I can only imagine this being better for everyone. Regular customers don't lose tables to a sudden rush and truckers who are in a hurry don't have to wait.

Why? I drove OTR in my 20's. Absolutely loved it. You're not gonna get rich doing it, but you'll make a decent-to-good living and don't have to deal with cunty co-workers or mouth-breathing general public customers. If you have introvert tendencies and are in an otherwise shitty job, consider driving. Drivers are in huge demand these days, so after you do 6-8 months at Swift or Roehl, you can go anywhere. Good Fed Ex drivers can make 100K if they can do tandem/triple. Sure as fuck beats McPerro's.

Hey, how do I get into a job driving for FedEx or UPS?

contrary to popular belief, truckers are huge pussies. sit wherever you like, and if they try to stop you remember that their hearts are about to give out from eating nothing but fast food and sitting down all day. you can easily beat them in a fight

>>10607965
dunno about ups, but i believe they're mostly unionized so you'd have to do it through the teamsters or some shit. good luck with that though since i think the driving jobs are fairly hard to get
fedex drivers are almost entirely contracted or subcontracted out, so you'd either rent your shit from fedex or get hired through a smaller company. if you're talking about the actual trucks and not delivery i have no idea how either works, sorry

>>10610509

I work with a lot of truckers in my industry (live music) and they’re good people. Tour truck drivers are probably different from regular freight drivers though.

muh boomers.

>>10607965

>>10610601
are you a boomer?

>>10610617

According to 4chan yes I am a boomer.

According to my age, no.

Friendly reminder to all you truckers out there, put BAC limit is .02 even in your POV.

I am grounded at the moment. Forced vacation. But I miss the road and 300 a day. All because I decided to drive from one beach to another on my day off. I wasn't drunk by any means but did I think I was gonna blow under .02? Well that is up for my lawyer and the state to resolve.

Just a reminder truckbros. It's not worth it even in your POV

>>10610509

You do know if you had even 1 drink 4 hours prior your going to blow a .00whatever right?
Your a fucking idiot!

>>10607034
computers are probably better drivers than humans, and if they aren't yet then they inevitably will be.

>>10610681
Well yea I can safely say I am an idiot. I paid my lawyer a small fortune he is pretty sure I can escape this. But yea it's really easy to get sucked back into the normie idea of too much to drink in your POV on time off, when according to the law you have different standards.

>>10610653
I've always entertained a scenario where I give up on life entirely and become a trucker, if you don't mind me asking how do you keep yourself entertained when you're pulling an 18 hour shift cross country?

>>10610695
yeah I've heard that many times and I just don't believe it, I don't think an AI no matter how advanced can predict and avoid human error. Especially in bigger cities, I just don't see how it could be done.

>>10610695

Computers can't handle random stuff like animals, floods, lava, toys, blocked roads

>>10610734
That's exactly the point. They're going to use the technology to push towards humans no longer being allowed to drive. You will go where advertisers have paid to make your Google brand car drive you to dinner.

>>10610734
Humans aren't very good drivers though, and we fail to predict things all the time. To drive perfectly is a lot harder than just driving better than a human.

>>10610745
Yes they can.

What is with this stupid faggotry?
I keep seeing people referring to anyone they don't like as a "boomer"
Do you think it means "fat?"
How fucking retarded can you be?

>>10610721
You drive 11 hrs a day with a 30 min lunch break on long hauls. Delivering or picking up you get 3 more hours of doing nothing. So, technically, 14 hrs is the max.

Listen to the radio (xm helps), listen to podcasts, sing along to songs, ect. helps on the drive. 5 hour energy and chain smoking helps at 4 am. I have a switch that I play when I'm getting loaded or unloaded. And of course shitposting on 4chan.

I make 70k a year doing it. Hopefully safety releases me to drive again soon. I already retained my license through a hearing.

>>10610734
> I don't think an AI no matter how advanced can predict and avoid human error.

Then your opinion is frankly useless in this conversation and you have no idea where AI tech is.

Human truck drivers won't exist in ten years and people can't come to grips with it

>>10610764
you call someone "fat" just because you don't like them?

>>10606841
>go to restaurant
>there's a "singles only" table

>>10610734
Which is evidence that you know little to nothing about AI, not that it isn't possible.

>>10610745
Yes they can.

>>10610745
Of course they can, especially when they're linked to and receiving data from every other truck and tons of cars.

t-truck boys ?

>>10610704
In my state truckers that blow anything above 0 get their license revoked and lose their whole livelyhood. Really helps to deter you degenerates from fucking up. Dumb ass uncle is the same way, he was texting while driving his rig even though if he got caught he would lose his job. Hazmat license and everything and he did it anyway like a fucking idiot, his excuse was he thought the cameras were off. Now hes on fucking welfare and food stamps and his wife has to go back to being a nursing manager at some shitty nursing home to support their child and keep the house and shes thinking about divorcing him.

