Lets be honest here most of these jalopnik edgelord edgecases are peeing in Gatorade bottles and only stopping to get some mickey-ds to pitch at their imaginary kids as they white-knuckle it from Denver to Detroit in one sitting.

Im going to split the difference between you too and say that most vehicle-miles are suburban driving since that’s where you have to drive a car everywhere to live. 

FWIW I see a ton of truckers with a headset on. I think it makes it a lot easier to hear them talking on the phone, and if they’re independent they always have to be finding the next load.

Everyone is freaking out because gas went up a couple of bucks per gallon at most. Over a 20 gallon tank that’s between 20 and 40 bucks. So, high end if you’re fueling up weekly (and I hope you are with a 20-gal tank!) it’s an extra $800/year, which is fucking insignificant in the grand scheme of how expensive cars…

I hope the used prices on those fuckers go down because I irrationally want one 

Well, real ‘murican trucks, none of them baby sized ones.

You want options look at trucks or porsches. Whoo!

Free-dumb.

WELL THEY HAVE THE BIBLE READ TO THEM EVERY WEEK!

1) Spokanistan, so take it with a giant lump of salt

They’re not $60 anymore.

They’re not $60 anymore.

What percentage of these truck drivers in Chicago are Ukrainian? 

Thanks for keeping it all oppo here at Pandemlopnik.

Yeah, the Seattle metro has been building a light rail system and costs keep going up mainly due to ROW costs. The actual building part is fine.

What in the actual fuck are you talking about?

Ya gotta who lots of assumptions in there buddy. Better think about how you would get that done as someone who lives in a transit dominated city rather than a car-centric suburban shit hole.

Had a talk with the managers at my office, and in no uncertain terms told them that unless they reopened the office accessible by public transport I would not be coming back into the office to do work I could do at home. They agree since their remaining deep suburban office is about 25% of the size they need if…

Yeah, just down the road from me it goes from “Kitsap silt loam (which is really just highly weathered till) ” to “Vashon age glacial till” which, in case you’re unfamiliar, is silt/clay with sand, gravel, and cobbles; hard, and an excellent aquitard. There’s a group of houses built past where the sewer system ends…

Man, that’s a shitty situation. A shituation if you will. My FIL got his drain field aerated to get another decade out of the thing, and I’m knocking on wood I can get another 20 out of my drain field. At least it’s in a sandy silt that has a high transmissivity so it’s flowing OK as near as I can tell. The duplex at…

We’ve had a hell of a time scheduling drillers to complete work, since they also have the skills to be equipment operators and construction workers and that sector is booming in the PNW. Basically, the drilling companies have lost whole crews to new jobs/each other. There’s a real disconnect between what the subs are…
