Personally, as someone who has no experience in business, a winning company is one that doesn’t focus on the experience of the individual, but their ability to learn and grow. Companies that want experience first want people who will more than likely work alone, and end up not liking their job.
 
From my experience, every job is different. Experience only mattershows when it’s the same company or the same job. If I’m gonna hire a cashier, I want someone who can keep a conversation and has great social ability. The interview shouldn’t be questions, but relations. I don’t care if you’ve handled money before. You’ll be trained.

Literally every job except for sales wants you to have a ridiculous amount of experience. Entry level jobs want 2 years. Its systemic bullshit. Sales jobs don’t give a shit because you’re an independent contractor who is 100% disposable and who they don’t actually have to pay because your salary is pure 1099 self-employment commission based.

Find a company that would train you to drive and help you obtain your CDL while working for them. A good portion of trucking agencies want someone who has at least 1-10 years OTR experience and won’t bother hiring you otherwise.

Having been out on the road with a friend who’s a former truck driver myself, yeah, the job is fun, but can be pretty lonesome at the same time. Like its been said, it’s not for everyone.
 
@Badumsquish
 
That’s why I like seeing truckers use GoPro’s and other video recording devices to capture footage of others intentionally causing the accidents. What these idiots don’t realize is that the trailer could be full X items and materials and that if they get shifted around too much, they could break. Worse case scenario, a huge roll of coiled steel bursting through the door and rolling into someones vehicle. Sure as hell wouldn’t want to dick around with military shipment convoy’s though.

You gotta find really good companies, if you ask me. Personally, out of the 2 formal jobs I’ve had, Home Depot has such a nice work environment that I couldn’t imagine going to another company, even for more pay.
 
Diamond Foods, on the other hand, has an extremely tight and very sad work environment. It’s slow, and nothing is fun. When I left there, I was willing to work at any other company for less pay, and I was being paid minimum wage.
 
Trucking sounds like it would be cool, and I think it offers a lot of freedom, but I don’t know if I could do it. Office jobs CAN be good, but you have to find a fun office for the work to be done efficiently. If you enjoy doing the work, and enjoy the people you work with, you’ll get so much work done it doesn’t compare.

I’ve always considered a truck driver position as my back-up plan in case I rather suddenly found myself needing to have gainful employment and no longer had time to try and continue job hunting for an office/accounting job, because the two jobs I always see taking up at least 6 out of my 10 Monster job openings are drivers and sales, and I would absolutely rather be on the roads helping to keep the literal wheels of the economy going than have to sell my soul to browbeat people into purchasing insurance on commission.
 
I also make a point of not passing trucks unless there is a LOT of open space in front of them, and keep following at regular driving distance when going onto an offramp in case they also want to take that exit, rather than just shooting up alongside them.

Hopefully that other trucker was sued and imprisoned. The last I knew and Squish could confirm is that any time a truck driver causes an accident or death, they are fined X amount of money and X amount of time in jail. Not sure if this has changed though.

That’s just a whole bunch of bad decisions added up. That truck is clearly not designed to carry a sea can, which weighs over 5000lbs empty, he’s driving way too fast (He’s clearly trying to stop or at least slow down, but can’t), and it looks like he might have clipped that bridge too (which probably started him tipping).
 
@AlushyTheTyrant  
Yeah. There’s not even a sign warning of the height of that overpass (which is pretty damned low too).

Though this happening in Taiwan, it’s not too likely that they adhere to many road regulations, and a turn that big would be fatal to anyone not having a sense of care to keep slow and tight to the inner lines of the turn.

I know all too well about CH9 and CH19. My old Midland radios always had a warning to never talk on CH9 unless there was an emergency and it’s just known that CH19 is for general communication. I would usually be on the higher end of the spectrum though, between 30 and 40. Too bad my old handheld Midland died on me though, usefully doubled as a weather radio and had 3 means of power supply (8 batt rechargable w/ charger, 6 batt alkaline, & car connector w/ ext. ant. connection.) But agreed though, I just be myself whenever talking. No need to make yourself look like an idiot and know-it-all when you guys are the true pro’s of the road. Though now begs the question, what’s your handle?

Ham radio is like that, but with more channels and repeaters to help boost range. You can sometimes get people in other countries on some ham bands if atmospheric conditions are right.

If you’re just looking to mess around, you really only need the most basic 27 MHz radio you can get. You hear weird shit but like any group of people the folks you meet on the horn will be pretty welcoming unless you make a fool of yourself by being a poser (pretending to be a trucker, trying to talk the talk, using a handle or most slang from Convoy, that sort of stuff).
 
There’s two channels you need to know of. Channel 19 is where you’ll get all the info, so tune in if you have literally anything to ask road-related and you’ll quickly get a good answer. It’s also a good place to make buddies if you have some good info to share. Everyone listening will love you if you come on there and say “Roadblock / speedtrap / bridge out / detour at wherever”. Channel 9 is for emergencies so stay the hell off of it since using it is equivalent to 911: it’s monitored by police and emergency services so only use it if you’re in a crash or something life-threatening (It’s actually an FCC violation to wrongly use this channel). Granted too this is all in the US so it might be different in other countries :P
 
Other than that, all you really need to know is some really basic terminology and etiquette (which you’ll pick up in no time) and a really basic understanding of how to adjust gain and such (so people can understand you). Honestly I think everyone should have a CB in their vehicle since they’re so simple and reliable. There’s no middle-man, right? One radio broadcasts and another picks it up. No networks or satellites or towers to go down, y’know?

Looks sweet. Says it’s a 50MHz transceiver though, and tech licenses only let you talk on 144MHz and 400 MHz bands. I’d need a general license for that radio.
 
My first and only radio was a car-mounted setup that was a dual-band radio that worked in the proper bands (2m and 70cm).
 
I don’t know where most hams hang out, but I would say they mostly talk through repeaters, so if you check the most common frequencies for repeaters, you can get a radio to listen to those repeaters and hear hams talk.

I haven’t ever really messed with CB’s other than chatting through them, though if I were to get a ham radio just to listen to conversations, I’d save the money and get the ICOM IC-7300  
full
 
@Badumsquish
 
I figured as much since CB bands are pretty much free to use by everyone now, though you do hear some pretty strange conversations come through on some unused channels… || like years ago, I was walking into Walmart to get some stuff, as soon as I get back out to my car, there’s 2 people talking over the radio trying to get each other off. I lol’d.||

FCC only cares if you are on the wrong band or purposefully interfering with someone else’s signal, which is what you are referring to.
 
CB is fine, but you get much more bandwidth freedom with an amateur radio license. You even get your own cool callsign and can do some good. For instance, I’m registered with the FCC under the callsign K4NTT as a tech-level amateur radio operator. I gotta renew my license before 2019, and I really should hop back on the air and do some ragchewing with the local hams because it can be fun. I just need to get me a radio one day.
