This is for all of my follwers/mutuals who are Christians:

I want to preface this by saying that what I'm about to share with you is only to ask you for prayer. I don't want favors, and I'm not looking for a handout. We need God to open a door for us, and so I beg you, please pray for us.

We moved to Florida coming on three years ago. We came here primarily because we believed God was leading us here. In various ways, we believed God confirmed His will for us, and so I left a great job and we sold a great house to move here. We have been opposed in every way imaginable since.

Days after moving down, Lisa and I were in a terrible car accident that we only walked away from by God's grace. We were rear-ended by an Edible Arrangements delivery truck on the highway, and Lisa sustained significant injuries that are still causing us major problems. The franchise owner was operating their delivery vehicle without insurance, and I've learned since that they shut down their Edible Arrangements franchise and took off, leaving us holding the bag.

I've been in armed security since I got out of the Marines, and in New Hampshire, that was enough to take care of myself and my family. But it isn't in Florida. The pay for most armed security gigs here is super low, and I haven't been able to find work comparable to what I had in New Hampshire. So I tried to change courses.

I earned my personal trainer certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, but couldn't make it as a trainer. I made the attempt to go back to college and get a degree and certification as a paramedic, but after months of jumping through hoops, that fell through. I went back to New Hampshire by myself and spent six months away from my family to try to earn enough money working both my old job and a second job, but that plan didn't work because hours were limited with both gigs, and each job wanted me to work overlapping hours; I couldn't make the schedules line up.

My incredibly generous parents-in-law offered to pay our bills so that I could come back to Florida and try a new plan. I went to a CDL training course to get into trucking. After the very long and very expensive process, I finally got my CDL-A. While I was working on that, a random disagreement between my health insurance company and the medical supplier that issued me my cpap (I have sleep apnea) resulted in the supplier demanding that I give them the machine back. It took from middle February to early June for me to get another cpap. The end result is that, as of today, I have just under two months of cpap usage data. I discovered only after getting my CDL that no trucking company will hire me with less than 90 days of cpap usage data.

I've been pre-hired and subsequently turned away from three different trucking companies since I got my CDL over the cpap nonsense (one of which told me that what I had for cpap usage was fine, only to tell me on the first day of orientation that it actually wasn't fine, and they had to let me go). It's going to be another month before I can get started with any trucking company, and I'm concerned that I'll have to go to refresher training, which will only increase the months of time I'll have to spend as a trainee with whatever company hires me, which means it will be a long time before I make enough money to survive.

My in-laws can't continue paying our bills, and although I've had a half dozen low paying jobs in this time just to be bringing in something, now I'm struggling to get anything. I've applied to more jobs than I can remember, and I can't get any traction. Not even Domino's will call me back. Our backs are up against a wall.

My first payment for the money I borrowed to pay for CDL school was due almost a month ago, and I haven't been able to pay it (I had to get financing because my GI Bill expired and the VA ignored my request for an extension). Rent is almost 2k a month. We can't afford groceries (we've been living off of food pantries).

I don't know what to do. I've been crying out to God for an open door, but so far nothing has happened. My in-laws are just about tapped out, and in my mind, the only thing worse than wrecking my own family financially is dragging them down with me.

Please pray for us. Please pray for God to give us an open door, or some understanding of what to do next. I know God didn't bring us here to let us die. God is good, and God keeps His promises. God is perfect, and righteous, and just in all His ways. God has promised that He will turn about all things for the good of them that love Him. I know God has not abandoned us, and that when the time is right, God will make a way.

I say again, I am not looking for favors or begging for money. I know all of us are really going through it right now. All I want from you is prayer. Please pray intensely for us.

Thanks, I love you all.

Truck Driver Day

Professional truck drivers are honored and celebrated today with Truck Driver Day. In the United States, a driver is considered to be a truck driver when their vehicle has a gross vehicle weight—the weight of the vehicle loaded—of at least 26,000 pounds. They must obtain a commercial driver's license (CDL) to drive a vehicle of this weight. Employers often require their drivers to take a safety training program, and some also require a high school degree or GED.

Truck drivers carry all kinds of freight—livestock, food, canned goods, liquids, packages, and vehicles—all across the United States and the world. They often have to load and unload their freight and must inspect their trucks before taking to the road. Truck drivers often ship products to stores, and some may have to undertake sales duties. Many truck drivers work long hours. Some may have daily local routes that keep them close to home, while others may have routes and schedules that often change, and many have to be away from home for an extended amount of time.

Some trucks were on the road in the United States prior to World War I. Trucks continued to be used and developed during the war, and by 1920 there were more than a million trucks on the roads of America. Trucking continued to expand over the following decade, on account of advancements such as the introduction of the diesel engine, improved rural roads, the introduction of power brakes and steering, and the standardization of truck and trailer sizes. In the 1930s, a number of trucking regulations were implemented, and the American Trucking Association was created. Trucking activity increased in the 1950s and '60s, in large part because of the creation of the Interstate Highway System. Regulations on the weight of trucks continued to be updated.

