A living off the road question.

Straight to the point: I am paying almost $600/month for a place back in my home state that I have only been to for about 5 days in total in the last year. My fleet doesn’t get that many runs back home, and quite frankly, I kinda like just living on the road. I want to get rid of my apartment, but it is listed as my place of residence on my DoT forms.

Clogged air line

Anyone got tips of cleaning out a air line that has a blockage in it? I left the glad hands open and some bug or animal got in there and clogged up the service airline to my 20 ton trailer.

I just got my CDL Monday April 8, 2024. But did not know I would come into the industry. I got a speeding ticket exactly two years ago for doing 20 over speed limit. I now know I wont get hired especially with no experience because I’ve been told by companies. Will OTR hire? Should I wait another year to re-apply? Should I use an attorney? I wish I had someone who knew about this to warn me to fix that issue or done my research before even getting my CDL but it happened and now I have to…

Obtaining part numbers from dealer

So I used to be able to call my local dealer and get part numbers and then shop around for the best price. Now they’re all giving me a hassle and won’t give me the part numbers for that same reason. Does anyone know of a freightliner dealer that I can call and will give me a part number without issue?
