I don’t trust these trucks on the road at all

Theyre 3rd party contractors that pay $24 an hour. Of course the only drivers that would accept that pay are straight out of school. Then they dont get properly trained how to drive like they would at a place like Schneider

Yungwizlord@reddit

Lol i started with Schneider and I got 700$ a week running hard. so like me, I believe many people would prefer 24$ an hour, I am making 900-1100 at an amazon AFP at that rate now

[-]

God_KingGilgamesh@reddit

I promise there is better pay out there. I did local mail runs for 31.56/hr bouncing back and forth between 2 post offices 54 hours a week. Paid 1700 a week.

[-]

HatedReaper@reddit

Then at Schneider, its Trucking boot camp where most of the suckers get weeded out. Its more lenient than Walmart though.

when i visited raleigh and phoenix those guys fuckin PUNCH it driving down i-10 in phx and i-40 in rdu area. up there with those BMW drivers who weave in and out of lanes

Brandog74@reddit

Really how to judge without knowing. I've been driving for over twenty years and I work with company this is what I haul sure there bad drivers but there is bad every where. Werner Schneider swift don't lump the whole group cause there s few that make the rest hard working ones look bad.

[-]

RudeOrSarcasticPt2@reddit

You say Schneider and all those jokes come rolling back.

[-]

Brandog74@reddit

There's good and bad in all. I started at schitndler.lol

Deep-Stop-680@reddit

Can't stand either, let alone. I dont know how to park and love cutting me off my truck, only governed 65 and passmart 68

[-]

truckinfarmer379@reddit

I always give them plenty of space, especially if there’s a red tractor up front with several body panels/fairings missing.

Must be where the white trash drivers get them too

I heard an interesting take about how that phrase has subtle implicit superiority implications, really got me thinking that humans have too much time to think about nonsense 😆 🤣 😂

ShoddySpace5680@reddit

That’s a little racist

[-]

forkystabbyveggie@reddit

Nope, got mine from trading my meth pipe collection

[-]

DonBoy30@reddit

I’m pretty sure they just took an expired old and dusty CDL license out of a drawer and threw it at one of the three drivers in that rig to share.

[-]

Ornery_Ads@reddit

I found mine at the bottom of a cereal box...

[-]

Dangerous-Moods@reddit

Hahahaha! Thats an accurate description

[-]

Environmental-Pear40@reddit

No one does, they don't even trust each other. Also If you see a rented trailer just keep your distance, they're just as bad. I wouldn't be surprised, at all, if they caught some of these contractors without even a class a.

[-]

Confident_Season1207@reddit

I don't trust most semis on the road. I don't even trust my own company's semi drivers. The amount of them on their phone swerving back and forth while speeding up and slowing down is fucking irritating to see. Too many of them seem braindead behind the wheel

[-]

angrydeuce@reddit

dude its getting warm here so its dump truck season and those mfs are fucking hammer down swerving all over the place trying to squeeze in one more load for the day, fucking unreal. There was just one yesterday hit a fuckin schoolbus full of kids here by me. Just insanity, running people off the road and shit.

[-]

Academic-Question-83@reddit

In my area they just opened up a new uranium mine. These guys hauling with radioactive placards are going Mach Jesus on a 65 mph road. I’ve watched a few of them almost go off the shoulder. They cracked the windshield on my car one day, they don’t tarp the load quite right sometimes.

[-]

angrydeuce@reddit

Oh yeah those fuckers never tarp here, they dont want to waste the time and think their "Not Responsible For Damage" sign on their gate actually makes it so.

[-]

Academic-Question-83@reddit

These guys don’t even have those signs! They just do not give a damn about anyone else. Driving like they have extra lives.

Dumps, bull wagons, and hoppers are usually pulled by the same drivers.... Just saying

[-]

Confident_Season1207@reddit

Hopefully they don't have a license after hitting a school bus

[-]

angrydeuce@reddit

Yeah one would think. Added 45 minutes to a 20 mile commute so that was fuckin cool

[-]

PShubbs91@reddit

I saw one of those guys full.on flipping out, screaming at his windshield on traffic swerving around. Then he drove up the shoulder. Crazy.

[-]

KatieTSO@reddit

I'm a bus driver. We have a 1 month suspension for first offense phone use and instant termination for second offense. So it's not phones that are why our drivers suck. I just don't trust them by default because I've seen the bottom 20% or so do dumb shit.

[-]

Independent_Leg7358@reddit

I prefer a good driver on a phone then a bad driver not on the phone.

[-]

KatieTSO@reddit

No like we can't even use them for calls hands free lol

[-]

Independent_Leg7358@reddit

And we're on a group text with dispatch. 😇

[-]

KatieTSO@reddit

Lmao wow. We call our dispatch with radios or by stepping off the bus with our phones.

[-]

CutTurbulent3015@reddit

Same, I can't trust MOST of my own cohaulers, they've wrecked so much shit it's no wonder why we can't have nice things at my company. Blown engines, transmissions, drive lines, driving shit till the wheels fall off, accidents, it drives me fucking insane. I have one of the best trucks and trailers in the small fleet thankfully, and I intend on keeping it that way.

[-]

DellTheEngie@reddit

I live in Chicago and every single day I see trucks doing 65 in the 2nd to left lane (out of 4-5) while cars fly around them on both sides, ignoring the "no trucks 2 left lanes signs". It's enraging.

[-]

Significant_Ad5335@reddit

I find this comment funny because just as the truck drivers are ignoring the signs. So are the regular cars posted speed limit in most of chicago area is 55- 60mph

[-]

DellTheEngie@reddit

You have to match traffic flow or stay in the far right lane on the interstate regardless of the speed limit.

