In trucking very often you have to swing right to make a wide left. ;)

We can only hope, though the sentiment towards Canadians has been rapidly degrading over the last little while. I still think that anyone who has property down there should get out while they still can.

The local radio station just played AC/DC thunderstruck, and then immediately followed it up with freebird. It's like they're TRYING to make me commit felony speeding.

Obviously if it doesn't encompass every aspect of your life you're a poser and not a real furry. Duh.

Jesus christ, if you're a Canadian and you own property in Florida, first of all; why? Second of all, you should probably sell it ASAP even if this doesn't pass through. www.cbc.ca/news/world/f...

I've had to block every single locally owned dog poop clean up business because they constantly fill the local groups with AI generated pictures of literal dog shit. God what a stupid time to be alive.

One of my biggest gripes about buying a Tushy bidet is all the shit puns in the marketing and instructions. And I don't mean shit-tier puns. I mean puns about shit.

The buns actually turned out perfectly. Made Blackened chicken sandwiches with garden fresh bruschetta and balsamic glaze.

Honestly it's a relatively common sentiment among racists.

Aperture Flash @apertureflash.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Furthermore, if you think I'm somehow more qualified or a better trucker simply because I'm a white dude who was born here with a rural background, you can fuck right off, you ain't my brother. Experience, diligence, and practice is what makes the gear jammer, not background. #Trucking

The other day somebody called me "one of the last white Canadian truckers." Like it was some kind of compliment. That shit annoys the hell out of me. Please don't use me as a White Knight for your racist bullshit.

You know it's a terrible combination? A tall profile, food grade, spring ride, tank trailer. This thing is surging and rocking back and forth like crazy. #LongHaulLife

Went through Newark New Jersey today. Christ that airport is huge. If you live in Newark, do you get used to the smell after a while or, like, is it just sort of omnipresent there in the back of your mind?

I mentioned off-handedly that there wasn't much going out this week and my dispatcher said we have majorly scaled back production because there's some uncertainty with the tariffs. That fuckwit Trump is directly hurting my paycheck.

Honestly splitting the lower range is only useful if you're on an extreme grade or in really heavy rolling traffic. It's nice to have in your back pocket but not exactly necessary. Most of the time I pretty much drive it like the 13 speed

Oh no, it's an 18-speed, just like my feet. It's a very nice truck, but I really don't love all the nanny Tech in this thing. I don't like a truck that mutes my radio if I get too close to the side of the road, and I ain't got no love for a digital dash. Honestly I'm not bothering with the SXM...

Honestly, it's good to hear that. I feel like daytime running lights are important. Unfortunately this was a matter of weight permitting in New York state. Just some paperwork that didn't get done on my truck, I suppose.

I do not like this truck, but I will say the sound system is phenomenal.

My Peterbilt didn't have the proper permits for this run so work stuck me in somebody else's truck. Feels like I'm driving a spaceship. #LongHaulLife

If anyone likes The Elder Scrolls I suggest looking at Lantern of the Laughless Saint. It's a ScrollsLike that's done a good job of capturing that Morrowind feel. It's been a ton of fun. Still in early access, but it's fully beatable and has lots of content. Including caked up mushrooms.

My Hope, is that this dude is recently out of an organization and just hasn't had a chance to get the tattoos covered or removed, they looked pretty old. Who knows, maybe this will be one of the rare times that Trucking leads somebody to a less hateful, better life. We can only hope, right?

He was the one that had the least experience. I didn't notice the tattoo until I had already started helping them, it's pretty dark here and frankly I needed their parking space lol. Honestly the first thing I noticed about him was the bright green Coachella sweater he was wearing.

What was weird was it was two dudes, a guy who seemed to be of Hispanic origin, and a white dude. The white dude struck me as interesting because his head and neck were completely covered in tattoos, his eyebrows were tattooed, and he had a very prominent "HATE" tattoo on his forehead.

They had a real loud air leak coming from there trailer, and they were unable to slide their tandems. They didn't realize that they couldn't slide their tandems because of the air leak. I gave them a technique to make it work to get them legal but that trailer definitely needs some service.
