Anybody here working in trucking/dispatch/freight brokering or something related?

Seems like there's no love for trucking on this board

Trucking has always gone to /o/ for whatever reason. Goes back to the Truckerfag threads well over 10 years ago, but even those threads are pretty rare nowadays.

They are terrible at estimating time it will take you to get somewhere.
I would try to tell them about road construction and traveling to miss rush hour in major cities,
They dont get it, To be fair its more complex than you might think with your hours of service

What about fuel costs? How steep is the difference between hauling a 5k lbs load vs 25k vs 45k actually?

If I am really light, I can get as much as 10 MPG
When heavy and in the mountains on I80 between denver and salt lake, its more like 5 to 6

True , but iff you are a truck driver , the most common rte between salt lake and denver is i80 to cheyenne then pop down to denver on i25

I made about 2k a week doing heavy haul but it was long hours and impossible to have any sort of life
You also become undatable

Drove my first electric long-haul truck last week (picrel). It was bizarre as all hell but I am pleasantly surprised by it nevertheless. I know people here though are autistic toward e-semis but don't knock it til you try it.

As far as I can tell, none of the basic maintenance I would need to do would change too much. Most of the 'mechanical' stuff is done by a electrician-mechanic anyway, which the company I drove it from had a crew of. They said it's like working on a computer, but bigger and has moving parts. So you're not wrong

We should just make all trucking non CDL/non dot. More jobs. Easier on the roads, less expensive roads.

Totally , the only way that type of local heavy haul I was doing really adds up is the overtime
30 bucks an hour first 8 hours of the day
45 from 8 to 12
Then 60 an hour after 12

>>2012565
after taxes I was taking home between 1800 on a slow week and 2400 on a crazy week

in america , we can drive 11 hours a day

with short haul heavy , you spend more time loading than driving
