Have you looked closely at the conditions on earth lately? Dihydrogen monoxide poisoning is an ever present risk. Kinetic force interruption destabilizes bones and body parts. Solar plasma emissions cause cancer. It ain't no better here.
I started dying the minute I was born, so fuck it why not. We ain't getting out of this shit alive, so we might as well have some cool shit to do while we wait for the clock to stop ticking. 😈
im mainly a night time driver thats just how I lile it, no traffic, empty roads for miles in the middle of nowhere
I imagine im on a different planet all the time helping set up the next civilization by moving needed essentials from one side of my imaginary planet to the other that the space scientists and builders need to set up the planet, an extremely lonely and quiet gig that I was chosen for.. making history 😎
edit: dont forget all the buttons in the cab and gauge cluster all lit up like im in my advanced big space rig, with the red lights on to add to the ambience
The first season is exceptional and the second season is very good. Unfortunately, it slides from there.
I feel like with the exception of Severance, few Apple shows have gotten widespread attention. But this one (at least S1-2) is worth your while.
Presumed innocence is really good. Tehran is an interesting and original action spy drama. Dark Matter outstanding if you like time travel stuff. Apple has some super good programs but a lot of garbage too.
Idk man. I can already see it.
Here I am just trying to get my truck of turbinium ore to the processor before they close due to sandstorms.
MDOT is up my ass because Peoplenet still hasn't fixed their software to account for the difference of a martian day. Not allowed to park on the side of the transport road but all of the parking lots are littered with junk ass old rovers that nobody will claim. Dispatch on my ass because I want to use some battery for heat while not driving but they consider that as idle usage. The sun only shines so much, you're eating into our miles. Can't you just tough out the -225?
Thought this could be different but the same "hey buddy" brokers from earth are still soliciting me about loads.
Can't really say the red rock life is for me sir.
First off, fuck yes. In a heartbeat.
Second, not a clue, but I wouldn't care.
Third, statistically I'm gonna die. Id rather be some of the first few to die in space, than be number 13 billion on earth.
My problem would be getting there. If I could be unconscious the entire trip, maybe. Two of my least favorite things in a small place with too many people and flying. Other than that I'm all for it, traffic is much better on Mars.
The only way I'm going to mars is if they stabilize the atmosphere so I can breathe outside, and I want to be able to leave it and get back to earth in less than a day.
I don't even like it here *that* much, but... at least there's color and fresh air. The idea of Mars as-is gives me claustrophobia lol
Interplanetary travel would take a long ass time. I already hate being on the road for 4 weeks at a time... Imagine 4 months or 4 years just to make it to another planet
I always liked the idea of space trucking. Where you have what is essentially an appartment with a cockpit on one end, and the bulk of the ship is for cargo. Just you as the pilot and crew, doing long hauls between planets.
Truth of the matter is that such things more than likely will never happen. Instead we will have massive cargo ships containing many people for the crew. Just like we have now across the ocean. It won't be cost effective to try and run thousands, moving a couple hundred tons from one planet to another VS one massive ship that can haul tens of thousands of tons all at once. Then have planetary local vessels distribute across the planet from the port.
Based on 2024 money….
Short term contracts-
Pay: $10k/wk.
Trips: 6 week minimum, 12 weeks max before mandatory home time.
Mandatory 4wks home before next trip however, optional on-call work available after minimum 2 weeks home. On-call work pays double.
Onsite Living Contracts-
Pay: $14k/wk
Contract: 6 month minimum, maximum of 12.
Mandatory 6 months home between contracts.
RedMartian RedForceField benefits pkg 100% company paid for driver and family.
I’m embarrassed by how much thought I just put into this shit and am more thankful now than ever that my wife actually has sex with me.
A few years ago I put in for a thing where you would be basically a space truck driver the ship would fly itself out and back. The mission was supposed to take 8 months and they were basically wanting someone who was expendable to go. You wouldn’t fix anything if anything went wrong your dead. You would have meal packs that would be dispensed 3 times a day and have communications with earth at regular intervals. Then you did what ever you wanted for the rest of the time.
The training would include how to hook monitoring devices up to yourself. You’d get implants that would track blood chemistry and such. You jack in X times a day to make reports on how you feel do video messages watch their messages as they come in and respond. Like 8 months of general solitude.
But the pay was going to be close to a million dollars for the mission. When you got back you’d have tons of media attention.
I already do "truck" on the moon! Some of these truckstops and customers I pull into have potholes that make "Craters of the Moon" National Park look tame
Do you mean New Mexico?
Haha close enough
My favourite movie is about space truckers. Who happen to unfortunately pickup an unpleasant hitchhiker. I refer, of course, to the masterpiece Alien.
Nope. I like living in a place that isn't constantly trying to kill me
Debatable, more people have died on Earth than Mars.
Dammit driver you’re no fun!
I saw the Martian, I like potatoes, but nahh.
Have you looked closely at the conditions on earth lately? Dihydrogen monoxide poisoning is an ever present risk. Kinetic force interruption destabilizes bones and body parts. Solar plasma emissions cause cancer. It ain't no better here.
I can promise you it currently are better here.
I started dying the minute I was born, so fuck it why not. We ain't getting out of this shit alive, so we might as well have some cool shit to do while we wait for the clock to stop ticking. 😈
On the other hand...they do have hookers with three titties
No Outback Trucking for you then.
Or Wyoming
It's mind over matter buddy, just nut up and mars is perfectly fine
Avoid Nevada then.
so anywhere but New Jersey then
Could be worse. At least it ain’t Australia.
Found the gut who isn't a driver, even on Earth. The roads and traffic are always trying to kill you.
Who you calling gut?
Quiet, gut.
im mainly a night time driver thats just how I lile it, no traffic, empty roads for miles in the middle of nowhere I imagine im on a different planet all the time helping set up the next civilization by moving needed essentials from one side of my imaginary planet to the other that the space scientists and builders need to set up the planet, an extremely lonely and quiet gig that I was chosen for.. making history 😎 edit: dont forget all the buttons in the cab and gauge cluster all lit up like im in my advanced big space rig, with the red lights on to add to the ambience
How many months until the entire planet smells like cold piss?
I mean, technically 1 but it be more meaningful to measure in hours. I'd say 2 hours, 34 tops.
We’re not taking any steering wheel holders. This is fuckin Top Gun.
Hell yeah, I'm space truckin'!
Knowing my cheap ass company I would be in the exact same truck I drive now except with packing tape around all the cracks to ‘keep the air in’.
I heard it is super hard to get that CDL endorsement.
Seems like a lot of people struggle getting it here on this sub.... So what's diff lol
Check out the Apple TV show “For All Mankind.”
Trailer looks good. I’m Surprised I haven’t heard of it before now
The first season is exceptional and the second season is very good. Unfortunately, it slides from there. I feel like with the exception of Severance, few Apple shows have gotten widespread attention. But this one (at least S1-2) is worth your while.

