10-4 The Truck Stops Here

[jelli]

Any truckers out there? Share your stories from the road. Tips on eating healthier and less expensive on the wallet. Safety issues. Pet peeves.

[Heavenleahangel]

As femme as I am, I used to be an OTR truck driver. I was trained by C R England which was a joke, then went with Werner to get my feet wet, then my own truck. It was quite the experience and people who know me now cant believe I did it! I still have my class A CDL.

[jelli]

There's definitely good money to be made out there.

I have worked for a truck driving company in the past and it was my all time favorite job. I have truckers in my family and most importantly my Cruel is a trucker.

Needless to say, I have a lot of respect for truckers and the families waiting at home for them to return.

[jelli]

Getting ready to go out on the road with Cruel! :hangloose:

I am excited to take of and spend some time with Cruel. I am a bit nervous about eating healthy, but will do my best. I imagine it to be somewhat like camping except you can't just get out of the tent all the time.

[TIMBERWOLF]

I worked and team drove for PANTHERII out of Ohio. There isn't a reason to not eat healthy out on the road or just when your at home. We were lucky to have a "Baby Truck" Freight liner with a Box and a Large Refrigerator and a large pantry. We also had a Microwave. I loved driving and expediting but I had to go back on Insulin. They don't like for you to drive while on insulin even though i have never had a hyperglycemia episode .
So go out and enjoy seeing the country with wild open eyes and aww's , cause I never got use to seeing the same ole stuff. It was always an adventure to me.
Alright driver, keep it up and shiney,
TIMBER

[jelli]

Cruel loves her job.

The only real downside is the healthy eating while still maintaining a budget. Her company doesn't allow inverters. So therefore things such as a microwave aren't permitted either.

She does have cooler that runs off her 12v. and quick pot for heating hot water. She used to have a coffee pot, but it kept blowing a fuse.

[TIMBERWOLF]

Have you seen those little crock pots that look like a black lunch box? Plug that into the cig lighter and cook a meal like a slow cooker. Its easy to put together a meal for 2 while your driving down the road.

i been driving for almost 7 yrs now.... and sometimes it is hard to eat healthy out here.
i sometimes stop at wally world ... for eats.. fruits and such.
but lately i been going to regular supermarkets.... and try to search out ..
whole food or fresh market , stores..... i also get a lot of Rotisserie chickens. which are way better then fried any day :)
been trying to stick to a low carb diet which can be hard to do at times.
soo been doing the chicken with a avacado / grapes , latley been geting fresh cherries
are you on facebook??? come join a page there for truckers .... called
Road Talk ... the page is ran by a soft butch name .. Blair.. the page is for anyone gay or str8 .. and she is very informative on road conditions , weather , pics , accidents..
maybe we will even cross paths someday .. never know... i get to NC now and then. :)

[morningstar55]

the bottom line is ..........
you can eat healthy on the road....... its all about choices you make on what to eat.
sometimes it is hard .. when DQ is calling your name as you drive by.. lol

[jelli]

Cruel and I have talked about the crock pot/lunch box. Do you have one? How's the clean up factor?

I will have to check out the FB page.

Truck stops, phew. Those can be an experience. lol

[Spikester]

I been driving truck for over 14yrs now, even work as a yard dog which I love doing. Do miss that job. But what im on now is the rail which is cool I run the southeast and home ever other night and weekends and be getting on the list to work local here in a few months which will give me more of a life.

anyways.... im hangin in Lafyette In at the moment .. have a load to pick up tomorrow and head to toronto On area.. by monday.

[jelli]

Cruel and I have been on the road since Sunday. Have been Charlotte, Raleigh, Augusta, Charlotte, then onto Maine. I have been enjoying the states WV, VA, Maryland, Penn, Conn, NH, NY, NJ, and of course Maine.

We ran into a guy from Cruel's main OC when we stopped for showers. Then ran into again Jay, Maine. Made me smile.

A lot of friendly folks out here. Some people can be so rude to the truckers by their lack of road courtesy. Many of the truck stops are decent to good. Some real shady. I enjoy listening to the CB some times and at other times truckers are talking just to hear themselves talk.

Think we are picking up a trailee in Sidney and heading towards Boston.

Be safe all.

[jelli]

Long Island? Surely they mean ice tea.

[jelli]

yes I do ..... i cook in it all the time.......
in fact i have a 5 step video of me cooking a dinner in one on FB .. lol
i line it with foil.. and insert one of them foil loaf pans... i love mine.

the truck stops oh yeah.. lol ....... petro now has a decent salad bar.. but like everything some locations are better then others.