The heyday of the truck driver came in the 1960s and '70s. At the time, a wide swath of the public viewed truck drivers as modern-day cowboys or outlaws. The rise of "trucker culture" was signaled with the proliferation of trucker songs and films, the wearing of plaid shirts and trucker hats by the public, and the wide use of CB radios and CB slang. The romanticization of trucker culture subsided by the dawn of the 1980s.

Many truckers went on strike during the energy crises of 1973 and 1979, after the cost of fuel rose. The Motor Carrier Act of 1980 partially deregulated the industry. As a result, many new trucking companies were started. Trucker union membership also drastically declined, leading to lower pay. But the deregulation did reduce consumer costs, and it increased production and competition in the trucking industry. By the twenty-first century, trucking dominated the freight industry. In 2006, there were 26 million trucks on America's roads, which hauled about 70 percent of the country's freight. Truckers continue to play a prominent role in keeping the wheels of the economy turning, and for the hard work they put in to make this happen, they are honored and celebrated today!

How to Observe Truck Driver Day

Some ideas of ways the day could be spent include:

If you are a truck driver, get out there and drive! Or, take the day off. It should be up to you!

Wave to truckers or make a gesture like you are pulling a truck horn in an attempt to get them to honk their horns.

Thank a truck driver. Tell them thanks in person or make a social media post of thanks. Include the hashtag #TruckDriverDay.

Become a truck driver.

Listen to some truck driving songs such as "Convoy" and "Truck Drivin' Man."

Watch some truck driving films such as Smokey and the Bandit, Convoy, and Big Rig.

Talk on a CB radio.

Eat at a truck stop.

Attend or take part in the National Truck Driving Championships, which are held around the time as Truck Driver Day.

Read a book about trucking or truckers such as Trucking Country: The road to America's Wal-Mart Economy or The Long Haul: A Trucker's Tales of Life on the Road.

Explore the websites of organizations and companies related to the industry such as American Trucker, Truckers News, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the American Trucking Associations, and the Women in Trucking Association.

I gotta tell myself alot ghat ain't your life anymore bitch that ain't your life anymore. I feel like bilbo baggins plucked from the shire sometimes. I live this life of decentness in my dirty house. Only clean room in the home is mine, I lay on my comfortable mattress reclining bed, I take my little medicines and oils and ice creams and treats before bed, I cuddle up in my robe and fall asleep on the couch during a movie with friends.

Now I don't do any of that. I don't actually have a home anymore. I'm actually homeless, the road is my home. This truck is my home. Now I'm just living to travel and traveling to live. I just finished my training and I'm ready to be sent out for real as soon as possible. Like bilbo I'm away from this life of luxury and onto a life of adventures, danger, darkness, loneliness. Like bilbo and his company I'm also on a quest for the arkenstone. It glimmers in the radiant light it's a vision of a calmer, quieter, more peaceful life. Away from all the orcs, goblins, dragons, abusers, greasy meatball looking fucks with their fire breathing evil. What will happen when I claim the stone for dwarvenkind? We will rebuild the kingdom under the mountain of course, and we'll both know peace for the rest of our days.

In terms of the hobbit I'm about at that part when they turn the trolls to stone and find the elven swords in their cave (my permanent cdl license that I'm gonna make big money with in the coming week).

[libertarian-druid-in-greater-vt]

Six days till I start CDL training, and it turns out the owner of the company I'm starting with suddenly picked up a lot of orders going to Texas, which they didn't go to at all previously.

This is looking favorable to me.

CDL Safety Management Plans

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires commercial motor carriers to have a safety management plan (SMP) in place as part of their compliance with regulation 385.17. It is a comprehensive document that outlines a company's policies and procedures for ensuring the safety of their operations. In this blog piece, we will discuss the key components of an SMP and why it is essential for FMCSA compliance.

One of the critical elements of an SMP is a driver qualification program. This program ensures that drivers are qualified and trained to operate commercial motor vehicles safely. It includes measures such as verifying a driver's experience, driving record, and medical qualifications before allowing them to drive. The program also includes regular driver training and re-evaluation to ensure that they remain qualified and up to date with any changes to regulations.

Another essential component of an SMP is a vehicle maintenance program. This program ensures that commercial motor vehicles are properly maintained and inspected to prevent breakdowns and accidents. It includes regular inspections, repairs, and maintenance procedures that are documented and readily accessible. It also includes procedures for identifying and addressing any safety-related issues that may arise.

It should also include a driver safety program, which outlines the company's policies and procedures for ensuring driver safety. This program includes measures such as monitoring driver behavior, addressing any safety-related concerns promptly, and providing driver training on safety-related topics.

In addition to these key components, an SMP should include a crisis management plan. This plan outlines the steps that a company will take in the event of an accident, emergency, or other crisis. It includes procedures for notifying authorities, securing the scene, aiding those involved, and addressing any media inquiries.

