So the truth. Staying clean to pass the test and 3 months later when company pops a test . Bye,bye cdl !

The point is not to pass the test. The point is to live a lifestyle that the test isn't even a concern.

May sound hypocritical coming from a musician who lived the opposite lifestyle, but by the time I started my trucking career, I hadn't had any substances in my body for years.

Now, I understand that life throws us curve balls, the thought process needs to change though. Rather that trying to game the system, it's about changing your life.

Good luck !

There are times I prefer to park on the on ramp. Especially if it's later in the evening when the vultures are circling the truck stops.

Guess I don't qualify as a professional driver then.

Sometimes I have to run my truck when I use my microwave/air fryer. Building up pressure and releasing didn't cause moisture problems in your truck?

I had one, it worked freaking amazing on my first truck.

Second truck? Exact same setup, exact same inverter, literally the same appliance grade extension cord. I can't even get my 900w microwave to run 5 minutes on 30 percent power, so I have thrown pretty much everything off the truck. So frustrated right now.

Does it actually build pressure like a pressure cooker. Can you boil eggs in it?

I have a multi cooker, which is like an instant pot, just a different brand. I use it to cook rice and stews. I have also cooked pasta in it. I use the sauté function to brown meat for the stew, and have also used it for sloppy joe. It’s a nice appliance to have on a truck.

Okay so I totally enjoyed NaeNae's statement! She told it exactly right. !!!Now I will laugh under my breath at a guy with a messy bun! Looks stupid!

I talk like this in real life too!

Honestly there are a few topics that strike a nerve, big time, and this is one of them. I reigned it in from what I REALLY wanted to say.

NaeNae, we can always count on you to tell it like it is.

Many times In colorful language. Lol

Driver pulse

Does anyone use an instant pot on their truck? If so how is that working out?

Just started the first week of training and everything is going great. The instructor is great. Small class so we are getting a lot of individual help. Started coupling and uncoupling the truck today with trailer inspection. Next week pre-trip and backing. It was great to finally see all the things that we studied about for the CLP. Went over how to do driving logs and hours of service. Going to do a lot of JJ Keller trainings this weekend. I will try to send updates on how things are going. Thanks for all the informative topics and training features on this website. Check back with you later.

I don't remember. There's a water park underneath it though. It's kind of a big deal when they landed those 747s at the tiny airport across the highway.

I guess you're already on your way for another load by now. Maybe take some of the heat with you please. I did my 12.5 hours and now my weekend starts. Ahh, the local life.

That was awesome not part of a plane the whole dang thing on top of a building. I wonder how that small building handles that weight. I'm still here In Portland head out in the morning for Arizona.
