      @gingerdoe2882 4 місяці тому

      @TruckerChubs we use our impacts to tighten them but most people won't double check with a torque wrench because the hub spins so you have to put the tires on or hit the brakes and torque them so they just get lazy. You are right tho I would second guess that inner wheel seal cause if it leaks you can't see it from the outside you have to get under it and see if it's leaking on your brakes which will start a fire when your brakes get hot 🔥 but I hope they refilled your axle oil cause it looks like it leaked alot and if it's low you can destroy that axle good luck

    Former dump truck driver here (super 16). I'm starting with Swift week after next for orientation in Phoenix. I haven't driven a tractor/trailer since 2021 so I'm a little anxious about it because I can't back to save my life. Not sure what to expect. Any tips or thoughts about this situation? I got my CDL locally driving a daycab and 48' trailer. I never drove a tractor/trailer since I passed my CDL road test 😅😅. I sorta remember how to straight back and offset back but putting a trailer into a slot isn't something I've ever done. Am I screwed??

    Sounds to me like you screwed yourself in coming home for "personal reasons" after you had already gotten going. You don't really have much credibility at that point, ask yourself how many people do that for no good reason and should they continue to bend over backwards for you. I TOO work from the construction arena, and , lol, nobody would give you much credit for starting then stopping, then expecting to start again at YOUR convenience. Bummer situation, but you DID create part of the problem yourself man. Face the facts. In that situation I wouldn't go out of my way to hire someone like that eighter. Just saying. Good luck to you and hope you manage to string together a few weeks of starting with someone before you bail again.

      Appreciate that and completely agree. Do miss it honestly but it is what it is. Currently making more than what would have been my journeyman pay and life's been great lately. When personal reasons includes stage 4 cancer with a sibling a dying mother who passed medical bills and the whole lot well it ain't easy. Still on their part I get it completely. Just the situation at the time. Going to miss the equipment but the pay and what comes with what I do now is great. Only thing missing is that pension.