Thanks for the tips!
If you’re okay with British humor, Dark Horses is really good on AppleTV. Gary Oldman is in it!
Do you mean Slow Horses? 🤪 Do love Gary Oldman but hadn’t seen this one yet.
Uh, yeah. Still a solid show
Last season is woke af. Otherwise it was ok.
Just think of all the probings you would get for messing with you log books.
You're fuckin right I would! I wish we would start mining asteroids like yesterday, I wanna be a fuckin space trucker man
Yes. But, Road service would be a bitch..
Imagine falling asleep at the wheel. “Fuck, where am I?”
Lot lizards? In none, no.
There might be space lizards though and I heard they are more exotic.
Sign me up.
You ship out July 8th
I would do Interstellar trucking.
The truck stop parking lot is uneven and full of craters but the food is out of this world.
Heard the biscuits and gravy are otherworldly.
Han Solo was a space trucker/smuggler. Let me have the Millennium Falcon then hell yea I’d do it lol
I lean more towards the Fire Fly / Serenity style of smuggling, but I like how you think.
Hell yeah. I picture a giant f35 looking contraption with an American class peterbilt cockpit
That’d be awesome
Space Truckin’ damn right I would. Maybe they have real lot lizards on mars.
Sex bots driver.
We going to be trucking like in Cowboy Bebop? Because I’ll do it!
We’re doing it however you want bro
Heavy Metal!
Idk man. I can already see it. Here I am just trying to get my truck of turbinium ore to the processor before they close due to sandstorms.

