened to T's intelligent postings that turned into near incomprehendable late night babel. All makes sense now. I'll keep it simple. Never claimed ST status nor ever will. It's a job, nothing more. Only numbers that matter, matter, nothing more. I like Missouri...



So, you were apparently just going off on me. Sigh, I am but a simple truckologist.... That'd been a time saver had I clued it... GFY in Campfire fashion.

Sorry, that was meant for WYCoyote.

I originally was going off on tripled up RVers, but kind of went off on a tangent when others brought truckers into the equation.
I wouldn't say I have been going off on them (truckers, that is) as I have repeatedly mentioned that I understand their importance and that they're not the only ones seemingly going out of their way to be difficult to pass:









This thread was about despised vehicles...not necessarily vehicles or drivers that I believe shouldn't be allowed on the road. I hope I haven't given that impression.

I seen an old, fat toothless woman on the news one night

She says “ifn u bought it-a truck brought it”

LOL

It's all fine, fun and good....

I thought my cruuse control set and forget line was the highlight of my entire week's contribution...


Also, only 50,300 miles since 7 June. I took a few days off.

Does this guy fit into the douche nozzle spectrum?