What will computer operated trucks do about hitch hikers that put a tree log on the road?

Or 'introverts only' table.

>>10610777
The word "boomer" has a defined meaning, you can't just call anyone a "boomer" as an insult.
>you call someone "fat" just because you don't like them?
Not in so many words, but I don't like fat people, so also, yes.

>>10610792
What a cunt. Your aunt, that is

>>10610810
"fat" also has a defined meaning. disliking someone does not make them fat any more than it makes them a boomer

>>10610774
Terminal to terminal driving won't that is true.

I do reefer. It is one of the most heavy terminal to terminal driving. But sometimes I go pick up chicken in bumfuck arkansas down 20 miles of state road to a plant in some random valley. They are using seashell mix as their road top. But you think they will upgrade to robot shit in 5 years?

Yes robots will dominate certain parts of driving. But most professional drivers will continue working.

>>10610821
I don't think you can read.
I just wondered what the fuck you think "boomer" means, since you clearly don't know the actual meaning.

>>10610793

Then he got a trucking license at 35 and it was the only thing he was fucking good at his whole life and managed to fuck that up too. He is a depressed failure and he can no longer provide for the family, they have tried to get him help from a shrink but it didnt work. I think she should divorce him.

>>10608073
>their hearts are about to give out from eating nothing but fast food and sitting down all day
So it's like 4chan, always eating Taco Bell and sitting at the computer all day.

>>10610829
Then say that. There's a huge difference in admitting the idea is foreign than being dismissive of it.

Yes, it's an adjustment. But don't you like the possibility? Look at a movie like Minority Report. They get in and you're off to wherever you need to be. Isn't that the coolest shit? I mean, we aren't there yet but that's where we're headed.

>>that 25 year old boomer driving a truck
If you weren't this original poster then why did you get offended and upset at my first reply?

>>10610876
Your analogy makes no sense. Actually fucking think about what you are saying without worrying about who I am or whether I'm the same person who posted some other post. Let's go over this again, since clearly you are stupid.

You claim that using "boomer" as an insult for any random person just because you don't like them is inappropriate, since they may not in fact be a boomer. You also claim that this is in contrast with calling people "fat," despite the fact that someone isn't necessarily fat just because you dislike them.

What you said makes no sense, and you're a fucking moron.

>>10610872
let me put it like this. Even if the tech was claimed to be 100% accurate, I still wouldn't drive alongside an AI driver. Would it work 99.9% of the time? Probably. Am I going to let my car drive me to work and back in a city that has millions of people in it? Fuck no.

>>10610911
>You also claim that this is in contrast with calling people "fat,"
No, I didn't.
I asked, literally, "Do you think it means "fat?"
That is to ask, do you think "boomer" means "fat?" Merely wondering what stupid arbitrary meaning the poster I was talking to had assigned to the word. It seemed likely that he might have thought "boomer" meant a fat person.
Again, you can't read, and you should put away the keyboard.

>>10610950
Why would the other guys post make any sense if he thought "boomer" meant "fat"? It wouldn't, because once again, people don't become fat just because you dislike them.

Tough call. Welding is a very in-demand skill, especially if oil prices continue to climb. But then so is truck driving. Do you hate the people you work with? Do you like being alone? Do you want to see the country (sort of, anyway?) If so, consider truck driving. If not, maybe stay a welder.

Fedex Freight are all company drivers. Fedex Ground are almost all contractors with a very few company drivers.

Also, things have gotten so tight in the Trucking Industry that UPS are actually advertising for drivers. It used to be you needed to know someone, and then work your way up. Now, you will most likely start out as a fill in driver, but some locations will start you out full time. They do require previous experience though.

he's trying to make the meme about the pig farmer that fed the dead body to the pigs

it's pretty dumb to imagine that the absence of a body is what ends a murder investigation. being a suspect is not a good thing. the best strategy is for no murder investigation to ever be opened. you kill someone with your cage and say "oops! I was just checking my phone and he just came outta nowhere!" and they'll let you walk. I mean walk figuratively of course, cagers don't walk, at all. that's gommunism and also what if you get all sweaty.

That will happen to some of the country, sure. But certainly not all of it. There is a massive part of the country where it will probably never make economic sense to improve infastructure to that degree.

As for your farrier example: I was about to complain that it was a poor analogy, but it really isn't. Sure, you're right that the average person has no need for a farrier anymore. But plenty of people in rural areas ride horses. And there are plenty of other uses too: race horses. nearly all major cities have mounted police for crowd control. military units also use horses. There are equestrian sports as well.

I work at a Amazon warehouse and hate working dock. I don't do it often but they have dock crew doing like 5 or 6 different things at a time, and it's not even a good gig because we're only part time so we don't even get healthcare/benefits.
