As long as you can prove you're on the clock, your employer is liable, especially if it's delivery poo poo.

What's gonna be hosed up is when walmart expects its employees to clock out before leaving for a delivery. Gonna be another decade long class-action lawsuit about that alone. Probably because it will be policy that managers clock employees out as soon as they leave the store.

I loving hate walmart, and all of Arkansas that birthed it and the Waltons. Let's just soak the entirety of Arkansas in gasoline and let a match sort it out.

AI is moving along fast enough that I'd agree with 5-10 years. At least in terms of interstates and large highways. Cities are probably going to depend on when they decide to spend money to make all the safe space poo poo work, but the worst part about driving will generally be covered.

And truck drivers only make what the road allows. Most start with companies paying $0.30-0.40/mile. Get hung in traffic for a day and burn all your hours trying to crawl a hundred miles, and you ain't making dick for the day, let alone averaging minimum wage. For some OTR, minimum wage might be a pay increase. Also gently caress 70-80 hour work weeks, because if you're not working that many hours, you are paying no bills.

I'm not saying that's a common thing, and most will drive in the off-peak hours if they can, but there are just places that are an eternal hell. Boston comes to mind, any old city with narrow rear end streets.

OTR guys that don't see the inside of cities aren't all that common. At some point there's going to be a poo poo day, or a never ending string of them, where every pick up or drop is going to be in a poo poo spot or where the dock leaves your truck in the road or you're stuck in a queue for six hours.

And there's plenty of days where they run 70mph across flat nothing land. But there's still days you get hosed. Especially if you're lumping unpaid. Trucking companies can suck my dick from the back of a 53 foot trailer.

They need to send astronauts to Memphis to practice driving on the surface of the moon. This city destroyed the suspension on two of my cars in under a year. Instead of fixing pot holes the city just throws giant 2inch thick metal plates over them. Because hitting one of those fuckers at 50mph doesn't have any negative repercussions

I don't want president pence more than anyone else does, but I'm pretty sure the Rs aren't going to do anything to Donnie unless he turns off the nationalism and starts agreeing with anything a democrat says.

He's a loving idiot, but I'd rather the idiot hold the wheel while Congress stays locked up than hand the keys to that cornfed Indiana asspile of a human being.

Trump is the stopped clock, but instead of twice a day, it's one of those army clocks with a 24 hour face. Pence would just waste time trying to drag us back to bible land, and he's much better at hiding poo poo from the limelight than Donnie Dumbass.

I don't get the south. I was in Huntsville this week and a dude in a coal rolling pickup was sporting Confederate plates. But if it weren't for NASA egg heads from Stanford and MIT (and frankly, a bunch of Nazi rocket scientists), Huntsville would still be a depressed loving poo poo hole like 95% of Alabama.

Coal rolling dipshits are everywhere. I see a couple a day. Occasionally I toy with the idea of saving them some time burning all that diesel and just jabbing a knife in the fuel tank, but you never gently caress with another person's ride.

I do flick a lot of cigarettes at them though. That's indirect fuckery, heavy reliant on wind and timing. I've yet to nail one in the face through an open window.

Re: coal rollers

They're all over Colorado. I'm dumb and live surrounded by mil-folk.

There's no point in calling the cops about it either, the local department is understaffed and paid less than the Denver or even county cops. They don't care. If they see someone do it, maybe they'll give out a ticket, but no one is getting a ticket from a call in for rolling coal.

It's so goddamn dumb of a trend, but it's not over until I see someone do it with a slammed, off-camber volkswagen.

Eh, the people still doing that are the kind of people who would tear an engine down once a year to "check on things" or whatever. They're forever stuck in a hobbyist venture that no reasonably paid mechanic would want to gently caress with. Like those guys that run propane on old jeeps.

Rolling coal is so much easier for idiots. The skill level required is low and the payoff for local mechanics is high. I love the idea of some moron loving up a diesel and trying to fix it in his garage like it's an old chevy 350.