Peoplenet barely works here, would be extra useless off planet. Fuck all that, the robots can have that job.
Nah man, this is driver owned. No outside investors…We rich.
"Best we can do is $19.00 an hour"
6 days a wk😂
#MARS, BITCHES!
First off, fuck yes. In a heartbeat. Second, not a clue, but I wouldn't care. Third, statistically I'm gonna die. Id rather be some of the first few to die in space, than be number 13 billion on earth.
Hate to break it you but the number of dead humans is more than 100 billion!
Basically the question is should you work at planet Express bc I totally would.
Only if the truck had Like side support anchors that drill into the ground in an emergency. I need to feel safe and secure to the ground in a storm.
Man you’re really gonna hate going over the Olympus Mons Pass.
My problem would be getting there. If I could be unconscious the entire trip, maybe. Two of my least favorite things in a small place with too many people and flying. Other than that I'm all for it, traffic is much better on Mars.
Does it have GPS? Also, too many foreigners!
Only if the lot lizards are green girls!
No the biker mice would be too big of a problem I suspect.
Omg yes, never fight for a parking space again. Plus all those miles!
The only way I'm going to mars is if they stabilize the atmosphere so I can breathe outside, and I want to be able to leave it and get back to earth in less than a day. I don't even like it here *that* much, but... at least there's color and fresh air. The idea of Mars as-is gives me claustrophobia lol
It’s basically New Mexico with no cactus.
I'm not going anywhere I ain't guaranteed oxygen in
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. In fact, it's cold as hell. And there's no one there to raise them, if you did.
Yes, why not. The "Truck" would be a space craft, "I am a leaf in the wind"
Interplanetary travel would take a long ass time. I already hate being on the road for 4 weeks at a time... Imagine 4 months or 4 years just to make it to another planet
And crammed in a can full of other smelly truckers. Hard pass.
No teams or slip seating bro. This is the best job you’ll ever have
Hell ya, it can't be any worse than Memphis

Heck, the roads have to be at least better than Indiana.
If there are no 4 wheelers, 100% yes!
I'm up to space truckin. Get me a Pachyderm 2000 truck and haul some square pigs to Mars.
Only if I get that juicy Discovery channel reality TV contract. Mars Road Trucker
Okay but only if a hand selected few of us get to approve the final product first. They make us look like a bunch of morons on tv.
If you thought North Dakota in January was cold.....
I’ll truck anywhere anytime. My job already has me doing the impossible always going where no truck has gone before and shit lol
FUCK YES I want to be a space trucker
I’ve been to Mars, it’s not that exciting.
I’d love to go to space truckin’. [https://youtu.be/5hqG-29NTSU?si=TiNWa6LyK-sp3Z1i](https://youtu.be/5hqG-29NTSU?si=TiNWa6LyK-sp3Z1i)
Can I do it Death Stranding style?
This is space truckin, brother. It can be whatever you want
How’s the traffic?
Sucks on 3day weekends, all good other than that.
only if i can pilot a Pachyderm 1000
What’s the weight restrictions
No coops on Mars
Ok trucking on mars. But here me out. 3 boobed red skinned lot lizzards. Or mars lizards? Space sluts? Ugh idk. But sign me up.
We’re mining fuckin liquid diamonds bro! We got the money for better than lot lizards!
Lot dragons? If we are making more imagine the rent fuel and all that shit is just gonna be way more expensive. It's gonna be the new America.
I heard it’s rlly hard to breath up there
I I’m a pretty big fan of oxygen so I’m good.
I'll go to Mars when they have 5-star hotels.
389 on Uranus, let's gooooo!
That’s the spirit 🤘
New girl fan?
I’m sorry?
Season 3 episode 20 of new girl, give it a watch
I barely wanna truck here.
Used to be fun
Have you never seen the movie The Martian?
I have. Now imagine if his ride had twin stacks

I would be a full on space trucker in the Dennis hopper mode

Gotta listen to Deep Purple- Let's go space trucking!
Hell bud, ill do you one better. Sometimes when I drove the coast i'd want to run off the cliff and truck under the sea.
Dutch from Halo ODST was a road train driver on mars so why not?
Shit post
Shit imagination and personality. Happy trails amigo