I was told that if you have an inverter, you can go to WalMart for a small 1 quart slow cooker and the plastic liners.... they have the cookers for approx. $10 and if you use a liner, then a couple of rubber bands and toss it in the cooler/refrig.

Petro has an open salad bar versus pre-made salads? i don't know how well that would work wither since cruel never stops at Petro. Schneider only contracts with certain fuel stops.

[jelli]

Well, we made it back from Maine and all points in between! What a great trip! I noticed a lot of things that I didn't realize before.

Many of the night or wknd support for drivers can be harsh. Seems like they don't really give as quality of service as your regular DBL/dispatcher.

Food choices really can be difficult especially when you are the type of driver that doesn't stop often.

Truck stops can have good food, but expensive. Truck stops can have really bad food, still expensive.

Noticed a lot of guys with regular coolers strapped into their passenger seat. When they need to drain it they just open up the door, slide cooler over a bit, and wah-la. Looked into a few regular size coolers. Most were inexpensive and state keeps things cold between 3-5 days. The one Cruel will try is 48qts and will keep cool for 3 days. Hoping we can at least pack healthy for a couple days and then in meantime if there's something healthy can grab and toss in the cooler.

Anyone get the munchies when driving?

A few other things I noticed - drivers are not given a lot of respect, CB's can come in way handy or ridiculous entertainment, never knew how many parking lots smelled like urine, etc.

petro salad bar... they do have a good one..... some locations like anything else is better then others..
sometimes i get a salad from wendys or mc donalds. think they make the best salads for a fast food place.
i made my own tuna in truck.. i dont trust things made with mayo made in other places, not sure how long its been sitting or what temps.
in a couple weeks....... i am taking on a team driver... someone i have known for yrs.. and trust , she has been wanting to do what im doing sooooo im going to be training hr, and team for a spell. we are already talking about how to work together about eating healthy and going for walks together. :)

Tell me again do you drive a regular van truck(like the size of Schneider)? Wouldn't watermelon be messy? what if you have to shift suddenly. I guess maybe that would depend on where you're driving too.

Great job on better choices in eating.

[jelli]

Does anyone exercise in their truck? Cruel has those rubber band things and can use dumb

Just being the passenger though, I have to say, after an 11 drive day, 14hr work day, you are often time really ready to do nothing. Oh wait, Can't do that though. You need to trip plan, laundry, shower, try and make sure you have some healthier foods on hand, etc.

Living the Life of a Trucker's Wife

When you are a trucker's wife
You lead a very different life
From that of other women you know
Your husband comes and then he goes

While some might shake their heads and say
To live like that, no way, no way!
A trucker's wife is one who knows
Living this life is the best way to go

We all get lonely sometimes, no doubt
Sometimes we cry, sometimes we shout
Things do get rough when we're on our own
But all we must do is pick up the phone

Our hubbies are there at the end of the line
Telling us things will be just fine
So we calm down and say "okay"
What did it matter anyway?

Sometimes we're sad to see them leave
A sigh of sadness we do heave
But then there's times when we have a smile
Peace and quiet, if just for awhile

Some of us value the time on our own
We actually enjoy being alone
The house is quiet, the house is tidy
We can spend the day in our jammies or nighty.

No one is here to judge what we do
To our own desires we can be true
Cereals for dinner, sure that's fine
No need for us to have candles and wine

Cleaning the tub, shaving our legs
Surely those things are things that can wait
Hubby is gone and we're making the most
Of living our lives while he drives coast to coast

We cook and clean whenever we please
When you're on your own, life is a breeze
The t.v. is ours to control as we wish
Maybe I'm glad that we got the Dish

A week or two of freedom is fine
Longer than that and we start to whine
Before we know it, he's headed home
Now it is ending, our time alone

But do we mind when it comes to an end?
Not when we get to see our best friend
Our lover, our hero, the light of our life
Will soon be pulling his rig in the drive

We get off the couch and put the bonbons away
Why didn't w e start cleaning yesterday?
Oh well, truly, not to worry
I've learned how to speed clean in quite a hurry

Of both worlds we have the best
We know that we've been truly blessed
It's just another day in the life
Of a woman who's known as a trucker's wife.

We are on FB. I did check out the 'Road Talk' it wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but I did find a few sites. Road Talk has a lot of status' and stuff that aren't truck/er related.

Hope you are having a good week. Where are you at today?

[blue-eyed blonde]

I always wanted to be a truck driver when I was little (well, that or a game show host). Right now I drive a fire truck...not quite what this thread is related to, but still truck-related, right? ;-)

[BrutalDaddy]

I know this is an old thread that's been dead for while but the profession of truck driving is new to me so I was super excited to find this thread.

Hopefully any others out there who drive will start posting again. Look forward to hearing from others if y'all are still out there!!

