Best midsized trucks ??

how can they rank the Jeep Gladiator as the best midsize truck, which is a joke?

That thing is a Wrangler with a bed, not a real truck. It’s got a weak engine, poor fuel economy, and a stiff ride. Plus, it’s way overpriced for what you get. I’d take a Ford Ranger or a Chevy Colorado over that any day.

They didn’t even mention the GMC Canyon, which is one of the best midsize trucks out there. It’s got a powerful V6 engine, a smooth transmission, and a comfortable interior. What do you guys think? Do you agree or disagree with this it?

It’s a Wrangler with a bed, which means it has the best of both worlds. It can do everything a truck can do, and more. It can tow up to 7,650 lbs, haul up to 1,700 lbs, and off-road like a beast.

Diesel trucks

Read this article on the best diesel trucks 2023 and I gotta say, it’s pretty interesting. Diesel trucks are still the way to go if you need to haul some serious loads. They have more torque, better fuel efficiency, and so on. For me, the best truck is the Ram 1500. It has a smooth ride, a luxurious cabin, and a powerful engine. It can tow up to 12,750 pounds, which is enough for most of my needs. Plus, it looks badass.

What do you guys think?

Weight and size limits for each state

I gotta say, it’s a pretty interesting read https://newjobs4you.com/blogs/trucking-law/overweight-permits-by-state/ . It covers a lot of things you need to know if you’re hauling some heavy stuff. But I also have a question that maybe you can help me with. How do you find out the weight and size limits for each state and local jurisdiction? Is there a website or an app that shows them?

Weight Limits

Can someone explain to me why they have these limits and how they are determined?

https://newjobs4you.com/blogs/trucking-law/weight-limits-for-trucks/

I mean, I get that they don’t want us to damage the roads or cause accidents, but some of these rules seem too complicated and unfair. Like, why do we have to follow the federal bridge formula and the state axle limits? Seems like they just want to make our lives harder. Anyone else feel the same way?

cargo theft prevention

https://newjobs4you.com/blogs/trucking-tips/tips-for-enhancing-security/

You know, cargo theft is a big problem. I’ve heard some horror stories of drivers losing their loads or even their trucks. The article gives some tips on how to enhance security, like using locks, seals or tracking devices. It even mentions some types of cargo theft 😂

I’m wondering if anyone here has any experience with these tips or devices. Do they really work? What are the pros and cons? I'd' appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

How do you stay alert on the road?

Hey guys, I need some help. I’ve been driving for a long time and I’m feeling tired and bored. I read this article about how to stay awake and alert on the road, but I don’t know if it works or not. It says to do things like:

  • Sleep enough and take naps
  • Avoid medication that can cause drowsiness1
  • Eat healthy and avoid sugar
  • Adjust your lighting
  • Exercise
  • Drink water

Do you guys do any of these things? Do they help you or not? I’m having trouble with some of them. I’m worried that if I don’t do these things, I might fall asleep or go crazy on the road. Have you guys ever experienced that? How did you cope with it?

I feel you. Driving can be a bitch sometimes. I try to do some of those things, but not all of them. I sleep when I can, but sometimes I have to push myself to make the delivery on time. I don’t take any meds that make me sleepy, but I do smoke some weed sometimes to relax. Don’t judge me, it works for me.

Why Electric Trucks Are the Future?

Hey gearjammers, read this article about the future of electric trucks and I gotta say, I'm not impressed. Sure, they claim these things can save fuel, reduce emissions, and run quieter, but what about the real issues that matter to us truckers?

First of all, how reliable are these electric motors? I don't want to be stuck on the side of the road with a dead battery or a fried circuit. And how long does it take to charge them up?

I don't know about you guys, but I love my diesel truck. It's got a roaring engine, a smooth transmission, and a classic look. It's my home away from home, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Electric trucks may be the future, but they're not for me. What do you think?

I don’t care about electric trucks. I care about freedom. Freedom to drive where I want, when I want, and how I want. Freedom to blast my music, honk my horn, and rev my engine. Freedom to fill up my tank with good ol’ American diesel and not some foreign juice. Electric trucks can’t give me that freedom. They can only take it away.