In summary, an SMP is a critical component of FMCSA compliance for commercial motor carriers. It includes driver qualification and safety programs, vehicle maintenance procedures, and a crisis management plan. By implementing a comprehensive SMP, companies can ensure the safety of their operations and avoid potential fines and penalties for non-compliance with regulation 385.17.

A Comprehensive Guide to Trucking Industry Regulations for Fleets and Truckers

Understanding these regulations is crucial for fleet managers and truckers alike, as compliance ensures safety and operational efficiency and helps avoid costly penalties. This guide outlines the key regulations affecting fleets and truckers, providing a roadmap to stay compliant and informed.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) serves as the primary regulatory body overseeing the trucking industry in the United States. Their regulations encompass various aspects of trucking operations, including driver qualification, hours of service (HOS), and drug and alcohol testing.

Truckers must possess a valid Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) appropriate for the type of vehicle they operate. It includes passing both written and practical driving tests. Additionally, drivers must undergo periodic medical examinations to ensure they meet the health standards required to operate commercial vehicles.

One of the most critical aspects of FMCSA regulations is the HOS regulations aimed at preventing driver fatigue. Truckers may drive a maximum of 11 hours after consecutive hours off duty, and they cannot exceed 14 hours on duty after coming on duty following a rest period. Furthermore, drivers take a 30-minute break after 8 hours of driving to remain alert and focused on the road. Compliance with these regulations is essential for maintaining safety on the highways.

In addition to HOS regulations, the FMCSA mandates that fleets implement a drug and alcohol testing program for their drivers. It includes pre-employment testing, random testing, and post-accident testing. Such measures are crucial for ensuring that impaired while operating heavy vehicles, enhancing road safety.

Maintaining vehicle safety and compliance is another essential aspect of trucking regulations. The FMCSA requires trucks to undergo regular inspections, including pre-trip inspections conducted by drivers before each trip and annual inspections performed by licensed inspectors. Fleets must maintain accurate records of all vehicle maintenance and repairs, as this documentation is critical for compliance and inspections.

Environmental regulations are also becoming increasingly important in the trucking industry. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets standards for emissions from heavy-duty trucks, and fleets must ensure these standards. Some states have additional emissions regulations that fleets must adhere to, making it essential for trucking companies to stay informed about local that may affect their operations.

It includes ensuring that hazardous materials are correctly classified, labeled, and packaged according to federal guidelines. Additionally, drivers transporting hazardous materials must complete specialized training and possess a Hazardous Materials Endorsement on their CDL. Fleets must ensure that their ELDs are registered and compliant with FMCSA specifications.

Insurance requirements are another vital aspect of trucking regulations. Trucking companies must maintain adequate insurance coverage as mandated by federal and state. The minimum liability insurance requirement varies based on the type of cargo transported. Also, fleets are to carry workers’ compensation insurance to cover employees in case of work-related injuries or illnesses.

Finally, maintaining proper documentation is essential for compliance. Fleets must maintain driver qualification files that include each driver’s employment history, training records, and medical certifications. Regular internal audits can help fleets ensure compliance with all regulations and identify areas for improvement.

In conclusion, understanding and complying with trucking industry regulations is essential for the success and safety of fleets and truckers.

Whether a fleet manager or an independent trucker, staying informed and proactive about regulations will ensure your business thrives in this dynamic environment.

So sick of hearing "Nobody wants to work anymore" (a rant)

TL;DR: Job hunting is a pain in the ass and I'm getting sick of it.

---

Actually piss off. I've been out of work for almost 3 months, and not for lack of trying. Why do these employers put up listings for jobs if they're never going to fucking hire anybody? I've put in dozens if not hundreds of job applications and I've had 3 interviews. One of which asked me "Can you be at orientation on Wednesday?" I said "Yes" and 3 hours later I got *this message.*

WHY DID YOU ASK ME IF I COULD GO TO ORIENTATION IF YOU WEREN'T GOING TO HIRE ME?

They couldn't even be bothered to tell me *why* I didn't meat hiring requirements. According to the listing, I had everything they wanted. Sufficient experience, clean driving record, and a valid license. But no.

After this, I put in for a job at a company that required zero experience, and within hours I got another rejection message.

This broke me. Like, I snapped here. I can't even get a job at a ZERO EXPERIENCE company. Like sure I applied to this place a year ago and turned them down because they didn't pay you while they trained you to get your license. I already have the license now, so I figured I'd give them another try. I guess the sentiment wasn't mutual.

I'm absolutely over this "you need experience to get experience" bullshit. I've been told countless times "once you have a CDL you can get a driving job anywhere" but clearly that's just not true. I even went out of my way to have the automatic-only restriction removed to open more doors, but nope, that was a waste of time, apparently.

I have more experience in the IT field than I do in the transportation industry, but nobody seems to care about that either.

Side note: Indeed.com needs to figure out that the "No Experience Required" filter doesn't mean "1 year of experience required", it doesn't mean "3 years of experience preferred", it means NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED.