I just gotta say that the rand mcnally road atlas for truckers freaking ROCKS!!!!!! So much more detailed than the regular atlas.

Loving it totally!

Hey AJ. I have been a truck driver for almost 3 years now. If there are any questions you have, feel free to email me!
Welcome to the truck driving family.

[Dominique]

This thread caught my eye. I'm a toss back trucker. I maintain a commercial drivers license with a variety of endorsements. Class B, airbrake, Passenger endorsement, Haz Mat, Motorcycle.

I drove for many years with one of the most recognizable names in package delivery. LOCAL. The job was fun, but physically very hard. For years (and from time to time, even still) I've considered becoming an owner operator and finding a driving partner and doing freight expediting.
I'm constantly looking at Rigs as I have an idea what kind of truck I will need to do this in. Finding the driving partner is the hardest part. Freight expediting requires 24 hour driving and the rig I want has a small travel trailer as a sleeper.

I'm educated in other areas, but there is something about driving a rig that I totally am drawn to. The bigger the rig, the tougher the challenge, the more I am drawn to this occupation.

I'll keep looking. I feel when the time is right, it will find me.

[BrutalDaddy]

Thanks Kerri! I very much look forward to driving across the country considering I've never ventured past the states surrounding Alabama. Lol.

Dominique, I hear ya. I honestly started this as a well to pay bills but in the course of training for this I have fallen head over heels in love with it. Femmsational wants to do this as well so eventually we're going to team drive but she wants me to get a few months under my belt then she'll come along. Hope you find the right partner and are able to live that dream of your's. :goodluck:

Love that there are truckers on this site and so looking forward to hearing from even more!

Okay spent almost 20 minutes trying to find a trucker icon. We need one! Lol.

Ready To Hit The Road,
AJ.

[morningstar55]

heyyyy where are all the fellow drivers at????????
bumping this up .... zooom zooooom ...

Congrats and good luck with passing the test. Im sure u will do well

Hey everybody. I have a questions about truckstops, so I thought what better place to go to ask, than here. :)

I'm wondering about sleeping at truck stops. I know you can't park overnight at rest areas. But if you have an RV and park where the cars park, can you park overnight at truckstops? I know the sleepers do it, just didn't know if they let regular cars do it.

Thanks for any input.

Its according to how big ur RV is.. Your best bet is to park in the lot with the rigs. I would suggest if u have a slide u park on the end of a row, also make sure that the trucks can get by

As far as parking overnite in rest areas that is a state by state thing also again u need to park where the trucks are.

[BrutalDaddy]

Pajama,

Teddy hit the nail on the head before I had a chance to answer. Lol.

I drive a big rig and with summer on us full force, I've seen more and more RVs parking where the big trucks park in truck stops. So don't think it'd be a problem at all to do so. Like he said, just make sure you're not gonna block any trucks and you should be good to go!

Oh and if any truckers give you nasty looks or grumbling, just ignore them. Tends to be a lot of 'ornery truckers who get crankier with age, so I've learned. Lol. If it's not an RV they're griping about, it's another trucker.

Also in the truck stops, I think I've seen maps and guide books for RVs. They've got em for big trucks but I'm pretty sure I've seen RV ones too but don't quote me on that.

Rolling Rolling Rolling Raw Hiiiiide,

[SmoothButch]

Sup everyone...

I forgot to post here that I passed my state test on the first try!

Been rolling with the big dogs ever since and getting better every day.

[pajama]

Hey thanks everyone for the input. I apologize, I wasn't clear in my original post. I have a regular truck with a cab and bed in the back. So I would be too small to park with the big trucks. But was wondering if the rules are the same if you're a regular car about parking overnight.

Thanks. :)

morning truckers/drivers
Pajama ...... can you post a pic of your truck??
here's a pic of what i been driving for the past 7 yrs .. lol ...... it is smaller then the Tractor trailers... and i don't have a trailer.... some truck stops will let my size truck park up front some won't and kick us to the back.
I have to give this job up soon ... due to my health , in fact I might be giving it up sooner then i want too. :( it all depends on this infection its about all gone.. july 30th is my last day for the antibiotic infusions and then will see. crossing my fingers. the money is to good and id like to squeeze in at least 1 more year.
has a fridge/microwave full size bed and lots of storage. :)
98% NO touch freight.
the money is good, but the down side is im hardly ever home and miss a lot of family /friend events and other things.
if i could find me a office job in shipping n receiving somewhere that would be awesome. :)

Ok maybe I misunderstood. R u pilling a camper or some other type of wagon?? If so u can park with the big trucks. I have seen all kind of trucks and cars parked with us. Park then go inside and ask. It's easier to get permission after ur parked then before