[-]

AbroadLost6831@reddit

Our trucks are governed at 65. Most are for insurance reasons. For the 2 left lanes thing though i haven't ran into that issue just yet.

[-]

Jonas_Venture_Sr@reddit

Yea, but could you imagine paying a dollar more for that 11" Doc Johnson dildo?

[-]

DanEpiCa@reddit

Or God forbid waiting a day longer for your order to arrive.

[-]

Gweedo1967@reddit

Or God forbid people go to a brick and mortar and get it themselves.

Bruh I ain't buying the 11 inch premium doc Johnson in person lmao

[-]

NightAesthetic@reddit

Why do they go faster than the governed Amazon vans😭

[-]

ButterOnToads@reddit (OP)

Because those trucks aren’t governed

[-]

Sterling_____Archer@reddit

Amazon contractors are easily the most dangerous trucks on the highways.

Stay far far away.

[-]

LikwidHappiness@reddit

I raise you super ego. I had one pass me on i80 in PA a couple weeks ago going 97 mph!!! That's what the follow distance radar said at least. Absolutely blew my fucking doors off and I was doing like 71 or 72.

This was also down a hill right before a curve in the fucking rain. I thought for sure I was about to watch this dude wreck taking this curve but amazingly he did not. He did however get off at the very next exit and blew right through a stop sign. Unbelievable

[-]

bigblackglock17@reddit

I feel like this would be a story Smokey and the bandit could tell. (Never watched it)

[-]

geojetsetter@reddit

I watched a fuel hauler pull the same shit in WV. Like my guy I dont want to roll in the crater youre going to make if you blow up the side of a mountain. In that instance im 100 percent fine with the state shredding your cdl on the side of the road.

[-]

TurbulentMoney1773@reddit

Amazon and container drivers i do not trust. Those are the easiest loads to get and they always suck at driving

[-]

CutTurbulent3015@reddit

First time I saw one on I-94/I-80 years ago teetering on one set of duals coming around an on ramp, that was enough for my eyes.

Visual-Ad-6396@reddit

You shouldn’t lol

[-]

joe25rs@reddit

I watched one of these trucks actively road raging with a work van on 95 just the other day. The trailer driver nearly swiped the guy off the road. Then the work van went around and swerved at the cab. All this at 6:30 am at 70 mph. I gave them a lot of room.

[-]

icy_penguins@reddit

Guess you cant state facts on reddit cause why would they let you do that.

Theyre the worst drivers on i35 in iowa and theyre all from Minnesota, use ypur imagination to fill in the rest.

[-]

icy_penguins@reddit

On the I-35 corridor(iowa-minnesota) its mostly Somalian drivers from the twin cities that pull big blue and yeah, they drive like absolute shit and im not sure some of them even have a CDL. They all have their "own" authority but they all run for the same "dispatch" company. Just more of the Minnesota bullshit we have to deal with out here on the road.

[-]

Significant_Ad5335@reddit

A prime example of how you know the DOT English language professiency And ice intradictions are all theatrics and a way to cause further division.

[-]

NostradamusJones@reddit

Seen too many of those on their side. SuperEgo also seems to be a common offender.

[-]

Fuzzy1598@reddit

I don't know why but to me it seems superego has calmed down a bit.

Dangerous-Moods@reddit

I don’t either. They always seem to be in a hurry and not very observant of their surroundings

[-]

ajf31185@reddit

They are governed at 65(at least the AFP's are), so they cant be in too much of a hurry. 😂

[-]

ajf31185@reddit

The governed at 65. 😂

Like I know for a fact dispatch is not that strict for you to be rushing around like that

Like I know for a fact dispatch is not that strict for you to be rushing around like that

lol wait do you also haul these?

[-]

Dangerous-Moods@reddit

Yea true. I’ve had pushy dispatch before. I just go the speed limit. When I was newer I let them push me, but then realized that they don’t care about me or my driving record, nor do they appreciate my effort to meet their schedules.

[-]

DriveAppropriate2858@reddit

I drive a ranker hauling fuel and I had an Amazon driver brake check me with no traffic in sight. I don't trust them too.

[-]

Gandlerian@reddit

It's kind of crazy how much they regulate local Amazon delivery vans for DPS drivers and contractors. But, the actual CDL trucks can basically do whatever they want.

[-]

Fair-Advantage9539@reddit

lol i swear i was on I-10 east bound maybe it was i-75 south this Amazon Prime truck was driving as slow as pond water one night. I pass him I look over and its this guy he has a phone mounted up on the pillar it looks like he was streaming, Had a laptop wide open not sure if it was mounted, i think I might have seen a tablet in there and was also on his phone looking down. His cab was lit up from LED's. I should have blown my air horn at him but I kept it moving.

While I was driving my car last week one of these guys cut me off without even using his blinker. He put his wheels on the line twice then just came over. I thought he was just weaving. He needed to turn left up ahead. If he had just put his blinker on I would have let him in.

[-]

ramses3rd@reddit

I drive for an "Amazon Freight Partner" and let me tell you, I dont trust anyone that hauls Amazon trailers. In my company alone, probably 2/3rds of our drivers shouldn't have licenses. No one does pre-trips. I have to refuse nearly half of all trailers im suppose to pull because they are so badly damaged. My company has asked me and other drivers numerous times to forge our log books or operate out of service equipment. All of our support staff is located in Pakistan so they dont care about US law because they know they aren't going to face any repercussions for their actions. The whole system is fucked. I would leave but Im set up pretty well due to somewhat blackmailing my company with a lot of damping evidence. Don't trust these trailers and certainly dont trust the drivers.
